Or do you think the Pope did not approve of the film?

A pope that approves of break-dancing might approve of most anything.

It isn't just the insane dancing, if you'll recall a few years ago the pope was in the polynesian islands watching bare-breasted young nubiles dancing for his enjoyment. He approved of that as well.

I believe this pontiff gave Martin Scorsese an audience not too long ago. I wonder if the holy father approved of Martin's Last Temtation of Christ picture?

I don't believe Christ is happy with His Church and how opportunites have been squandered!

Are you saying that break dancing is inherently evil?

Again, there is nothing sinful about the human body. There are naked figures on the ceiling of the Sisteen Chapel. Is that sinful?

The Pope denounced that film publically. I was wondering whether somone wouls bring it up to challenge my assertion that the Pope is not a movie critic. Of course, when the Pope denounced that movie, he made no comment on its quality as a film (I saw it, it is borderline unwatchable). He dissented on the film's incorrect message on the life of Christ.

As for Scorsese's audience, the Pope gives lots of those. And he gives them to all manner of people. He hates the sin and loves the sinner, just like Christ taught him to.

I don't believe Christ is happy with His Church and how opportunites have been squandered!

What would you have done differently, oh Divine Armchair Quarterback?

How do you know? Did he tell you?

As for John Paul meeting with Martin Scorcese, Jesus ate and drank with "sinners" too.

At least, that's what the Pharisees called them.

And you know what Jesus thought of the Pharisees, Jesse.
