Based upon the evidence presented by the writer it is a valid conclusion; at least it is certainly plausible. If you are certain is it false simply present exculpatory evidence.

Well, since Catholics aren't interested in *Innocent until proved guilty* for anyone other than their priests, why don't we put forth the claim that the pope is a sodomite and demand that the Catholics prove the claim wrong.

After all, considering Catholic church history and what is known about the behavior of priests and the cover ups by the hierarchy, it certainly is a plausible claim. The pope had to have started as a priest. That would certainly present as much evidence against him as those making the claim about Calvin.

"After all, considering Catholic church history...."

Again, do you know the difference between historical fact and theological truth? If you cannot defend Calvin's alleged "peculiarities" with anything other than lashing out at the Catholic Church you are admitting that there is no exculpatory evidence.

Try addressing each of the charges and footnotes and if you cannot disprove them, at least dissemble them or impeach the sources used by Raves. I am willing to be dissuaded.

That does sound like an easy request so here goes:

One person says they saw something but millions say they saw nothing so the weight of evidence is that nothing occurred.

But a fire years ago burned up the records (sigh).

I agree the fact that most of the Popes were immoral sexuality is certainly at least as provable

Heads Up!!!..if haven't heard...Gaddafi's youngest son dead..and 3 granchildren.

The youngest son of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi was killed in a NATO airstrike on his home Saturday evening, along with three of Gaddafi’s grandchildren, the Libyan government announced Sunday.

“The house of Mr. Saif al-Arab Moammar Gaddafi . . . who is the youngest of the leader’s children, was attacked tonight with full power,” government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said at a news conference. “The leader and his wife were there in the house with other friends and relatives.

He wasn’t harmed; his wife also is in good health.”
