Do you REALLY care about the next Pope?

How much do you care about who the next Pope is?

The only respect that I cared about re:pope was if the selected Cardinal was American or not. Can you all imagine how awful it would be to have a Pope weighing in on every domestic and foreign policy in the US? ... Eurgh.

No thank you.
 
Let's not be forgetting they control the Vatican Bank and one of the World's largest investment portfolios. When times are tough, stoke up the guilt messages to stoke up the collection baskets. Institutional guilt aimed at the parishioners, really large tax-free real estate investments, and a closet full of pedophiles. What could go wrong?

strumpets and gizmos it is...got it! :rock

An iconoclast... I like you already.
 
Being that over 17% of the world and 25% of Americans claim to be Catholic, yeah I think that we can give him a day. I know it isn't more urgent than finding out who the latest hollywood strumpet is banging, or what overpaid athletes are playing shoot'em up, or the next gizmo that's coming out to further allow for self enslavement, but we can be charitable, can't we?

Let the news networks carry all this stuff about the pope, the Braves spring training game is on CSS and I am happy. Braves 1 Miami 0 bottom of the sixth.
 
That's not very catholic like of you. Shame!

"Let he without sin cast the first stone"........I am but a sinner and far from perfect my left wing friend..........The only perfect person I ever heard of was our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Don't know why you're excited about the Braves... the Tiges are going to take it all.

Ah, yes, baseball.... America's pastime.... A way to pass the time til football season....har har...
 
We really don't care what you guys do, until you try to make it law.

Posts like yours give credence to the fear of the Vatican running this country. And it ain't gonna happen.

Don't know what that left wing crap is about and Yes I would love to see Abortion banned with the exception of when the womans life is endangered and I don't want to see the definition of marriage a holy sacrament changed.....If you don't like that sue me.
 
The pope is more important whether you're catholic or not. He is more influential, leads a greater number of people, etc.

He leads a smaller number of people all the time since lots of Catholics are either abandoning the Church altogether or just deciding that the Pope is a douchebag and ignoring anything coming out of the Vatican.

Oh, Christ....................
 
Maybe you were not alive when JFK ran for the presidency.

JFK made it extremely clear that no matter what the Vatican had to say, it would have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on his presidency, the Pope was totally powerless in influence on American politics. That's as it should be.

Mark 10:18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone."



What's this? Low self-esteem?

All of us would like to see the world run the way we want it ran. It doesn't work that way.
If your side continues to try to turn dogma into the law of the land, then you are confused, or cavalier, about what this country stands for.

Not only was this country created for religious freedom, but to be free from religious tyranny.

What you want... you will not get.

Yeah, Georgia Tech and Georgia. The ACC and the SEC, now that is football.
 
Now you show up when my computer just warned me that I have a low battery.

I hope all is well with you my friend.
