***Well, if you found it on the internet, it must be true. Nothing on the internet could be falsi. ***

Oh come on and quit being silly. I saw the first report about the shrine on TV from an alphabet news program a couple of years ago and decided to google it and look at image photos. The images were the same that the news program showed.

Which was more satisfying: voting for Obama the first time, or the second time?

You know that the point about "a street in Rome where the Pope never sets foot" is false, right? It's based on an incorrect translation of Vicus Papissa -- the latter is named for a lady who belonged to the Pape family

Neither the touchy-feely exam.

Christ founded the Catholic Church on the Apostles. They were the first Bishops.

Every church they founded was independent and based on scripture. Paul himself advised others to look to the scripture for guidance not a human authority.

All those monuments were built to protestants. I don’t see a Kennedy “monument” anywhere. FDR, Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Yep all protestant. Can we start calling them idolaters now?

How often does this have to be debunked before you stop beating this dead horse?

What does the Catholic Church have to do with the Bible?

Well you do remember that it was the Catholic Church that preserved it by hand copying it for 1300 years. We wrote the New Testament, and preserved the original canon.

And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Ledts look at the verse in context: Matthew 23:8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students. 9 And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father—the one in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah.

What do you call your biological parent? Did you have teachers in school?

How about Acts 7:2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, where Stephen called Abraham "our Father?How about Pauls commentGalatians 1:14 and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my Fathers.? My personal favorite:1 Corinthians 4:15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

That was a serious question. How long to you intend to keep spreading a documented proven lie? Do you think this puts the anti-Catholic bigotry in a better light?

There was no Pope Joan. Your spreading this lie, by bringing up this "news" is bearing false witness to a lie. Why do you insist on spreading a lie?

The religion didn’t build the shrine, the religion denies this whole myth.

I was asking what kind of people would build that shrine.

Seriously, you really want to play this game?

The myth of Poe Joan has been debunked countless times. Your posting this thread seeks to discredit the Catholic Church use out right lies and innuendos. Spreading these lies under the guise of "news" does your cause no good at all. Also feigning ignorance or naiveté makes you appear foolish. Is that the image you want spread about yourself.

This will be my last post to you on this topic on this thread.

If it was a shrine to “Pope Joan”, then it would have to have been built by people as dumb as the Protestant anti-Catholics here at FR. Think of the irrational comments from Protestant anti-Catholics in this very thread. Think of the ignorance (such as not realizing that all religions have shrines, etc.). Dumb. Ignorant. Protestant anti-Catholics.

Your faith may be irrelevant to your sex but your role in the church certainly isn't. The bible is pretty clear that only men can be pastors and bishops.

Why would you bring the bible into this mess...The bible also says bishops are to have wives and kids...

The Catholic priesthood is not that of Aaron but of Christ. Of the order of Melchizedek, the priest-king of Salem who offered a bloodless sacrifice of bread and wine.

Melchizedek didn't sacrifice anything...It was a celebration...
