• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

This is to commemorate a great man (it's his birthday today). He was one of the two longest reigning pontiffs in the history of the Church (the other was St. Peter, the length of whose reign is uncertain). He presided over the First Vatican Council and pronounced the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. He is also known for his justice and fortitutude in handling the case of Edgardo Mortara, his heroic handling of the case indirectly led to the loss of his temporal power.

Yep. He was okay. But I liked his predecessor better.
