He doesn't impose; he understand the pluralistic nature of the marketplace of ideas. Look at his message to America and the world in his last visit. <BR/><BR/>The problem arises when one wants to impose on a church which is bounded by its doctrine. <BR/><BR/>Re: the pope's infallibility, I'm not sure if the church rams it to believers as a black and white thing. I think there are questions on faith that summons our conscience and free will. That's why we need discernment not only from the church, but from God as well.mesiamdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643231948435993871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-87159533274837079032008-04-22T03:29:00.001+08:002008-04-22T03:29:00.001+08:00Dom,In my next post I shall show that it is not ab...Dom,<BR/>In my next post I shall show that it is not about "sex" with them but "power"!Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-62722662607320955762008-04-22T03:29:00.000+08:002008-04-22T03:29:00.000+08:00mesiamd,Jesus agrees with you but not the Pope:“Yo...mesiamd,<BR/>Jesus agrees with you but not the Pope:<BR/><BR/>“You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

It's so sad they haven't made any step to resolve this. <BR/><BR/>I wonder how much money is that? Could they just get it from other sources?<BR/><BR/>It's pretty dumb to be connected to something even Jesus Christ had seen with resentment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-78768951079878757942008-04-21T10:56:00.000+08:002008-04-21T10:56:00.000+08:00Amen to that.

These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! <BR/><BR/>"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. <BR/><BR/>"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." </I><BR/><BR/>[High-five to amadeo.]Jegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806891595153451306noreply@blogger.com
