Little girl's encounter with Pope a farce - SunsetBengal - 09-25-2015
As told by this article.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/immigration-group-planned-girls-pope-encounter-for-a-year/ar-AAeMQuu?ocid=spartanntp
"We planned to do this from the moment we learned he was coming to the States," Juan Jose Gutierrez of the Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition told The Associated Press. "We have been working for a while now trying to sensitize the American public that dealing with immigration is not just dealing with the people who came in without proper documents but that we also have ... countless children whose parents are undocumented."
Way for the illegals to use Pathos to gain some national media attention..
I say; Nice try, but go back to the beginning of the line, if you want to be a legal citizen with rights.

So do we blame this on religious people, Christians, or just Catholics?

None, just plain political grandstanding. The Pope has no place in American, or any politics for that matter. He should be labeled a hypocrite for lobbying on issues that are of no consequence to the church, and ignoring issues that are of the churches doctrine. Is it any wonder that I quit practicing the religion that I was raised upon?

So you left Mother Church because Republican politics come first? Better hope hellfire isn't literal...

This new pope is really getting under the skin of right-wingers.

I'll just mark Sunset as a "no" for the "would you hide Jews during the Holocaust" thread.

Why should he not be involved in politics? Is he not a head of state? His role is political as well as spiritual.
What issues has he ignored and what has he lobbied on that are not of consequence to the Church?

I did read where the Pope said he could never advocate a Muslim being Head of State for Vatican City.
Bigot

Sometimes I'm afraid you actually think this drivel you type up is clever.

Well as long as you're not getting it; that's assurance that it is.

Yes, your highly refined strawman arguments and non-sequiturs are too sophisticated for me to comprehend.

Hah, the GOP loves religion until religion points out they're wrong on the majority of their issues.

Yep.
They adore the authoritarian nature of religion and the doctrine of faith without evidence. But point out any of Jesus's teachings--which are almost word by word, verse by verse, chapter by chapter completely anti-Republican--and you're just using religion to poison people with your eeeevil progressive socialist communist terrorism.

Haha.....so true. My mom said the same thing to me earlier today. Not in the same exact words, but pretty close. And get this......she is a faithful Christian who is sick of others telling her that she ain't Christian. She is on a warpath on Facebook, lol. She wouldn't even touch a computer or cell phone until 2012.

And liberals who claim Christ would have been a liberal hate Christianity.
And hypocritical liberals/democrats now love the Pope because of his stance on immigration and the global warming farce, but hate him because of his stance on abortion, contraception, divorce, same-sex marriage.

Good for her.
If more actual Christians spoke up you wouldn't have a perversion of the religion.(09-25-2015, 10:56 PM)Blutarsky Wrote: And liberals who claim Christ would have been a liberal hate Christianity.
You know nothing of Christ's teachings.

What exactly is an "actual Christian"?

One who follows Christ's teachings and the new covenant. Not one who follows the ot because it's an easier path.
