I'm not Catholic but I don't want any harm to come to the Pope. I haven't noticed the anti-Catholocism that you imply.

Make that "Catholicism".

Croatia's state-run news agency HINA reported Friday that it and a Croatian Catholic news agency had received e-mails threatening to kill Pope John Paul II "in the name of Allah."

I am not Catholic either, and may disagree with many of the Pope's leanings and teachings, but he realy is a cool guy, who deserves a lot of respect. He speaks countless languages, and though he looks to be at Death's door, drags his poor old carcass all over the globe, without a thought to his own comfort or well being. I think he is a saintly man in any sense of the term.

Were the Muslims to kill this now-suffering selfless good old man, it would be the most dangerous and self-destructive thing they could do.

Religion of Peace advocates would be left dumb, with nothing to say. The act would be so indefensible, so revolting, so nauseating to most of civilization, that in many countries it could well spell a Crusade.

Or lynchings. Whatever it takes.

You aren't seeing the same threads I see. In the past 6 months, every time someone posted anything about Vatican announcements about the war in Iraq, some idiot ends up posting some comment about why doesnt the Pope forget about the war and clean up his "pedophiles". Like as if he were personally responsible for the sickminded and depraved who would hurt any child. Believe me, the Catholic haters are out there and using FR.

How about now?

HA! On FreeRepublic? You certainly haven't been reading the posts that are infused with anti-Catholicism, then.

I just turn the other cheek. ;o)
