As an agnostic, I doubt that jimt would have any qualms with your claim about Mr. Akin. In addition, I think he is intelligent enough to form his own opinions.
Any intelligent Catholic would know that both Jimmah Akin and Mark Shea are full of hot air.
Too bad you don’t know it yet.
He pretty much does give “nature” the status of a person or being created by God and equal to such. Very disturbing. I hope this is a translation problem.
You must be kidding...
We were talking about Jimmy Akin...not Mark Shea. Regarding jimt.... I repeat: I think he’s intelligent enough to decide for himself.
He’s speaking the language of the al Gore earth worshipers.
Again, this pope all about populist politics. He is the opposite of Pope John of the Reagan era. I think he sees socialism as the best form of government, so he’s happy to push it.
He’s a product of Argentina. A politician.
Agree. Transcripts are published on the Vatican website. Why bother with the modernist "professional Catholic" spinmeister version of "what the Pope really meant"?
No. Nobody was talking about Jimmy Akin until you brought the goofball up as a reference. I merely countered your Catholic goofball with another Catholic goofball, Mark Shea.
For everyone:
From a letter to the Corinthians by Saint Clement I, Pope
“Who can express the binding power of divine love?
Let the man truly possessed by the love of Christ keep his commandments. Who can express the binding power of divine love? Who can find words for the splendour of its beauty? Beyond all description are the heights to which it lifts us. Love unites us to God; it cancels innumerable sins, has no limits to its endurance, bears everything patiently. Love is neither servile nor arrogant. It does not provoke schisms or form cliques, but always acts in harmony with others. By it all God’s chosen ones have been sanctified; without it, it is impossible to please him. Out of love the Lord took us to himself; because he loved us and it was God’s will, our Lord Jesus Christ gave his life’s blood for us – he gave his body for our body, his soul for our soul.
See then, beloved, what a great and wonderful thing love is, and how inexpressible its perfection. Who are worthy to possess it unless God makes them so? To him therefore we must turn, begging of his mercy that there may be found in us a love free from human partiality and beyond reproach. Every generation from Adam’s time to ours has passed away; but those who by God’s grace were made perfect in love have a dwelling now among the saints, and when at last the kingdom of Christ appears, they will be revealed. Take shelter in your rooms for a little while, says Scripture, until my wrath subsides. Then I will remember the good days, and will raise you from your graves.
Happy are we, beloved, if love enables us to live in harmony and in the observance of God’s commandments, for then it will also gain for us the remission of our sins. Scripture pronounces happy those whose transgressions are pardoned, whose sins are forgiven. Happy the man, it says, to whom the Lord imputes no fault, on whose lips there is no guile. This is the blessing given those whom God has chosen through Jesus Christ our Lord. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
The Environmentalist and Liberation Theology Pope
While thousands of Christians are slaughtered by Muslims, Pope Francis debases his office meddling in trivial matters such as the global warming hoax while ignoring the mortal threats growing upon the Church and the World.
Tens of thousands of Christians have been tortured and slaughtered and Catholic churches set on fire in Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Egypt and all around the Muslim world, while the Pope keeps repeating the mantra that Islam is a religion of peace.
Christians have been thrown out from the Middle East, the cradles of Christianity.
The Islamization of Europe and in American schools.
Millions of babies are being murdered in their mother’s wombs by abortion.
Islamic state, ISIS, promising to march into Rome and use St. Peter’s as a stable.
Millions of Christians in Africa are sold as sex slaves in Muslims countries.
In United States freedom of religion is curtailed for Christians and Jews, while Islam is promoted and Muslims are given preferential status by the Obama regime. Obama refers to the Bible as “the good book” while he always calls the Koran as “the holy Koran”.
Catholics in United States are forced to betray their faith and religious principles due to Obamacare mandates.
Pope Francis gave his support to the Marxist liberation theology, a corruption of the Gospels proscribed by H.H. John Paul II and H.H. Benedict XVI.
Pope Francis gave “moral” cover to Obama’s betrayal of the Cuban people deceiving the American taxpayers to assume the burden of keeping afloat the genocidal Stalinist regime that have kept enslaved for over half a century the Cuban people while remaining a threat to the security of United States.
