My thoughts exactly when I read that post about chopping off heads being the example of "extremism".

Catholics do not pray to saints.

I think you may misunderstand about works of the law, ceremonial works, faith without works...etc.

By the way I think basic Christian doctrine is Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. I think the pope gets that. Do You?
I knew it was only a matter of time until one of the extreme funamentalists called Pope Francis an anti-Christ.

The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Thus saith the Lord Peacegiver Almighty? You really think you have power and authority to condemn any person? There is a biblical word for such a one.

All of this has been explain to you before. You sound like a broken record that is stuck in the same groove. Why do you repeat mindless inaccurate statements like a parrot? Do you actually think you have it right and everyone else is wrong?

Chapter and verse if you please...

On a side note, just how do you or anyone know how righetous the Pop is? Do they have a Righteousosity meter of some kind that measures righteousness?

How righteous was the thief on the cross??

I have a feeling that some posters here would completely disagree.


Lol, despite the fact that this pope missed an opportunity to have a Mother Teresa at the Prayer Breakfast moment, what I know is that you haven't read the pope's encyclical in its entirety.

The Pope is at least real, Mother Theresa was a cold hearted fraud, that sucked in the world in believing she was the epitome of good.

Full authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. No one knows the son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the son and whoever the son will reveal Him.

Whoever hears my word and does not keep it I am not the one to condemn him for I did not come to condemn the world but to save it.
Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my words he already has his judge namely the words I have spoken that's what will condemn him on the last day.

Funny how your anti-christ is also the head of the organization that you can thank for your Bible. If the pope is corrupt, the organization is corrupt, and the Bible you read is a pile of worthless paper. But I'm sure you knew that.

Until he turns on the organization he represents, and tells them to use to its billions to feed the poor, he will never get my attention....... no matter how cool he may appear to you. As far as I am concerned he's said nothing inspirational OR given faith and hope to a world that seeks to and fro for the knowledge of the truth that sets them free.
