[100%duncan]

I know most of you aren't Catholics or Christians and believe that there is no God but what do you think of Pope Francis?

Executive molester

Executive molester
:lol

Seems like a decent dude overall. Feels like he's trying too hard sometimes though.

[DJR210]

So what happened to Benedict? Shortest run as Pope I can remember..

[100%duncan]

So what happened to Benedict? Shortest run as Pope I can remember..
Had to retire, he could barely speak.

[m>s]

Don't like the dude I get the feeling he's a bad guy

[100%duncan]

Don't like the dude I get the feeling he's a bad guy

How so brah?

[cantthinkofanything]

shit...I just spent 15 minutes looking at 60 photos to blow my mind and the top 7 parenting fails.

But anyway, this pope does seem like a pretty good dude. Can't remember ever thinking that about any of the other popes that I've seen.

[RD2191]

Number 4 is just plain retarded. The Bible is clearly against homosexuality. Don't know why most so called Christians try to keep spinning that shit.

[GoodOdor]

I haven't heard of him protecting pedophiles like the previous guy yet, so I guess he's allright....

[Blake]

Lol he believes in the devil. It's embarrassing to the more "modern" catholics

[xmas1997]

Walking the talk.
More than I can say for 2/3s of the posters on this site.

[apalisoc_9]

Lol at gay acceptance..

What does the bibble say about gays again?

Lol at Muslims and Christians having the same God..

Seems like this fag is just trying too hard to please everyone

[Slomo]

...

Lol at Muslims and Christians having the same God..




They do.

[ploto]

Lol he believes in the devil. It's embarrassing to the more "modern" catholics

I am sure they appreciate you speaking on their behalf.

[xmas1997]

I am sure they appreciate you speaking on their behalf.

As if he knows the man personally, right?

[Blake]

I am sure they appreciate you speaking on their behalf.

I'm not. I'm going by actual quotes from actual catholics.

I'm sure you can google these quotes easily enough, but if you really want me to find some quotes, let me know.

[Blake]

As if he knows the man personally, right?

More reading comprehension fail. It's horribly bad, tbh. You really need to work on it.

[xmas1997]

More reading comprehension fail. It's horribly bad, tbh. You really need to work on it.

Then you don't know the man?

[Blake]

I wasn't referring to the man.

[xmas1997]

I wasn't referring to the man.

Then who were you referring to pray tell?
I don't believe in the devil either by the way.
Are you going to be snarky about that too?

[Blake]

Then who were you referring to pray tell?

Do you know what a plural pronoun is?



I don't believe in the devil either by the way.

Pope Francis does. Google "pope Francis devil" and you'll pull up more quotes than anyone needs.

[Ginobilly]

do you'll know what the "devil" means to actual people who understand theology?
It's not a supernatural being or anything of that nature.
It's something that is inherent in all of us. You understand what the "fall" is right(we lost a higher from conciousness when our parents first sinned in the garden) After that everybody knew right from wrong, evil and goodness. We both represent "god" and the "devil" We are part of him, but we are not him(god). It's like we live on the skin of a higher being/system and the earth universe is just like a single cell that make up it's skin. The "system" being or god gives us the molecules to sustain us. It's confusing to understand and you really can't explain it in words( Try some salvia or lsd and it will open up your mind of what we are). Going to "heaven" means going back to the single conciousness as one. Meaning we are trully awake and in one with God. Life here on earth is a test. I think there is more to life and reality in general than just being stuck here in this dimension. Every could be like Francis or like Jesus. You just gotta have good habits and good discipline. Once I found out this truth, I relaxed, smiled and just set out to live a good moral life.

[Blake]

Lol "people who understand theology"

There are plenty of people who understand theology that believe the devil is a supernatural being..

Pope Francis being one of them.

[Ginobilly]

Number 4 is just plain retarded. The Bible is clearly against homosexuality. Don't know why most so called Christians try to keep spinning that shit.

Yes it's clearly against homosexuality and it is a sin. But do you know what causes it? It's not genetic. It's caused due to bad parenting (fathers rejecting/neglecting their sons, mothers rejecting their daughters). It's a psychological developmental disorder that can also be caused by child abuse/rape and conditioning(media,porno,etc).

Pope Francis means by that quote that it's not Christian like to ridicule people who are mentally diseased. Instead of scaring them by telling them, " you are going to hell phag!" People should be helping them by educating them why they have homosexual desires,so they could stop a behavior that is harmful to the body. I've known people(both men and women) who have come out of that lie called the gay lifestyle and embraced a hetero relationship. People who know the truth about it, use it to mind fuck other more naive people.

Free will, we all have impulses. If you willingly choose to act upon them then that is a personal choice and a sin.

ignorance + arrogance = lol

[Ginobilly]

Lol "people who understand theology"

There are plenty of people who understand theology that believe the devil is a supernatural being.

Then they are not real theologians or are just leading people astray. Just because you might know the truth or part of the truth of reality doesn't mean you are going to use to help people understand themselves or others. There's a lot of evil greedy fuckers who just care about themselves. Look at priest, pastors( I'll even say judges, cops,etc). They are supposed to be the Jedi's of this world and protect all people against evil. But what to they do? Instead of protecting the weak(children) and innocent, they rape them! And for that, they will get judged more harshly that us little people. The children depend on us to guide them to what is right. Once we become corrupted, who is going to help the kids?

[Ginobilly]

ignorance + arrogance = lol

nope. Do more research and stop relying on APA shit cause it's run by homosexuals. The truth hurts blake to a lot of people, so it's easier just to bury it and say I was born that way.

So you choose to be straight?

[gameFACE]

What does the Pope think of the his fellow countryman's Church of Manu?

[Ginobilly]

So you choose to be straight?

what do you mean by "straight"? What if you are crooked? Do you choose to be crooked?

The dynamics of who you are attracted to our very complicated. Family dynamics play a major role. The way your father and brothers treat you play a major role. The way your male peers in grade school, plays a role. genetic predispositions(fat, short, asthma,etc)plays a role also. Childhood sexual abuse plays a role. Exposure to pornography plays a role. Like I said, do more research, read both sides of the argument and decide for yourself.

who you end up sleeping with is a choice. The only one who can't choose is a child because he hasn't really reached the age of reason(once you reach this age, your fair game for judgement). A child doesn't understand the true meaning of sex/coitus: which is for procreation and for bonding with the opposite sex. Did you know that the foreskin and glans rubs and communicates with the vaginal walls. A dick cannot communicate with the anus. All that it is doing is stimulating your prostate. It ruins your tiago sphincter, gives you aids, gay bowel syndrome, pathogens traveling to your mouth(from your ass) to your stomach,etc. Everybody at the end has to decide and is responsible(except for children) for their sins. Everybody knows right from wrong at a certain age. Nos asemos los pendejos and choose ignore it at times.

He knows as much as everybody else who know the truth. He is in a high position to guide people towards good. If he fails, he will get judged more harshly due to his position and influence Truth is, it's not rocket science to be holy and good. You just gotta practice good habits and have good discipline. Leave your carnal and monetary desires behind and decide to do good. Anybody can be like Francis of Assisi or pope Francis.

[xmas1997]

Lol "people who understand theology"

Pope Francis being one of them.

And you know him well enough to know this?
Are you on a first name basis?

He said he has already talked with the man above to get Manu finals MVP.

I'm a Catholic and I believe in the power above us. I think Pope Francis is one cool dude and is becoming one of the most loved Popes of all time even if he's only had around 2 years yet being one.

As far as popes go, he definitely deems more down to earth and more accessible than the previous few popes before him back to JP2.

How can you include genetic predispositions in an argument against genetic predispositions?

And what about animals who exhibit homosexual behaviors in nature? Do you believe they are also products of those same influences? And do you believe they have the same capacity as humans to make that choice?

[Blake]

And what about animals who exhibit homosexual behaviors in nature?

They were obviously exposed to porn

[xmas1997]

Either you are mellowing out some or you have decided not to troll so much because a lot of your recent opinions make good sense.
Bravo!

[100%duncan]

The previous Pope before him was the Pope after John Paul the Second, which was Benedict the 16th who was forced to retire because he couldn't preside a mass anymore due to his health. I agree Pope Francis is a "down to earth" individual and also being perceived as more approachable because of his activities in 2013.

[cantthinkofanything]

Lol at "tiago sphincter" tho

Yah, I have no idea why I was thinking there was a pope before Benedict/after JP

[spurraider21]

Nope. I know his job title

[xmas1997]

Nope. I know his job title

That doesn't tell any of us anything of relevance except that he is the titular head of the Catholic faith.
Beyond that, it is all conjecture on your part, because the real truth is, you do not know, you just "think" you know.

[xmas1997]

Well at least the Catholic Church has dropped the concept of 'Liberation Theology'.

[xmas1997]

He's been quoted saying it numerous times.

You're a fucking idiot.


No, never once has he said this in the manner you are saying.
And you could have left the "invective" accusation out of this discussion so that your "opinion" would have had greater weight and credibility, but since you didn't, it just made you look like a childish immature fool.



Nope. I know his job title

This has no bearing on the question whatsoever and is not a valid reason for anything.
Come with a valid argument or just stfu.
Your reasoning fails! Why? It lacks the "reasoning" part.

It's not my opinion. I'm literally quoting Pope Francis.

I'm calling you a fucking idiot because you're a fucking idiot.


However, Francis’s teachings on the devil appear to be more in line with Paul VI’s old-school interpretations of Satan."Some of you might argue: ‘Father, how old fashioned you are to speak about the devil in the 21st century," Francis recently said during a Mass at his Santa Marta residence. "But the devil is present! The devil is here... we mustn’t be naive."

I saw and read your stupid quote and it was about exorcisms, not a "belief in the devil", moron.
Show me a quote where Pope Francis says he specifically "believes in the devil" and I will change my opinion.
Otherwise he appears to exorcise a "condition", that "others" correctly or incorrectly attribute to an "entity" known as satan, which is "different" than saying he believes in the devil.
You cannot "twist" things to "infer" something just because you "think" it does.
And you talk about reading comprehension. Get real.

[xmas1997]

Still searching I see.

What part of him directly saying "the devil is present!" do you not understand?

Now you're twisting his words, guessing what he means after he literally stated "the devil is here!"

Yes, I talk about your reading comprehension. It blows.
