Meekness is not trying to add another chapter to the New Testament.

Whatever happened to faith and morals?
I looked to all past popes for guidance and doctrine on those matters. Pope's back then were real represntatives of Christ on earth, not pretenders. They rendered to Caesar that which was Caesar's.

This sounds like the idiots over in the Episcopal Church. Last time I was in one, during Lent, they had taken down or covered up the Stations of the Cross and had substituted “The Stations of the United Nations Millenium Goals”.

You’ve got direct connect to God. Talk to Him. Direct Connect......
Now I grew up with the Catholic Church. I have been blessed in parking lots throughout NY state. My Dad makes the cassocks for the priests. Grandma was a Third Order Franciscan Monk buried in the robe with the rope belt.
You had to have been there when the other female monks came up to me and told me the gates of heaven would open more easily for me and my Dad.
I just smiled and thanked them. OMGosh!
God and I had such a hoot that day.

U.N. Millennium Goals?? I was going to say "Oh,Lord Have Mercy" but it's too absurd for that.
How about "Oh, ye globalist gobs of scooom, go soak yer heads"?
Or does that lack charity?

Scrap your car, let muslims live in your basement...
This pope is a mouth-breathing liberal idiot. Hope the "holy" Roman church is enjoying it's little kum-bah-ya moment.
