Yes, the snakes are biting today, but their arguments are quite lame, and far beneath the scripture.

All one needs to do is set their eyes upon the One who is high and lifted up, and the bites have no effect.

That does not change the fact that there has been a “physical” breathing Pope ever since Peter for thousands of years” and Peter was the first Pope.

That is *not* a fact. That is a myth. Facts are proven on evidence.

Indeed, but they wouldn’t know evidence if it slapped them in the face.

As is the inevitability when one allows traditions of men to subvert the reliability of the evidence.

A Lutheran told me yesterday: “The Pope is the spiritual leader of all Christians.” It appears that only American snake handlers disagree.

That was a completely uncalled-for ethno-cultural slur worthy of the most radical homosexual. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Do you really think you are winning friends with such rhetoric? Perhaps from the Left, but not from the American Heartland.

That Lutheran has it correct, remember, the Pope is the most visible CHRISTIAN.

Trying to comment on specific excerpts made by one Cardinal of the Church without reference to the whole of his thesis is problematical.

That's why I provided the link to the whole of his thesis. It's only problematical if you refuse to click on it.

Speaking of links, it might make for a more informative read from BXVI’s Iesus Dominus, formerly Cardinal Ratzinger, who has been described as a theological Einstein.
