Can any catholic help me?
My buddy and his wife had their baby's baptism last weekend.
The rented a hall, and fed everyone lunch.

I have put the idea in the wives head that since there was no pope at the time, it didn't count, and they must do it again.
So, she fell for it, and wants to do it over. She talked to their priest, and he isn't sure, and thinks I could be right.

I guess if someone can believe in organized religion, they can be convinced of anything.

On the other hand, Catholics don't seem to have a moratorium on ceremonies between popes, so i would guess you pulled it out of your ass, and her priest is an idiot.

if its all part of god's plan that this guy should be pope, then why didn't he get 100% of the votes on the first ballot?

Because god was too busy answering the prayers from overpaid, narcissistic athletes/celebrities and his flock of sheep. It takes real effort to reply "I don't give a crap" a billion times a day.

I am surprised the job didn't go to Tom Flanagan. He demonstrated the appropriate pope-ly qualifications, as required by the Catholic CHurch hierarchy...

As a catholic and a guy who just watched a documentary on pedophile priests.

Who gives a fuck and why would you.
By the letter of the law as I understand it,
anyone who suspect child sexual abuse and does not report it or protects the accused, is a criminal.

That puts a lot of priests in jail, even the out going pope an arguement good be made,

Its intersting that we are involved in this, and its not perfect, but were trying to make it work for the benifit for all concerned,

But the priests and bishops etc seem to walk on water when it comes to priest mis conduct.

like I said who gives a fuck and if you do are you nuts.

Now, now. Separate issues. Does the self admitted election fraud of MP Penashue make you think twice about representative democracy? Criminality of the power elite in a system does not speak directly to the validity of the system. Only rational examination of the system itself can determine its validity.

So, with that in mind we'll rephrase the question. "sevenofnine, have you spent even a nanosecond of time in rational examination of the core dogma of your faith?"

Better, yes?
So eloquently put...

As a catholic .
So you are a catholic Jasper....so why oh why do you wear condoms when you have sex
with an SP....as a devout catholic it is your duty to try and conceive a child every time you have sex.
I guess you dont want to try an explain a brood of bastard children born from SP's to your wife
who has had your children and has no idea you see SP's.

As for the election of the new pope...I could care less...organized religion is a bigger sham than
the climate change movement.

A devot catholic,
that is funny, are they allowed to pay for sex.

And I lost any faith I had in anything,
when my father beat my mother
and she showed me her bruises and said I was just like him,
then we all went to church on sunday morning.

i actually hope i go to hell to be perfectly blunt.

because as i understand catholism and christianty, all you have do to is ask for forgiveness and your soul shall be healed.
my father before he died went to confession and asked for his forgiveness.

so i would prefer hell actually.

note re: catholics and condoms:
its OK to wear a condom to prevent the spread of disease;
its NOT OK to wear a condom to prevent conception.

note to 7/9:
if your desire is to go to hell, why not try atheism/rationality/reason? read books, watch movies, whatever. avoid churches. banish this devout catholicism from your mind.

if catholic dogma turns out to be true, you'll go to hell - FOR SURE. if not, perhaps you don't need to worry about it.

As is becoming the case more and more often these days, I'm just disappointed, but not surprised at all, with the massive coverage and saturation
given by the media to the world's largest international organization of child molesters.

When I was in Afghanistan and Pakistan , the Mullah's were just as bad as Catholics priests....They all had a entourage of bodyguards and little boys.
Its just not published and reported. All organised religion is worse than hardcore drug dealers in my opinion.
Smoke and mirrors literally eg. the black smoke chimney shit. geeez , amzing sooooo many still buy into that hocas pocas shit.
with the money they have , cant they put on a better show and hire a illusionist or a good magician?
Vatican=biggest mafia cartel in the world and no tax......

Who fricken cares! The Pope is just another CEO of a huge business. Don't care! If you are Catholic you shouldn't be here anyway I think schoolyards are more the place to hang! The difference between achne and a Catholic priest is achne only cums on your face when your a teenager!
