Just the direction the Catholic Church needed to make itself increasingly obsolete???dante said:more on his profile. yes the ex-nazi thing was a cheap shot, but he is definitely one of the hard-line right. great...

Off topic, but just a comment to insert here, how in the heck did that myth St. Peter "lets you in heaven" get started?fluff said:Still, he is 78 so St. Peter will probably be checking his name against the list soon enough.

Oh and the Hitler youth thing (if it's true) will go along way to normalizing relations with the Jews (God's chosen people per the Bible)...........NOT

Medevil. Catholic Church is the remains of the Roman Empire, I thing they were very pre-Medevil.Andyman_1970 said:What do you expect from a Medevil way of thinking some 500+ years later.........

Pope John Paul II molested little boys?El Jefe said:The big question is; will he let priests molest little boys like all the rest of the popes have?

Is this why I get the impression the molestation scandal has little impact abroad? I'd almost assume the Vatican PR department would be making coffee and working nights and evenings to make sure the problem didn't escalate.BSEVEER said:Not that we know of but he didn't do anything to stop it.
The Catholic church as it operates today, and the doctrines it holds were ratified at the council of Trent (from what I remember) in the 1400's - it has essentially not changed since then in doctrine or basic operation so thus I refer to it as a medieval (thanks Fluff) system. In the 1400 years prior to the council of Trent the Catholic chruch went through several iterations if you will - and thus bears little resembalence to the early church (pre 328 AD).Westy said:Medevil.

For one my "manual" makes no mention that being the head bouncer is Peter's job.................LOLfluff said:How d'you know it's a myth??? Eh???

Bingo!!! When the Molestation scandal first started , they went to the Vatican to ask for help, and were told to take care of it them slev, then when the american $$$ stopped ( or were slowed quite a bit ) then the Vatican got involved. It still just all boils down to Money!reflux said:Is this why I get the impression the molestation scandal has little impact abroad?

Yes, because ****ing little boys isn't a problem in the Catholic Church, it appears to be a creation of the liberal media:El Jefe said:The big question is; will he let priests molest little boys like all the rest of the popes have?

Do you get the feeling that this whole "transition Pope" thing is a scheme to bring in more $$? I mean - I've never seen so many cars parked at the local Catholic church than when JP-II was gravely ill/dying. I'll bet they saw a *HUGE* bump in donations during the last month or so..........splat said:Bingo!!!

Let me clarify this for you:Sandwich said:as far as the whole molestation thing goes...
with all the frivilous lawsuits that occur in the united states, why would anyone care about this? Where it did occur, it's a terrible thing, but I'd wager that some people were jumping on the bandwagon.
