Once you figure that out then you can really start living by the teachings of Christ. Until then you'll always be pointing a finger at others instead of loving them as Christ instructed you to do......

Very well stated, Paul.

Only read the headline but already feeling good.

Oh isn't that sweet. Sorry, but this atheist still believes the Catholic Church will continue to do far more harm than good.

Well this christian believes that a person's morality is a function of their upbringing and inner goodness - and further that the Church(es) do not have a monopoly in that area. In fact they seem more concerned with their survival as institutions than with my immortal soul - or any one else's for that matter.

They insisted on telling that I was guilty but never said what of. Yet they conveyed the image of God as a loving Father. I to am a father and would never consider laying such a guilt trip on our son.

The new pope is a Jesuit and a man grounded in the Sciences.

A suspect in the catholic community.

I believe he was elevated because the church was desperate after so many crisis.
