Hey trip, your Muslim is showing.
Meh, I say the same about the Allamahs. :thumb:

They're like the top "scholars" of Islam, even more so than the Grand Muftis and Grand Ayatollahs. Like the other "top" Islamic leaders, they're very regional and more than one can exist at a time, but it takes quite a bit to become an Allamah within a community. Only a few people have every achieved it, the most notable being Mohamad Iqbal...the dude who created the idea of an independent Pakistan.

But honestly, it's all bullshit. I think the only living one today is an Islamic extremist. :lol:

I sense you're mellowing a bit about the Catholic Church. Of course, you've always been right about the outrageous misconduct of the clergy (although I think you've exaggerated the matter somewhat).

Pope Francis is a lot like the Jesuits I had in college: extremely smart; engaging; authorities on matters of science, economics, arts, and politics. Moreover, the Jesuits I knew were committed to education and activism, and saw the mission of the Church as one rooted in social justice.

A theology professor I had, Fr. John Baldovin, use to say all the time, "I like John Paul II, don't get me wrong, but just wait until there is a Jesuit pope." I actually never expected a Jesuit pope, but I always knew the day was coming when the leadership of the Church would see its mission as one rooted in social justice.
Good post - indeed, the Jesuit nature of this pope is easily the uniqueness about Francis. And yes, for at least the past 50 years the Jesuits have been on this bent of social justice. Walk into any Jesuit-led church today and you pretty much get what you've been seeing with Francis. The Church certainly needed this and it's good that it's happening.
I've been calling for the same reforms and you disagreed all the way. Same with Joe.

You've been complaining about the Jesuits like it was still the 1500's. You even questioned Francis when he was elevated. You're old news, man. :thumb:

Not true. D and Cappy are big Pope fans. Here they are at a recent soccer game:

I criticized him for not doing enough to address your child rape and torture scandal. I'm not the only one and it's still valid.

You defend pedophiles and church criminals like its the 1500's. You're fucked.

So you disagree with the big guy's thoughts on income equality, the environment, and war. Is this because he's got Jesus wrong or you disagree with Jesus as well? I didn't know you could pick and choose and those seem like some pretty big issues to pick. But hey, as long as you are forgiven in the end, right? :kisswink:

Oh...and I don't care for multi-faceted organization/belief/movements...except the socialist workers party of course.

Holy shit. You didn't necessarily beat me to the punch but you nailed me. I was doing a search for llamas but didn't have time to post it. :lol: :notworthy:

Yes, I disagree with the notion that climate change is man-made and/or can be reversed by man.
Income equality? You mean equal pay for equal work? I'm OK with that.
War? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Except that it controls the world population. ;)
