Yes Jesus called the Cardinal Ratizinger to be the Pope and changed his name to Pope Benedict XV1 , after the order of St. Benedict to come to the Church and clean it up like the St. Benedict , and all these child abuse cases proves that he is called to clean it up and God is exposing the error of lack of grace in some people in the church, and cleaning it up even if Pope Benedict likes it or not , and Jesus also called him to evangelize Europe one last time in these last days and apostasy spreads over Europe in these days ......... Jesus did that for his Children , Jesus does not call the lost people to do anything ........

Your'e joking right. Catholics were the first Christians!! Many other Christian groups broke with the Catholic Church for various and valid reasons!

Maybe he is really a Muslim, Jew, or Hindu. One can never tell anymore, apparently since people no longer allow one another to self-identify what their personal faith is. Yes, this is a sarcastic remark.

No joke. What about the apostles that followed Jesus Christ and wrote the New Testament? Wouldn't they be the first Christians? Serious question. No jokes.

I am a Christian. Meaning I follow the teachings of Christ and not of man.

No, you blew the joke. It's "Is the pope catholic?" and "does the bear poop in the woods?".

I don't get it. Why would the Pope not be Christian?

Well, would a servant allow others to exalt him and call him "father", when the glory should go to the only Father? Has he considered that the first will be the last? Has he really taken the attitude of Christ (as we should) to make himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant (Phi 2:7)...and have your ring kissed !??

Mathew 23:9 - ...And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.

I just don't get it.
