No one can have authority in or over your life unless you give it to them. Question authority!. In my life, my authority trumps all else.
: New pope elected is Pope Francis, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina.

I question your assertion.
I fear Goober is becoming Catholic on us; remind him that Earth as well as heaven deserves his respect.

I am god, the divine spark within or as Jesus said (in the bible), "The kingdom of god is within,"
He deserves his respect first.
The Interior agrees with you, Cliffy. You are right; the divine exists in each of us. That is why, when you pass a stranger or one with whom you may even disagree,always nod out of respect, for he is your brother and possesses that spark, too.
well corporate is corporate and politics is politcs, the vatican is both, wonder what their
bank balance is. They have a front that sucks in millions.
Huge.
The main purpose of a female is making more humans, side stepping nature for convenience is pathetic regardless of the circumstances.
Murder is murder. It's still her baby, she an keep it or put it up for adoption.Prior to Heeb lawyers fvcking with Christian morals, traditions and laws every chance they get, the Church took care of unwed mothers and and found families for hundreds of millions of unwanted babys.
Do mothers who get drunk and impregnated not love their children? What about hosebags who have no clue who the father is not love their children? What aout abused women? Do they not love their children?
If you aren't capable of raising and loving your child, do us all a favour and get spayed ASAP.
There is no politics on the pulpit. As a non-Catholic, you're only assuming. .Women are equal in every way except for doing the Eucharist. The reason for that is the Church is female. That it is why it is known as Mother Church, this is also why Priests don't take a wife is because they are married to the Church.
A little understanding goes a long way.
It's not corporate and the only politics they ae involved in is within the Church.
What is there to change and what needs fixing?
Labelling the Church as Conservative or Liberal is ridiculous and massive a joke on anyone who thinks you can tie a 2000 year old Doctrine to modern politics.
Conservative and Liberal labels are useless when those two terms have defintions, that are meaningless.
Todays defintions don't describe the terms as they were 50 years ago.

So I can't comment.
You have said this before. I do not believe this is the churches stance on this at all.Quote: Originally Posted by Petros

It's how the Church works.
Women can't do the ritual of Eucharist for the reasons given. It would be like Buddhist giving up yang and just going with yin yin.

On Medieval Total War it is... but that is a computer game.
Outside of that they'll have to settle with these guys...
Think about it this way; although Islam as a religion has the largest number of followers, it has no formal army. However, one (or a few) small factions of that religion are capable of attracting no end of 'soldiers' to wage their wars.
The Vatican can be considered much the same.
Methodists; behind the bike racks; after school
I get the Islam part. But the Catholics? And a ridiculous 1 Billion+ number was thrown out there. Seriously?
I'm only driving at the potential... I'm not suggesting that the Pope issue a decree for a call to arms for a RCC army.
Let's face it, back in the day, the wars were fought in the name of one religion or another. They were able to amass armies back then (with willing nations/States), but the impetus was initiated by a religion... In the end, people are people and I would put money on their ability to raise some kind of rag-tag force
The nasty, horrible Buddhists, Muzzies, Hindus, Druids and Eskimos.
What your alternate theory? Ancient alien astronauts?
That's how many RCs there are. If the sh*t hit the fan, RCs have the numbers to be a dominant force and the accesss to the best resources money can buy.
