The Pope John Paul II - Page 17

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.

There's a cool story I heard about the bread turning into real flesh one time back in like 800ad. In the 70's, a scientist went to the vatican to study this stupid "flesh". He converted a few days later.

It is. I saw it on TV. I assume they check their facts.

At the same time, I can't deny that you believe its more. However, on the LOGICAL level and fundamental level, it is symbolism.

On a logical level, none of us should exist as matter can never be created. Yet something or Someone had to create the initial matter against all logic.

So are you stating that you believe logically, you truly don't exist? Or is logic only convenient when applied to sacraments?

He visited Peter Griffin the other day. Of course he was kidknapped, but he didn't seem to mind.

But, maybe it was just make believe. I really couldn't tell.

Logically, someone or something had to create us because we exist.

Sacraments are bread and wine. A baker and a winemaker created them.

He prays and goes to mass and meets people and probably goes to meetings. He's 84? years old though, and everyday he wakes up, his body aching from Parkinson's so bad, he hurts all over. And everyday he wakes up, the only thing he has on his mind is love and how great God and the world is.

You just described my grandfather. Would you like to meet him? He's a hell of a lot closer to you than the Pope.

I don't see why people shit on other peoples religions. Are you really so insecure about your own faith/or lack there of that you have to shit on other peoples? Pretty weak.

Sorry, I think I made a mistake. The Pope is actually older than 82.
