You are now arguing the fallacy of where there is smoke, there is fire, even though after 30 years, you are still searching for that fire.

Some of the negative comments here about the Pope make me quite sure that if Jesus Himself came back to earth these "good" Christians and/or Conservatives would find faults and things about him to pick apart.

I think the man is a tool to be honest. What's even funnier is the Left embracing religion and cheering that it is being mixed with politics.

lmao..You guys are bending over backwards trying to pat this moron pope on his back while he mixes religion and politics. It's plain as day for all to see. Anyway, you have to be religious to have morals? That explains why so many on the left don't have any.

Do you forget who invited the Pope to speak in Congress? It wasn't a Democrat so if anyone is mixing politics with religion, blame John Boehner. And I am not cheering the Pope or embracing his religion. I just hate the hypocrisy of some people on the right who claim moral superiority to those of us on the left being so critical of a global, moral leader just because he considers environmental issues to be a moral issue. No one is going to agree 100% with the doctrines of a church they don't attend but at least you can show some respect.

This is why I am voting for John Kasich, he is a man with sound conservative principles, but has consistently acknowledged that our system still leaves people behind and that they need to be helped.
I agree we (the USA system) needs to do a better job but that includes school systems, teaching right ethics, treatment of drug and alcohol addictions, mental health programs...but this message is for both GOP and Dems.
