Ok... you three try to understand this... I am not one of those Catholic bashers... I was right in here everyday fighting the good fight against hussein and ND. I did not do anything more than ask, “I wonder if he realizes he is talking to one of satan’s favorites? I just don't know about this Pope.”

Now ALL that I did was ask a simple question followed by a small pondering statement... ALL three of you had the opportunity to respond in earnest, but you would rather lump me in with some sicko anti Catholic bigot... which I am not... and you cannot find any bashing of the Church in the tens of thousands of posts that I have made here over the years. I have been accused of bigotry here in this thread and both of you have been eager to join in... so be it. Tell me this... what in that simple question and statement was so abhorrent.. so much a blaspheme that I deserved the treatment that you all have given me? Why? Because I dared to ask a simple question that still puzzles me. I guess two centuries ago you guys would have burned me at the stake... again... how Christian.

You are being a jerk... plain and simple. Shut me up big boy... go ahead and prove to me your Christian credentials. I am in no way looking down on Catholicism... and I respect the Pope... but you do have a problem with understanding the meaning of my post and I have had far too many real life necessities interfere with my time, and that is why I chose to let it pass. You are correct about one thing... I should not have posted to you because the evil in your heart and the chip on your shoulder make it impossible to communicate with you. Some Catholic you are... NOT!

I do not know where to start with your skewed reality and poor cognitive skills... so I just will not.

I made one simple point: no one said the pope is, has been, or will be Jesus.

We are all called to be Christ-like—to emulate Him in our own small and imperfect ways—and “like Jesus” is the term presidio used.

Benedict is a sinner just like the rest of us, as I’m sure he would happily admit.

You are missing the point. I for one am giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you are generally a good person who has some bigoted views. Case in point: You accused me of comparing the Pope to Jesus Christ. In other words, you assume that because I am Catholic, I think the two are comparable. This type of thinking results from the common Anti-Catholic mythologies that Protestants use to attack the Pope and belittle the Catholic Faith. If you said what you said out of ignorance, you are still a bigot. You may think you like and respect Catholics, but your views are just as prejudiced as Sonya Sotomayor's were when she made the "wise woman" comment. You are spreading gross misconceptions, and people like me (who are more educated on this particular subject) see it as our duty to correct you. You "just don't know about this Pope" because you just don't know about any Pope. We don't want your help defending Catholicism. We checked this morning, and the Church is still doing just fine. We just want people like you to sit back and learn when it comes to subjects where you clearly don't know enough to form an opinion.

And, again, if you don't think that Jesus Christ would have sat down with Mr. Obama (or Mr. Hitler for that matter) then you're not a Christian by my definition.
