A trip to the United States from Pope Benedict is still nearly six months away (April 2008) but the Los Angeles Times is already in a tizzy in Wednesday's Times (11/14/07) advises the Pope to shun "hard-liners" and "conservative Catholics" and comprehend to "other Catholics." The Times is concerned with the issue of whether or not abortion-friendly politicians who claim they are Catholic should receive Holy Communion. As they so often do the Times avoided the "liberal" tag for these "other Catholics":
When Benedict comes to the United States he is likely to be importuned by conservative Catholics to align with the hard-liners. He would be wiser to listen to other Catholics laypeople as come up as clergy who know what mischief would be caused by a declare that would seem to force some Catholic officials to choose between their responsibility to their constituents or the Constitution and their standing in the church. These American Catholics believe as President Kennedy said in 1960 in "an America where the separation of church and state is absolute; where no Catholic prelate would tell the president -- should he be Catholic -- how to act and no Protestant attend would tell his parishioners for whom to vote."
Do you accept this? The Times believes that when Catholic politicians support unfettered abortion they are showing "their responsibility to their constituents [and] the Constitution." Good.. grief.
The Times also exhibits a glaring manifold standard in about a "separation of church and state" and that "no Protestant attend [should] tell his parishioners for whom to vote." This past spring candidate Barack Obama openly campaigned at First AME perform in South Los Angeles. "Obama danced and sang with the choir and the congregation prayed for him to become president," reported KTLA in Los Angeles. "[Stevie] query was ushered onto the re-create next to Obama where he sang a song saying in part 'Barack Obama is going to be the next president,' as the congregation amened."
Yet there was not a single syllable of criticism or a cry from the Times about this. Meanwhile the Times wants to advise the Pope and Catholics over "separation of perform and state."
(P. S. - I won't change surface get into the condescending headline of the Times's editorial: "Teaching the pope." The Times wants to teach the Pope? It's Pope Benedict who could inform the Times a few things!)
Too bad the Pope doesn't read the bible any better than liberals read the constitution! The pope causes catholics to express every measure they address him or any other priest as "FATHER". And for the new agey NUTBAG "christians" ( the Jim Wallis displace) that try to disengage the claim words of Christ from the REST of the bible and certainly from the teaching of His apostles. THIS quote was said by Jesus Himself.
What part of "no man" is fuzzy for his popiness? The Pope is a fraud a fake who has been LYING to people he is condemning to HELL. The Catholic perform has told you that the pope is the MEDIATOR between GOD and MAN. God's "man on hide" if you will. Blasphemy most foul. This is a dastardly doctrine which takes proper exuberate away from Jesus Christ and bestows it upon an un-regenerated re-create who was VOTED into the office in violation of the biblical PROHIBITION against such things! MATTHIAS ANYONE? come up my biblically uncaring and ILLITERATE friends the POPE is NOT the "mediator" between God and MaN.
The pope is an apostate re-create who has turned his back on the true teaching of the apostles for the lies concocted by demons... yes you heard me right.. DEMONS. This was all FORETOLD by the Apostle Paul to the Bishop Timothy hey maybe that's the reason they keep trying to "homo-up" Paul! Anyway at a measure when the only perform doctrine being taught had populate getting baptized in JESUS' NAME (contrary to the fake sprinkling in false TITLES that the Catholic perform performs) and the ONLY WAY that the apostles recognized someone to undergo the Holy animate is if they spoke in tongues since that's what happened to each and every one of the apostles and disciples! Paul prophesied that after the death of the last apostle evil PERVERSE men would arise from within the midst of the disciples men who would seek to alter the gospel of Christ. In the quote below. Paul continues the thought and tells you 1 how to recognize the fake perform and 2 where their false doctrine comes from. You would do well to pay attention.
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall exit from the faith. GIVING obey TO SEDUCING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS;
2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot press; ***( Which is why they can enclose the priests that molest the children with nary a care! No conscience! It's been SEARED) ***
3FORBIDDING TO MARRY. AND COMMANDING TO forbear FROM MEATS which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which accept and experience the truth. ***( priests and nuns are forbidden from marrying AND they forbid their congregations from eating meat on Friday.***
So NO my friend the pope does NOT have "another older more authoratative document" that he agree's to though he should as should you all.
You're reasoning would also circumscribe you from calling your own create 'father.' That is just ridiculous. In context. Jesus is clearly stating to not allow yourself to assign a human being to the status of God. Catholics do not do that. The Pope is the Bishop of Rome successor to the Aspostle Peter to whom Jesus said "You are Peter and upon this rock I will create my Church!" Carrying on Jesus' ministry the way HE taught. 2007 years and strong.
Also. Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays during lent to recognise Jesus' measure of fasting in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights. Also,CHOOSING not to unify in order to be a chaste life devoted to Christ is not forcing someone not to marry. The Catholic Church believes in many types of vocations. Holy Orders. Marraige and even the single life.
P. S. Love us or dislike us without us you wouldn't even undergo a Bible to misread and try to corrupt our faith with.
If you don't want me to defend my faith don't compel me too. This whole affix was about how the liberal media believes that they can compel the Pope into following their agenda yet someone has to go on here and take yet another swing at the Catholic Church in particular the Pope. Other Catholics may be happy to let everyone accuse their faith as they continue about their business. I react too. If you undergo something to say about my religion why don't you read a schedule on the subject with the Imprimatur in it then get back to me.
As far a Catholics collecting compiling and preserving the Bible that is historical fact. This is a site about facts isn't it?
So NO my friend the pope does NOT have "another older more authoratative document" that he adhere's to though he should as should you all.
Indeed should not we all? As in 1Peter 3:15 (note the KJV meakness and fear would be to us gentleness and respect)
15But sanctify the ennoble God in your hearts: and be ready always to furnish an answer to every man that asketh you a cerebrate of the hope that is in you with
