12900223, Anyone else excited about the Pope coming?
Posted by godleeluv, Tue Sep-22-15 02:48 PM
I have never cared so much about seeing a Pope. And this is just on tv. But i like this Pope. I think. Ive watched some conspiracy videos so im a little skeptical.

12900224, His lover?

12900229, Hadnt heard about a lover.
Posted by godleeluv, Tue Sep-22-15 02:51 PM
Link me.


Mostly just whether he is working for God or the Devil.


But i think he is legit.

Posted by Nappy Soul, Tue Sep-22-15 03:32 PM
Yes I'm excited to see them lose their mind over him. the GOP is still under the impression that today catholicism is the same they knew 25 years ago and see the Catholic church as an ally in their crusade of fake pudor and exploiting the poor. He is about to address congress and they're already preparing the waaambulance in case they don't like what they hear.I hope is about to shake their sad little World.

Ever heard any Pope speak on anything related to the people of Africa or their descendants?
12900458, from a political angle it's not, which is what he was referring to

yes. and his next visit will be to Africa.

12900661, Could you point me in the direction of that information?

I find it hard to believe that the same chuch which had its priests in the slave castles raping women and sending the children they sired to Europe is now somehow on the side of these same people. The institution has always been corrupt and always will be.
12900984, sure --> google "pope + africa"

you have a great penchant for treating things that happened centuries ago as if they were current events. you would've made a good Islamic fundamentalist that way.
12902676, Thanks for noticing

Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

You're right the by the way. Some excellent lip service was given to the continent and those connected to it. I stand corrected.
12900315, A far as I know he hasn't healed a single person -- so no.
Posted by Atillah Moor, Tue Sep-22-15 03:34 PM
12900454, was he supposed to?
Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Tue Sep-22-15 06:47 PM
12900657, He sits in place of Christ. Supposedly has the keys to the kingdom.
Posted by Atillah Moor, Wed Sep-23-15 10:08 AM
A la the apostle Peter who according to what is written could also heal. So if he sits in that place shouldn't he be able to? If he can supposedly make it so the dead can be prayed to (which he can't) then surely helping the living should be within his power right?
12901053, that would give him authority, not superpowers

I dunno, maybe if he's got some Nyquil or something.

Christian Dalits in India filed a complaint on Tuesday with the United Nations accusing the Holy See of not doing enough to curb discrimination faced by "untouchables" within the Catholic Church.

Posted by StephBMore, Wed Sep-23-15 11:09 AM
do you share the same sentiment as him because of this untouchables issue? and if so, when the pope addresses the UN this week, if he brings up this issue and his stance, which is most likely a criticism of how things are being done in Indian catholic churches, will you still hold this view?

yes. if he makes some actual changes on the ground and dalits say things are better, then i will say cool, good job.

i also posted about the canonization of junipero serra, which is another reason to be critical of the church and il papa.

the behavior of catholic hospitals in the u.s. wrt reproductive rights is another issue to be critical of.

as you can read, i don't use the sort of language guru used, but i would say that i find the cheerleading in this thread to be disappointing and not the leftwing pro-people-of-color fight-the-poweritude that i come to okp for.

So yea, you're sorta right. Luckily I've never had to talk or interact with any nun/priest.

I could care less about Indian catholics as well... Bunch of boot licking white Jesus praising lackeys.
