Pope Francis, The Choice (Time person of the year!)
Time ^ | Nancy Gibbs

Posted on 12/11/2013 6:31:03 AM PST by Morgana

Once there was a boy so meek and modest, he was awarded a Most Humble badge. The next day, it was taken away because he wore it. Here endeth the lesson.

How do you practice humility from the most exalted throne on earth? Rarely has a new player on the world stage captured so much attention so quickly—young and old, faithful and cynical—as has Pope Francis. In his nine months in office, he has placed himself at the very center of the central conversations of our time: about wealth and poverty, fairness and justice, transparency, modernity, globalization, the role of women, the nature of marriage, the temptations of power.

Socialist “Conservatives” are as bad as any other liberal. Looks like this Pope is one of them.

This is why a new movement, a movement that embraces Judeo/Christian ideals, hedonism, low taxes, eating of non-kosher foods, small government and circumcision is starting.

Some of us are at it’s fore(skin)front.

It’s my dream to walk up to both a rabbi and a priest on a Friday, while eating a salami and provolone sandwich and saying: “What a bite, bros?”

Am I interested in joining your religion but I am considering suing the doctor that stole my foreskin without my permission.

OTOH my youngest brother was not cut (so my other brother and I mocked him), and had some kind of problem that required him to get cut as a teen. My dad also had some kind of problem. I think perhaps there is a hereditary issue so maybe it was for the best.

Also, I like kosher salt.

The doctor did you a favor; uncut is just not feng shui.

“Also, I like kosher salt.”

Shalom Shabbat! You are a wise man. Sprinkle some on your salami - it brings out the flavor.

I was raised Roman Catholic.

And I sure as hell won’t make excuses for the guy.

If he’s a lib, he’s a POS. I don’t care if he’s the Pope or not.

God is still the higher Pay Grade, and if he’s not following what the Big Guy says, he’s a turd.

We have enough problem with liberalism without it coming from the Vatican as well.
