Ok. First Assisi in 1986, earthquake in 1997 and second Assisi was in 2002. And...?
This is for you: "EARTHQUAKES & DISASTERS!"
My faith is not shaken by Pope John Paul II doing his spiritual part in trying to unite, in brotherhood, as children of God that He created, peace among the nations.
He is not a secular world leader. He is head of the Catholic Church and therefore has given legitimacy to every other crackpot religion that cared to share the spotlight, even outright demon-worshipers. This is not even to mention the scandal he has given to millions of Catholics around the world. He is also doing something every previous pope had warned against as well--and understood as a violation of the First Commandment. He might have merely presided at a religious conference or given a friendly lunch at some fine hotel. But to have worshiped side by side with animists and Budhists and witchdoctors was unacceptable.
