Well, they did such a good job of stopping Hitler, and such a good job of protecting altar boys, that I think we should be grateful that they care so much.

/sarcasm

I vigorously disagree with what the Holy Father is doing here, too, but you can take your anti-Catholicism and stuff it you know where.

You don't have to be sarcastic and I'm Catholic. This is way beyond where the Church should be going. I think this Pope is being used but if not then he is injecting his personal opinion but using his Church standing as authority for that opinion. That is not correct for only when speaking "ex cathedra" is he deemed infallible and that is not the case here but many anti-American forces may use this to reinforce their cause. This may further damage the Church in America if that is even possible now.

The Pope needs to read this in the book of Romans.

13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 13:4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."

Hello! God ordains righteous government to "execute wrath" on evil doers.

The Apostle Paul had to correct the doctrine of the "First Pope" (See Galatians Chapter 2), and I see this is needed again.

Bush deserves this embarrassing specticle if he doesn't end this soap opera now.

BTW shouldn't the seper. of church and state work both ways? Just what does he think he's doing? The church ought to butt out. They have enough problems of their own.

The Pope may also be interested in reading the story of the Levi and his wife in Judges Chapters 19+20. His wife was raped and murdered by evil men in a city controlled by the Tribe of Benjamin. Because they did not want to turn in the evil men, the judgement of God was upon them and a lot of them were killed. Also, because the tribe from Jabesh Gilead did not partitpate in this judgement, they also were killed.

Moral of the story: THOSE WHO TOLERATE EVIL AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT WILL BE JUDGED!

Reading our Bishop's writing on this in Today's Catholic this week,it could have been edited by any number of isolationists with blinders on circa 1935-1939,including that great Catholic statesman, old Joe Kennedy.I don't know whether to be mad,scared or what,but my Church is wrong here.

The Pope again. Anyone need any more proof that this is a malign force?

This protestant thinks in the spirit of comity perhaps one should lay off.

Maybe while he's there he can tell the UN what he's going to do about the sexual crimes committed by "priests" in his "Church" during his tenure. Or, maybe that's the connection -- boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press.

Well John Paul, do you call what is currently being done to the Iraqi people "peace"?

If you do, well peace be with you too...

Get stuffed.

This Pope was a warrior against Communism, even took a bullet in that fight. You have got NO RIGHT to disrespect a man who's done so much good.

What effect will this have on Catholic soldiers?

American Catholic soldiers will "render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's".

The Pope has a right and a duty to preach Peace. American Catholic soldiers have a right and a duty to wage a just war.

..at heart he's anti American and has demonstrated that time and time again...

Time and again, eh? Give us four or five examples, then.
