Is The Pope A Catholic ?

[Canary42]

Seems in keeping with some of the "questions" appearing on Ab lately.

[Mamyalynne]

There's no shame in having to ask.

And those bears...in the woods?

[LochNessMonster]

Could be !

[Svejk]

Can't say I noticed. Any examples?

[mikey4444]

Only on Sundays Canary !

At least the present Pope's improved stand on homosexuals helps to keep the catholic faith somewhat in line with general Society morality. Unlike some other religions which are steadfast or have returned to their archaic beliefs and thus attracts the most monstrous and barbarous idiots.

Doctrine rather than faith?

Does a fish have a watertight heid?

The duty of the Church is to preach the eternal verities (stated most famously in the Nicene creed), Wildwood. "Keeping the Catholic faith somewhat in line with current morality" (for which I read "keep in with today's moral fads") is a betrayal of that sacred trust.
"Thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church".

Yeah right vetuste_ennemi, shall we go back to the Inquisition days then?

[douglas9401]

I didn't expect that!

[Svejk]

Lol^

At least he can fall back on his restaurant business with the Pope Emeritus ...

Very clever comment, Wildwood. I've taken a copy of it for future reuse.
Do hope Sandy Roe is with me on this.
