I love how these old men think they decide who God forgives talk about your satanic over-reach
but anyway it looks like abortion is in the Catholic news cycle this month

Pretty clear you don't understand what this means, but please, continue to be the expert.

Only you could warp this into a negative.

Nah, D has done a lot more with less than this. Chizz is like a D1B-wannabe. A mini-DIB if you will.

I am thrilled with the new Pope... I enjoy pretty much everything he does
I am not criticizing the man that is the pope
I'm criticizing a Religion that has a hierarchy


a hierarchy which allows humans to pretend they are closer to god than others
This whole - I talked to God and he forgives you - thing is hilarious



and please explain to me exactly what it is that "I'm not understanding"
I'm very curious about the subtleties

Hey Chizz, why don't you surprise the fuck out of all of us and make a football-related post or start a football-related thread here?

I don't care much for the hierarchy either, but the hierarchy isn't in place to allow humans to pretend to be closer to God than others. That's just not correct. Sure, some humans can use it as a vehicle to do just that, but at it's bare principles, that's not what it's there for.

The forgiveness by a priest is so they can still be a part of the church.

The forgiveness of God cannot be denied to one who has repented

The organization (The club) that defies the Bible by creating an organization that ignores Jesus teachings
You mean that Church..?

Everybody knows what Jesus said about being with God

I'm curious why the club is just now admitting they got it wrong for a thousand years

Priests go to prisons to allow murderers to confess. Why not allow the murderers that are not in prison to confess?

My agenda..?
I have regularly defended the ONE TRUE CHURCH on this forum
as an example of an evolving Religion - which is a huge plus - as an opposite example to Islam

I also have made it clear many times that I feel THE CHURCH does more good than harm
in a general sense

My agenda is not Anti-Catholic in the least
It's anti-Religious stupidity

Well I guess it's good that Catholicism isn't a religion. What a dumb comment Cleets.

It sure as hell is..
It's the largest denomination of Christianity in the world
Founded by "Christ" our lord and Savior

You can pretend like it isn't a Religion all you want but that don't make it so
I can pretend that the moon is Swiss Cheese too

You laugh but I've heard people say basically the same thing...
The debate that the "religion" is Christianity

Its just a big semantics circle jerk...

If you listen to this Pope carefully, he seems to be heralding that he believes the Second Coming is near.

BTW, if you read the Scripture with the same, the Second Coming does not bring the destruction of the world, but rather a time when the enemies of God are destroyed, and the world lives in peace under the rule of God.

The Pope keeps saying, in word and deed, it's time to be prepared. If you have lived with a grave sin, mercy and forgiveness will be freely given to those who ask.

And yes, Cleets, it's God who forgives. But the Pope is a messenger saying God's forgiveness is freely given,

Which has been preached and drilled into the heads of Christians since "Jesus" was crucified.

Maybe ISIS will get its ass kicked after all.
