And whatever the Vatican may not know will not be reliably or accurately supplied by the impudent and impertinent likes of Ms. Hill.

Yes, Yes, To the extent of his competence and ability and knowledge, Not particularly and he has many obligations other than pleasing the likes of you who are not in charge of judging him, Yes, Sounds likely to me, and You bet he is.
You are more of a bondservant to your own pride.
When RCs need your advice or YOPIOS we will be sure to ask. Don't hold your breath in the meantime. Now, back to the fever swamp....

I hope that is the end result of Ms. Hill's outburst.Never heard of her before today....I'm sure I'm not the only one..
To: Pyro7480
I really haven't the slightest idea who she is - I was only opinionating on the comments she made.

Lauren Hill has basically said in the past that she hates whites. She's just a racist b***h has-been. Urban legend alert! http://www.snopes.com/quotes/lauryn.htm

OK. I think I have read that St. Catherine of Siena had the power of levitation. If she had been alive and at the concert (why do I think she would have stayed away?), Lauryn Hill might have changed her mind while suspended in midair a few hundred feet over the Vatican. The image brings to mind the classic and powerful Jonathan Edwards sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
Well, she might not have been quite that angry.
Catherine probably would have just scolded her in a private note.
To: Pyro7480
she had the gall to criticize the Vatican at an event that she was invited to by them, and she has had illegitimate children, plus probably has been involved in other immoral activity in her life.
When you point one finger, four point back at you. What about the Chuch folks who invited/hired this woman with b@stard children, giving her a mike and a stage?
To: sinkspur
Rudeness is rudeness, and Hill's rant will draw sympathy for the Church, not for her views.
Seems to be a split decision here.
To: lelio
It's rude behavior. Even though I am not a fan of Democrats or Bill Clinton, if he had invited me out to accept an award from him at the White House, I would either go and politely accept the award, or if I couldn't stand him that much, I would decline his invitation, and politely state why.
It's rude behavior, regardless of how valid one's claims are, to accept an invitation, and then scream in a shrill manner (which accomplishes nothing BTW, unless you think the Church will now suddenly do whatever you think it needs to do because some pop singer yelled on-stage about it) about how my host sucks and is evil. Just plain rude behavior.
To: Goetz_von_Berlichingen
The Catholic Church is so much better after having excommunicated Archbishop LeFebvre.
LOL!!! I love when the followers of kooks, think they have anythig to say about anything.
It's almost like a Jehovah's Witness commenting on the nature of Christ.
To: incindiary
Lauryn Hill is (at least last I checked) a Bible believing Christian. Before everyone starts attacking her and accusing her of everything from voodoo to being a slut, keep in mind that she is a believer,
And like about 40% of Protestants, she likely has an irrational dislike of Catholics because frankly, Protestantism wouldn't exist unless they were "protesting" Catholicism.
To: mdmathis6
Is there a reason Baptists can't just talk about religion without sounding like it's a sales pitch? "Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart. Won't you let him in TODAY!" Maybe it's the Catholic in me, but I always believed in talking about God and Christ with reverence.

Since FatBoy and Skeletor let the Smoke of Satan into the Roman Church with V-2,OK, help me out. Whom are you referring to? I am not a Catholic.

Actually that quote(knock at the door) comes from Revelations...Christ himself is making the "Sales pitch"..."Behold...I stand at the door and knock, if any man hears my voice and opens the door...I will come to him and sup with him..and he with me!"
Don't blame me for the "sales pitch"....take your complaints up with the Heavenly management!
To: Conservative til I die
I'm sorry, I do not understand why you posted this to me.

"I am not a Catholic." My personal terms for John XXIII and Paul VI who, between the two of them, did more damage to the Roman Catholic Church than the Reformation and the Mongol invasions combined.
The usual name for the travesty that they perpetrated on the Church is Vatican II, being the Pastoral Council (literally) From Hell. I prefer to refer to it as V-2, the standard designation for Hitler's rocket-propelled bomb.

Since FatBoy and Skeletor let the Smoke of Satan into the Roman Church with V-2....LOL.....While I wouldn't agree with the spirit of your remark, I confess your colorful description is fairly amusing.
