Looking every bit like darth sideouse of star wars fame the pope comes to Uber Amerika and this is what he didnt say" People of america, my sheeplike masses your hard earned tax dollars are being wasted spilling the blood of innocents in Iraq why do you not hold your leaders accountable for not practising the word of jesus? Peace and love! they claim to be men of god there deeds are that of the devil. I urge you all to pray for an end to the needles human suffering in iraq and let our planets dwindling resourses be used to eleviate human suffering not create it..........AMEN

spoken like the devout and true Catholic that you are, madman. I trust that I will see you at mass tomorrow, and every Wed and Sunday hereafter?

amen brother i am born again iam now an ordained online minister. allow me to tend to your spirtuale needs

Maybe he realizes that we have a separation of Church and State???

yes but they meddle in other maters of church and state, amen, but none that realy matter like say for example.....A million dead Iraqi civilians, but hey ya gota have those ten commandments in the court house

I take it you haven't received communion!!

You shouldnt speak to an ordained online minister in such a way but as jesus teaches I fogive you

Well I'll be damned!!!

madisonman,

What is your beef with the Pope anyway?

He can't control what the Bush Administration does!

Or any other administration for that matter.

Were you beaten by nuns as a child?

though i'm absolutely against the nonsense which is hapenning in Iraq. I find very derogatory this thread against the pope, and everything he represents.
I agree that he has nothing to do with the imbecile president of this country and the decisions he makes, but there is no reason to bash the pope.

I just find it massivly hypocritical that these religiouse types who profess peace and love" can come to america and give our phycotic government some type of legitamacy by saying or doing nothing in regards to our brutal and oppresive polices. Is not the pope the final word in these matters?

I take it you didnt see him and Bush together? smileing for the cameras? I almost heaved

madisonman,

Do you think it would even matter if the Pope did make some public statement?

And no, the Pope is NOT the final word on these matters.

He might speak for the Catholics in the world, but he has limited influence on anyone else.

Just like the Dalai Lama.

It's like complaining that the Dalai Lama hasn't made any statement, as if the Dalai Lama could get them to do anything if he did.

It's a ridiculous argument.

diplomacy

I think ghandi is the only religouse man respect

politics is a better word and the pope is a politician

might I ask what religon you are a member of ? I am ashamed that liberals think ppl practice religon because the government does not do enough for them. And that is why Americans have guns also....as per your hero Osama bin Obama. And you nearly heaved at the pope? Take a few midol and some pepto and call me in the morning

: a case could be made about the blood soaked history of the catholic church that for centuries persecuted others all in the name of religion.

Madman,

Why don't you attack Buddhism and the Dalai Lama?

After all, the Dalai Lama hasn't spoken out against the Bush Administration lately?

That must mean he agrees with them and is complicit in their acts!!

Do you think the Catholic Church is the only religious organization in history that has committed atrocities in the name of God (past history)?

What about terrorists who blow up buildings and kill people
'in the name of Allah' like those who follow Al Quaida and the Taliban?

Where is your venom for them?

lol wow, such bigotry. Though truly not that surprising considering who it is coming from.
