1. darkjedi (4380) | 1 year ago | Ahhh the pope the great leader of all the worlds damn child molestors, that say its alright to do it with boys but not with girls. Almost worship? Hell I think they do worship him. I think priests and all that should beable to get married, its natural. Then maybe choir boys wont be in danger anymore.
Pagan and Proud

| etnad0 (78) | 1 year ago | wow... lol... i agree with most of it, although, i wouldn't say all priests are child molestors. i don't even think most of them are, but the few who are did make it look very bad on the rest of them.

2. kangallo (1598) | 1 year ago | Originally, I was catholic, but now I have left religion. It is not some, but almost all catholics who are worshipping the Pope. This has become a sort of habit and the catholics are mechanically worshipping him. Say something against the Pope, and a catholic will shake with anger. No, Pope cannot reprsent Christ on earth. The Popes were the ones who fought the crusades, brought in inquisition and hunted down witches. Is there a single pope who has not committed a crime? I do not think God will approve of what the Pope is doing. Still God is keeping silent about it, because God has given free will. The Pope is the most horrible man. And the Pope goes on criticising and condemning those things which he does not like.

| etnad0 (78) | 1 year ago | in some ways i agree. all men sin, but the way they bow to him is unheard of in the Bible. even the angels would stop men from bowing at their feet.

3. Pose123 (5847) | 1 year ago | Hi etnad0, Most catholics have great respect for the pope, but they don't really worship him. He is the head of their church and they hold him in esteem. I am not a Catholic, but have friends who are. There may be things in that church that I don't agree with, but those people have a right to their belief. My personal opinion of the pope is that he is a man like any other. Blessings.

4. paisleylass (286) | 1 year ago | First of all we catholics dont worship the pope. He is the head of the church. He is succesor to Peter whom Jesus placed as head of the church Thou art Cephas (Rock) and upon this rock I will build my church. Whatever you declair on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Pretty clear to me

| etnad0 (78) | 1 year ago | Jesus is also known as the rock, but most assume He was talking to Peter and not pointing to Himself when He said it. sort of a literary play on words. the more correct translation of the text is, "but upon this rock (pointing to himself) I will build my church"
another problem with Peter being the foundation of the church is the fact that Christ, not Peter, is the what the church is built upon. there were also other disciples present that went on their own seperate way preaching the word. Paul also had to chastise Peter when he got out of hand, and most Christians hole Paul in a higher regard than peter.

5. Pirate_Arg (262) | 1 year ago | I don't trust the current pope. He looks way too much like Darth Sidious. Apart from that though, I don't think that there is a big problem with the pope in general. The church is a huge organisation, someone has to be the leader that keeps everyone working towards a common goal. I'm not sure what the goal in question is but ask someone that follows the religion in question. It's probably something about making the world a better place or converting lots of people or something.

| etnad0 (78) | 1 year ago | wow, he does look like Sidious. lol. i never noticed that. i don't believe the Pope is working toward any revolutionary goal. its all a show, almost every aspect of what he does is AGAINST Biblical laws. he can't forgive sins, only Christ can.

6. Balozi (168) | 1 year ago | I dont know what God will say. But the pope is a rep of the pagan pontifex maximus who was the high priest of the ancient Roman college of pontiffs. He cant be a rep of Christ. The bishops of the R/catholic negate ITim 3:2-5. The apostle Peter was a married man, Mark 1:30, yet the pontiff is alleged to be his successor. LIES + LIES. .

8. Kemboi (292) | 1 year ago | The Roman Catholic Church teaches that he is the visible head of the Church on earth, the Vicar (or substitutes) of Christ. "In virtue of his office, that is a vicar of Christ, as Pastor of the whole Church, the Roman Pontiff has full, supreme and universal power over the church." ( Constitution of the Church, Vatican Council 11). The Roman Catholic Church proclaims the INFALLIBILITY OF THE POPE (proclaimed as late as 1870) when he speaks "ex-cathedra," that is from his papal throne on questions of faith and morals. Of course, this is contrary to scripture. John 14:25-26 teaches that the Holy Spirit, not a man, is the vicar or representative of Christ on earth. ( see also John 16:13-14) Matthew 23:9 "Call no man your (spiritual) father on earth for one is your Father, which is in Heaven."

| etnad0 (78) | 1 year ago | 1000% true. i'm glad you pointed that out using scripture. when it comes down to it, as a Catholic, one must either accept what the Bible says, or accept what the Pope says. if one contridicts the other, they have to decide if they are going to risk their soul by putting a man's opinion above the word of God.

9. elmiko (1848) | 1 year ago | Sometime it does worry me how much people look up to the Pope when God should be the issue. No, I don't believe the Pope represents Christ on earth. The Pope is a very good person and he has said he did not like the spotlight so its not like he craves the attention its just hes got responsibility. I really do admire the Pope for the quotes he has made.

10. positiveminded1977 (4517) | 1 year ago | How do I feel about the way some Catholics almost worship the Pope? I feel amused and disgusted. They don't exactly worship him; but they revere him as much or slightly more than they revere God. Frankly, I think Catholics have forgotten there is something called God thanks to their large crowds of saints and so called "holy clergy." No, I don't think the Pope represents Christ on Earth. About what God would say? I don't know. I think He would maintain His habitual silence.
Cheers and happy mylotting
