If by some strange turn of events you are officially elected as the Catholic Pope next time they need a new one, what will you do with the authority that gives you?

Why the non-biblical practice of dressing this guy up like he is a King and acting like he is invincible?
This was aimed at the guy who was hating on “Non-Catholic Christians”
Meg…most Protestants I know are not “Bible only”
I agree Uncle Joe, but to assume all Protestants subscribe to Sola Scriptura is just as ignorant…

who wants to know about Him? the true story on him.
All your statements about him is false. If you keep lying about Him, i’m sure God will have a place for you.
He was raised in a peaceful small town in northern Germany, loved music, a devoted Catholic. He has a brother and both of them became altar boys and then knew they were meant for the priest hood. So they started studying at the early age of 10 for the priest hood; then 2 years later; The Nazi kind of kidnapped them into the army at age 12 and 14. They had no choice to refuse the going into the army; because when Hitler came into Power; you couldn’t say no or you would be killed. They were messengers at the local air base and that way they would be safe. they were MESSENGERS; that is it. after the war; they went back to studying for the priest hood and age 24 and 26 they were ordained priests. Joesph Ratzinger became the youngest Bishop and ArchBishop for his town in Germany. Then Pope John Paul the Second invited him to join him on the workings of the Vatican 2 council; with his great knowledge. later that day he was Ordained Cardinal and Pope John Paul the Second and him were great Friends and was always in touch. When Pope John Paul the Second became sick and didn’t have much time left; Joesph was right by his side to help him and to learn what he needed to know. Then 25 hours after Pope John Paul the Second died; Joesph Became Pope Benedict XVI.
He has his own fan club; kids adore him and come to him like kids coming to Jesus.
He has a great sense of humor; right after he became Pope he told a prayed and said out loud, ” Dear Jesus why did you pick me; when I’m so old and we have many young men to choose from?” that was the funny part and everyone laughed, he laughed.
He loves classical music; Bach, Mozart, every classical piece of music and wants to return that music back into the Catholic Church and bring back every old tradition. You should read his books, so filled with knowledge and wisdom and I use his information as questions to teach you.
He’s just a normal man and will talk with anyone, walks with anyone; sometimes goes to dinner with people.

“…the human body can remain nude and uncovered and preserve intact its splendor and its beauty…Nakedness as such is not to be equated with physical shamelessness…Immodesty is present only when nakedness plays a negative role with regard to the value of the person…The human body is not in itself shameful…Shamelessness (just like shame and modesty) is a function of the interior of a person.”
Karol Cardinal Woytyla (John Paul II), Love and Responsibility, translation by H. T. Willetts, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York: 1981.
As a non-Christian, I completely agree, which is a surprise to me, I can tell you…

Please tell me where it is documented that Catholics worship the Pope. It must be documented somewhere on the internet that Catholics have to worship the Pope. Many of you make that claim. I know you would not lie, because it saids in the Bible not to lie, and you must have seen this documented somewhere for you to know this to be true.

The Holy Father Pope Benedict’s comments – trouble for Christians living in Islamic countries!!!?
I am a Christian living in an Islamic country. I don’t understand why the Pope said what he said but for sure, his statement is proving to be a threat to the lives of many Christians who live as minorities in Muslim countries. No harm will be done to Europeans but what about us? What about our Christian brethren? Our churches will be attacked and so will we.
Another thing, are Europeans / Americans aware of their Christian brethren living in Muslim countries. If we are attacked for our faith…where should we go…should we tell America to help us?
