Uhoh Trouble in the RCC: Matthew 22:24. lol Which church of god?

Yep. He's a card alright. (Sorry, just had to let that one out. It was making me feel bloated).

One of the spin offs based in Nauvloo Ilinois. OR independence Missouri.
Great industry. Take your pick...

And priests in the Old Inkan Rite could rip your f*cking heart out of your chest for sh*ts and giggles.

Gimme that old time religion
Gimme that old time religion
Gimme that old time religion
It's good enough for me

:smile:
Ok, but where does you theology about the e four dead airplanes flying with the Angels come from, o Shawnee Prophet?

There's three ways out of the priest crunch:

1. Remove the celibacy rule.

2. Term priesthood.

3. Ordain women.

I calculate the old men in Rome'll let priests f*ck virgins on the altar before they'll let women be ordained.

Already occurs. Next holdback clause...

Got me. We know even less about our religion than we do about yours. A few generations in the Indian schools'll do that.

Not on the altar. Yet.

That would be a weapon of Mass destruction.

It would be a Catechlysm.

Would the priests be guilty if they were just following holy orders?

Odd how people complain about no change, then when the man is leading change what are the comments????
Rather telling is it not?
Any takers?????

And maybe people are just jaded from being made promises that ring as hollow as Obama's promise of change.

Do you consider that to be a fair comparison?

We don't know yet how much action there will be behind the words. Besides I wasn't making a comparison, just an observation that maybe people are jaded.

Fair- I do see him leading the way for change. That is a positive in my opinion.

Yes, some would qualify, in different categories.

Pope Francis opens landmark meeting on reforming the Catholic church: ‘Open ourselves toward the future’ | National Post

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis opened a landmark meeting Tuesday on reforming the Catholic Church, saying he wants a missionary church with a modern spirit that gives hope to the poor, the young and the elderly like his namesake St. Francis did.

Francis convened his own parallel cabinet of eight cardinals from around the globe for three days of brainstorming on revamping the Vatican bureaucracy and other reforms. The move fulfills a key mandate of the cardinals who elected him pope to involve local church leaders in making decisions about the universal church.

On the same day the meetings started, Rome daily La Repubblica published a lengthy interview with Francis, his second in as many weeks. For someone who has said he abhors giving interviews, Francis has made himself remarkably amenable to taking questions about his faith and vision for the church.

I am baffled by the swooning of the conservative secular press, such as the National Post, over Pope Francis. Is it because to date his papacy is marked by rhetoric but little substance? No change is like the status quo?

He SHOULD judge gay priests.

The Catholic Church should always teach its traditional teachings, not change its teachings just to suit society.

Have to completely disagree with you there Blackleaf. It is about time the RCC evolved and they still have a long way to go. I applaud this new Pope, I hope he updates the thinking on birth control as well so that HIV and Aids in places like Africa is slowed down/

Do you plan to give the man the time?

 

[Spade]

The time when he effects real change.

Until that time the jury's out.

And how long will it take to make effective change?
The bureaucrats at the Vatican for one.
Changing the focus of the church? Does not happen overnight.

What, no miracles?
