RCC explicitly supports evolution.
You absolutely have to be tin' me. The Pope is wanting hard evidence in order to believe something? This is coming from a man that believes in an invisible man that lives on the clouds and can see everyone and know what everyone is thinking all at once. I think I've heard it all now. Thanks for this. My only question is, did he make this statement before or after his daily exorcism?
Here is an oxymoron:
Big Shrimp
Here is another:
Scientific Theologist
You cant be both. Pick one or the other.
Well I would like some "hard evidence" that man is causing
all this global warming. If WE are causing all this stuff,
how come all these damn experts cant even tell me what
the weather is going to do within the next five days.
And they have all these expensive gadgets to help them
tell me.......as you say you have to be " ten me".
And I am sure the folks in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas
would damn sure like to see some this global warming.
Give me a break. A little common sense would help.
So I take it you're the asshole that's been throwing trash on the side of our highways? Since you happen to be so scientifically inclined and have read and understood all the do entation written on this subject, please provide us with your assertion. Please help those of us that haven't read the extensive research that you have understand.
he listens to hush limbuagh. seriously, he agrees with whatever hush says..
Yes, they think we are stupid.Spoken like a true atheist. Christians and their leaders are
all stupid.......
Thing is, many of us have had true spiritual experience. Direct experience is good enough for me.
Over our heads?
Get real and stop being ignorant you athiests. You shouldn't speak about such things you don't have a clue about.

Yeah, I go around throwing stuff out all the time. People
like you have to have a job.
And pray tell what do entation exist that says man
has created all this "great" global warming. And may I
ask: what is the normal temperature for earth?
Nope, my fine friend, I see you do the same as most of
your group, just call someone who doubts a bunch of
names and accuse them of being ignorant when it is
you who don't want to know what the real truth is.
The real truth of the matter is what I posted. Tax the
out of the rich countries, lllooooo, Uncle Sugar,
and give it to the "poor" of the world. Socialism.
Want to know where the communist all went to. Check
the environmentalist. They have a new home and
religion.
Pretty stupid statement.
Congrats.
I take Benedict pretty seriously as a theologian and an author, but not so seriously as an e enical diplomat to Protestants.
That is because he is an accomplished theologian and author, but does not even try to be an e enical diplomat to Protestants.
My statement is based on a couple highly plausible assumptions, and I dare you to seriously challenge me that either of them are not HIGHLY PLAUSIBLE:
1) Most people who consider themselves christians (especially in the u.s.) are hypocrites, and not true hardcore religious people, and are susceptible to focusing on superficialities like the way a person looks
2) Most people who exist in this world that glance at this man's face and try their best to ignore his Pope Garb will admit his face looks evil.
Drop your christian goggles for one second
the guy looks very sinister, if you saw him walking down the street in jeans and a Sooner tshirt you would think he was a pedophile
As I said, stupid statement.
Thanks for expanding and confirming how stupid it was to begin with.
What the POPE really needs is a image make-over...
Film-maker Zeffirelli vows to help Pope with image
YahooROME (Reuters) - Italian film and opera director Franco Zeffirelli is offering his services to Pope Benedict as an image consultant, saying the German pontiff comes across as cold and needs to review his wardrobe.
Zeffirelli, acclaimed for movies such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Jesus of Nazareth," said in an interview with la Stampa daily on Saturday the 80-year-old pope did not have "a happy image."
"Coming after a media-savvy pope like John Paul II is a difficult task ... Benedict XVI still communicates coldly, in a way that is not suited with what is happening around him," Zeffirelli said.
"It's an issue I have been discussing with people who have key roles in the Vatican," said Zeffirelli, who has directed some Vatican television events.
"The Pope does not smile much, but he is an intellectual. He has a very rigid Bavarian structure," he said.
Zeffirelli, 84, added that papal robes were "too sumptuous and flashy." "What is needed is the simplicity and sobriety seen in the other echelons of the Church," he said.
Zeffirelli said he was in regular contact with the Pope's closest aides and had also made proposals to "defend the image of faith in cinema, the image of the sacred."
"The Holy See intends to pay a lot more attention to this," he said.
He said today's religious films were "a horror that the Holy See does not know how to stop.
"I am a Christian down to the depths of my spirit. I can't stand by while this disaster unfolds. I am available to put myself at the service of the Church," he said.
"If they officially give me a supervisory role, I will do it full-time."
The Vatican was not immediately available for comment.
Hey, I know, sell some of those precious works of art you have lying around in the Vatican basement and give the money to stop the genocides in Africa and other places....nah, that's a reach....
As i've said, youre an argentinian that is pro globalization and has no real grasp of what the is going on in my country
I see more americans when I go to the convenience store to buy blunts than you do in an entire year. I know I'm invading your precious christian bubble of protection but if you wanna drop the pretense and debate a few posts in a logical manner then explain to me how my two statements aren't highly plausible, senor smeagol.
ROFL
after i posted my last reply last night I actually looked up if others agree on the web he looks evil and the first thing that popped up was that article saying how the pope does not have a "Happy image"
rofl
Just for laughs
YIKES! this one isn't even photoshopped
Look at the statement I quoted on post #35. That is what I was refering as moronic (I know you are known to come up with many moroninc statment in one post, but this time I quoted and exopanded on only one).
You said "there is no possible way anyone outside of hardcore catholics will take this pope seriously"
which is obviously a stupid statement, any way you analize it.
Then you talk about stuff Americans do. This is is totally irrelevant given that no more than 6% of the world's catholics live in the US.
Actually, your statement speaks pretty poorly about Americans as a whole, if they can't get past looks when judging good and bad.
Next question, dumfvck?
Benedict's priorities lie primarily in places where the Star Wars trilogy is not a very big deal.
But show those folks a picture of Palpatine and I bet they make the connection.
my bad
i clarified by saying i meant in americaYou said "there is no possible way anyone outside of hardcore catholics will take this pope seriously"
which is obviously a stupid statement, any way you analize it.
Very astute of you mr globalist, that was the point.Then you talk about stuff Americans do. This is is totally irrelevant given that no more than 6% of the world's catholics live in the US.

Not on the post where I extracted my original quote from, you didn't.
Here it is, in case you forgot it:
No mention to America (not on this post, not on the next one . . . on your third post of this thread there is a mention of Americans, which is irrelevant when talking about Catholics and makes you look that much more ignorant on the subject)
So your point is Americans are stupid, Mr Islationist?Very astute of you mr globalist, that was the point.
Ok
I was simply trying to point out that if people have not accepted the fact that casual american catholics and casual catholics with an american state of mind will never take this pope seriously(at least relative to John Paul II), they should do so.Not on the post where I extracted my original quote from, you didn't.

Ok
I realize it had nothing to do with the topic of this thread but every picture i see of this guy he reminds me of the prophesied antipope.
Sorrry senor smeagol!
So much for that argument. The Vatican is even going so far as to buy carbon-credits.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/25/wo...hp&oref=slogin
ROME — Pope Benedict XVI reinforced the Vatican’s growing concern with protecting the environment in the traditional midnight Christmas Mass on Tuesday, bemoaning an “ill-treated world” in a homily given to thousands of pilgrims here in the seat of the world’s billion Roman Catholics.
On the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ some 2,000 years ago, Benedict referred to one early father of the church, Gregory of Nyssa, a bishop in what is now Turkey. “What would he say if he could see the state of the world today, through the abuse of energy and its selfish and reckless exploitation?” the pope asked, according to the Vatican’s English translation.
He expanded on the theme briefly by saying that an 11th-century theologian, Anselm of Canterbury, had spoken “in an almost prophetic way” as he “described a vision of what we witness today as a polluted world whose future is at risk.”
In recent months, Benedict has spoken out increasingly about environmental concerns, and the Vatican has even purchased “carbon offsets,” credits on the global market to compensate for carbon dioxide emissions, for the energy consumed in the world’s smallest state, Vatican City.
In his third Christmas Mass since being elected pope in 2005, Benedict also inaugurated the Nativity scene on St. Peter’s Square.
The pope devoted most of his homily to the theme of the difficulty Christ’s earthly parents, Mary and Joseph, had finding lodging in Bethlehem as Mary neared giving birth.
“The time came for Mary to deliver,” the pope said. “And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.
“Those words touch our hearts every time we hear them,” he continued.
Benedict compared that with what he suggested was a lack of room in the hearts of people today to hear the message of Christ’s birth.
“In some ways, mankind is awaiting God, waiting for him to draw near,” he said. “But when the moment comes, there is no room for him. Man is so preoccupied with himself, he has such an urgent need for all the space and all the time for his own things, that nothing remains for others — for his neighbor, for the poor, for God. And the richer men become, the more they fill up all the space by themselves.”
