Before being elected as the Pope, Cardinal Ratizinger was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. His job was to make sure Catholic Bishops followed the doctrines of the Church. What is wrong with this? The Catholic Church is one body, not 28,000 splintered groups teaching what ever fits their fancy. You also try to paint this picture that all Popes were horrible people killing innocent people every chance they got, this is nothing more than Jack Chick propaganda. There have been a small number of Popes that have committed crimes against people, but this is a very small number and if often exaggerated like Amor has done above. Yes, but the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the inquisition the name was changed in in 1908 and 1965, but it is the same organisation. Saying that only a few Popes were a bit bad is also problematic because the Roman Church sees the Pope as God's annointed earthly representative. It is an absurd amount of power and prestige to give to any individual. amor, Where have you been for the last year that I have been on here writing. I have stated over and over again on here that the Pope is a sinner, kind of like Peter was. Some Popes have been bigger sinners than other, however not one of them has ever tried to change the Church. Don't you find this somewhat amazing??? No other intsitution can claim this. So even through the worst of the worst Popes the Doctrines of the Catholic Church have stayed in place. Refer to Mathew 16:18-19 Jesus gives us his promise that the gates of hell will never prevail against His Church, right after he gives a mortal man (Peter) the keys to kingdom on earth.

Noooooooooooooooooooo. These are depraved people. There are good Moslems, but by and large it is a religion which will take a good person and turn him swiftly into a raving demoniac. Fortunately 'Raving Demoniacalism' passes for the normality in most of the Moslem world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Muslims have bombed a church. Why? "We carried out this shooting because of the pope's statement, and he must apologise," a man, who refused to give his name, told AFP. So there you go Amor...you said I can't predict tomorrow's news, yet here we have my prediction coming correct. Uh oh....and I it wasn't a lucky guess, I merely looked at past and recent events. So Iman Amor, what say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least give him that...geeze. Any dialog you have with the radical Muslims is gonna consist mostly of you apologizing and perhaps even converting to Islam. I think the Pope did the right thing by exposing the truth on what Islam really is. Someone needs to step up and warn the world. I like this Pope better than the last because it seems he understands the concept of a just peace rather than peace at all costs. Go Pope!
