B-Man Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 MSNBC: Holy Crap, that Pope guy is a Catholic FTA: Having said that, it was a pleasure to see Pope Francis address the inherent and intractable evil of “homosexual marriage” head on. Via MSNBC: In a reference critical to gay marriage, Pope Francis on Friday warned against an ideological colonization of the family, during his five-day visit to the Philippines, Asia’s most Catholic country. At a rally for families in the country’s capital of Manila, the popular pontiff spoke of an “ideological colonization that we have to be careful about that is trying to destroy the family,” the pope said through a translator. Many people understood his remarks as a reference to same-sex marriage. “The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life,” Francis said at a Mass in Manila. “These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation.” He also praised strongly Pope Paul VI’s controversial 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae, or On Human Life. “He had the strength to defend openness to life at a time when many people were worried about population growth,” Francis said of the former pope. It looks as though MSNBC is suprised the Pope is Catholic {snip} Pope Francis will always be a Jesuit from South America. In that regards, he is going to speak to the economic conditions that he is familiar with. Poverty in Latin America does not include a flat screen television, an ObamaPhone and a car. I’m equally sure his statement on global warming, due for release this summer, is going to be chock-full of left-wing, pseudo-science. Fortunately, these are not matters of Faith and Morals and while I am obligated to give him a fair hearing, I am under no obligation to believe or act on them. What is important is that Pope is not caving on key issues that define what it means to be a Catholic Christian. http://www.redstate.com/2015/01/24/msnbc-holy-crap-pope-guy-catholic/
DC Tom Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Is the Pope advocating legal change? Does he have a pen and a phone?

Also, I predict that the American Left is in for a surprise. .
IDBillzFan Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Gee, I hope that the Speaker asked for permission first....... Also, I predict that the American Left is in for a surprise. Maybe Barry can make time to meet with the Pope to further discuss the good book's reference to throwing stones in glass houses.
Nanker Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Well, it'll give B. O. a chance to go upside the Pope's head about Jim Crow, slavery, and those nasty Crusades and Inquisition! It's about time the Pope got called out for that shi t. It's made all the world's moslems get jiggy with retribution. Christ, everybody know that.

LeviF Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Morons. Why don't they breathe it into their pancreas, like normal people? Because usually they're butt-chugging it, like the other normal people.
