Stanley, No, you missed the point. The Pope's blabbering is, as Shakespeare
said , a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
The Pope should have stayed as a bar bouncer in Buenos Aires. And please spare
me the Bernie Sanders option. He is and was the same pathetic little shit on
the edge of the '60s protests that were always careful not to get their heads
beat when things heated up. JS who was there.

You missed the point, A lot more would have left the Catholic Church if the
Pope hadn'tturned to the needs of the neglected poor people by being
Socialistic. Have you notedhow well independent Socialist Senator Bernie
Sanders did and who might have beenPresident if he had been nominated? The

A report released Tuesday by the Pew Forum finds that the total number of
Catholics in the United States dropped by 3 million since 2007, now comprising
about 20 percent - or one-fifth - of the total population.And perhaps more
troubling for the church, for every one Catholic convert, more than six
Catholics leave the church. Taken a step further, Catholicism loses more
members than it gains at a higher rate than any other denomination, with nearly
13 percent of all Americans describing themselves as “former
Catholics.”

EveryoneThe Catholic Church is one of the biggest, if not the biggest
religious group on earth,over one billion world wide. The Priest's oath of
celibacy which I read is not based onthe bible but to prevent their children
from inheriting the church;'s wealth, attractsgays to be priests but most of
whom are not pedophiles. Too bad the Church protectedtoo many pedophiles for
too long but other religious groups have the same problem on asmaller scale. In
any event the Catholic Church owned up to it and took steps to preventit
happening again. Bottom line, the Catholic Church is not about to crumble and
theSocialist Pope is very, very popular. with the media and the people except
with our two pipsqueaks. Stan the Jewish Socialist

My wife was just telling me about a popular Costa Rican Reggaeton (Latino hip
hop) artist who has a song entitled "If priests can be pedophiles then why
can't I?" The world is going to Hell.
We seem to be entering into a period of chaos. Order will be restored. I just
wonder what it will look like.
I heard somebody today say that reading the news today is like reading a
history book because events are unfolding so quickly.

RR Well put. If I hadn't left the church because of the
Vatican's protection of pedophiles, I would leave now for the Pope's promotion
of socialism. JS

Pope Francis is concerned about what he calls a “hemorrhage” of
priests and nuns from the Catholic church. Indeed, the loss of clergy is
weakening the church over the past decades. The Pope commented on how nuns and
priests have just quit claiming that modern society discourages lifelong
commitments as in the soaring divorce rate. He further said that people conduct
their lives based on “a la carte” choices.
The Podesta emails revealed that the Democrats dislike Catholics.
Hillary’s staff said Catholics are “severely backwards” .
Nancy Pelosi recently said: “They pray in church on Sunday and then prey
on people the rest of the week.”

The decline of Rome coincided with the collapse in their religious beliefs
during the 3rd century. Once the Emperor Valerian I was captured by the
Persians from Iran in 260 AD, confidence in the survival of the Empire began to
collapse. Other barbarians realized they could invade Rome for it was now weak.
People turned to their gods and prayed, but nothing happened. Christianity
began to spread when the Roman empire and its pagan gods began to fall.
Pope Francis with his communist ideas doesn't seem to understand that
communism replaces his religion. The state becomes God.
Countries become great through a free market and strong religious belief.
Great wealth is created but it is unequally distributed. This leads to revolts
and a collapse. Socialism and communism are just forms of revolt. They end up
achieving their goal of a more equal distribution of wealth but end up only
making everybody equally poor, except for a handful of communist leaders who
now own everything. The communist leaders are skilled in propaganda and
politics but not in much else, which results in the nation's economy
collapsing, and with it the government's power. When that happens the people
become more religious again, like today in the former Soviet Union.
