Are they beautifying that educator?

Wouldn't this be more of a biblical ceremony for the Pope's body?


Matthew 18:6 (King James Version)
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Pope John Paul might be in hell!!!

Do you always speak without knowing facts? Or has the chuch deluded you to the point of no return?

Nope, that's the definition in every dictionary. All religions have always been cults. It's just that the popular/larger ones are accepted while the newer/small ones like the Branch Davidians are considered cults.

Great, maybe they can do something useful with him like turn him into a candelabra or something. Then he'd be the first pope in a long time thats actually done something good for humanity.

Actually, that is exactly what Nero did to the early Christians. He had them rolled into carpets and when he walked to the coliseum they lit them so he could see his way plus hear the screams of the Christians being burned alive. See you are not the first one to think of that.

Religion drives people to do very strange things, accept the existence of ridiculous rituals and apologize for vile acts.

Atheist Russia did horrible things when religions were taken away. I would not blame everything on religion.

Russians didn't do that in the name of "atheism", that was Stalinism..Religions do their horrible deeds in the name of their religion no matter the country or political ideology. Big difference.
