Could It Be...that Somehow...we've Got A Pope That 'gets It'???

[sp1814]

Do you welcome Pope Frank's comments, or..or...seriously - what the hell is going on?

Conservatives introducing same sex marriage and now the Pope reigning back on all the hellfire rhetoric!

Who the hell is left for us leftie liberals to hate (apart from the Westboro Baptist Church).

AOG

I think you meant to ask 'Has it every occurred to you...'

Conservatives are not lefty liberals.

The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, and the stance that the Church takes on homosexuality is very conservative.

And this makes no sense:

"it is not compulsory to toe the gay lobby line you know, regardless of one's politics."

Who said it was?

Who is this 'gay lobby'?

Do you mean 'people who are easy-going and inclusive'?

That'll be me then sp - AOG is constantly telling me I am too liberal!

call me a cynic, but wasn't one the popes from years ago, who 'got it' and wanted to be in the 20th century, suddenly pass on?

// To be a 'RIGHT-WING BIGOT, it's embedded inthe DNA that you have to hav an in-built sense of moral superority, //

I don't usually pick up on people's typos andy, but you've said RIGHT, when you clearly meant LEFT.

ludwig - I am the first to admit that there are occasions when I make typos, when my brain is working faster than my typing skills - but this was not one of them!

so people don't waver on their views, your DNA tells you who you are not your political, religious, life views.

which often change, the hot headed leftie of one's youth can turn into the rather prim, right wing conservative as one gets older, same in any aspect of one's life, there are many changes, what i thought as a teen isn't necessarily how i think now, it's called growing up and getting some life experiences.
