It must be terribly frustrating to be sitting around uor living room with few responsibilities, thumbing through your oft read but scarcely understood Bible but entirely convinced of your own utter and self-appointed infallibility, holding as you do, one set of nuances among the many thousands of sets that collectively are referenced as Protestantism, and not be able to boss the Pope around.

I mean, you must be convinced based upon your own broad experience and high achievements compared to his that you know better than he does. You will forgive Catholics for begging to differ.

That's "your" not "uor."

"I mean, you must be convinced based on your own broad experience and high achievements compared to his [the Pope] that you know better than he does."

With all due respect to both you and the Pope, even he realizes he is no more a mortal man than are you and I. Unless you see it differently?

Furthermore, you sir/madam, must be reminded of the outrage of Christ, who overturned the money-changers table at the sight of any mockery within the bounds of His Church.

Once again, pure and simple -- the Pope -- IF he is to emulate our Lord regarding the outrageously heinous sins against His children, should be making an UNEQUIVACAL statement to the effect ALL members of Catholic Clergy who have participated in such abuse (under the guise of serving the Lord) of HIS children, MUST be expelled from the Church.

Tell us -- do you you have a problem with this decree?
