JC;
are you serious to claim that a Catholic thinks the Pope is the head of the Church? Do you think either this pope, or the previous pope, would claim that they led the church and not Jesus? Have you read anything by either of these people? Do you read or announce anything that popes or Catholics claim, and not try to distort it to make it look unbiblical and foolish? Because if you do, that isnt an honest way to discuss matters.
Do you know what Billy Graham said about John Paul II?
Do you know what Chuck Colson says about Catholics?
The trinity isnt in the bible either. Do you believe in that?

i guess this forum is just going to ignore the topic of this discussion and get on with the 'whose a better Christian' arguments.
RBB are you saying that Catholics arent real Christians now? and that its only in the other denominations after the Reformation that have the spirit of the early Christians?

Why is it that an article by the Pope, astute and relevant, on atheism and relativism, is seen as an occasion to bring up the Cannon of Anti-catholicism?
Yes, there were Crusades, and yes its true there was an inquistion. Dont forget the pedophile priest scandal while your at it.
Should i now go on to list the things that other Christian denominations do and have done, so we can really attack the unity of Christs church? Because there are lots of them.
So, instead of the Pope wise and Christian words occasioning a forum on how to address relativism in the modern world, its an occasion to attack the Catholic Christian faith. Use some of that pent up anger and indignation against the sin in the world, instead of Catholics, the vast vast vast vast vast number of whom i know, are good Christians

like the davini code, this isnt issue isnt about 'censoring history'. this is about sensationalist Hollywood skewering and dumbing down history, for its own melodramtic ends. the davini code wasnt objected to because its opponents wanted to 'hide' history. it was objected to because its creators manufactured an idiotic and anti-Christian version of history to go along with their conspiracy theories of what boogeymen Clergy are. a good way to test the davinci code theory regarding clergy is simply to go meet one. i have met religious all over the world, and if there are a class of people you could term heroic, it is them. of course the media though would rather portray them all as sickos. makes us feel better about ourselves without having to change ourselves i guess.

it doesnt lessen our faith in Jesus as the one Lord and the Triune God, to promote peace with believers of other religions. when we dont support the work of the peacemakers, who Jesus calls blessed, we miss the calling of our religion. we dont need to convince someone else of our religion, to enable us to practice it to them
