Really? Well it seems that the Pope does not interpret the Bible literally and he does tend to speak for Catholics. However it is good that you and others would be so fundamentally disconcerted by “an emotionally charged hypothetical”. Perhaps it will cause you to reflect, rethink and perhaps alter your beliefs however difficult and challenging that may be. Perhaps its a good time for a little counter Reformation.
“Well it seems that the Pope does not interpret the Bible literally and he does tend to speak for Catholics.”
Ahhh, yes, “he does tend to.” Tend would be the operative word.
“Perhaps its a good time for a little counter Reformation.”
Would that be with or without the violence and killing?
