Today I listened to a talk about the Catholic religion and part of it dealed with the Pope - John Paul II. Isn't he amazing? The Pope is one of my heroes. He's so unbelievably good. This thread is a tribute thread to the living saint.

Pretty good Craig....How's Mariconi Stereo these days?

Yeah, I was worried after I posted that...when you combine Catholics with all of the other Christian religions, I believe it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 billion people or 33 percent of the planet that are Christians. Interesting stuff.

I was quite disappointed that the Church in this situation acted worse than many corporate actors: it took multimillion dollar lawsuits before they changed their behavior, so that it left one wondering if the Church valued its image over the well being of its children.

Naturally. I didn't say that there was no corruption/problems with the CC anymore, just that it wasn't nearly as bad as few hundred years ago. Pedophilia is just a prime example of how hypocrytical religious poeple can be. Religion, especially catholisism, makes me sick. It has ever since I started forming my own opinions.

It's easy for him to talk about abstinence, because after you have been married for a while, it just comes naturally.

Did he wait until he was 26 years old or did he date her for 26 years?

French people have gone through a lot in the past century. I don't automatically hate any group of people, except the Swiss. Now, maybe their government is a little corrupt or cold or both or whatever, but I haven't met a single French person and therefore have no reason to hate them.

The most about French people I know is that I admire François Truffaut's films.

And, 100% of it was their own doing.

Or not doing I guess would be more accurate.
