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.

Only if the people allow the government to justify their actions. There is no difference in supporting one over the other.

What you are saying is that you hold a group you don't want to particpate with to a hgher standard than you hold your own groups.

No, they are just different. For example, governments justify killing others while the religion we are arguing about does not. Religion cannot be compared to government. I still don't understand why you say otherwise.

Christianity doesn't allow revenge, correct?
Well, the government's responsibility is to retaliate if a country attacks it, correct?

The wine and the bread are MUCH more than that but I don't expect you to understand that at this point in your life (based upon what you have posted).

I understand they have symbolism. Jehovah's Witnesses have a similar custom.

Beyond that though...

**Iowanian** · 01-26-2005, 09:22 PM

Its not symbolism to Catholics.

I can understand how some of you have trouble comprehending this, I mean...its not nearly as serious as the 2nd running of the Yoda action figure with the Kung fu grip.

Metro, I am a Lutheran. Not Catholic. I likewise take communion. We believe (as stated in the bible) that the communion is the true body and blood of the Christ expressed in the eating of the bread and drinking of the wine.

**Iowanian** · 01-26-2005, 09:30 PM

I'm not the person to explain it in a way, that a horde of internet bashers who don't want to understand will comprehend.

I'm not the shining example of everything A Catholic is supposed to be, but I work at it. The past couple of years, I'm nearing the point of being pissed off by the Catholic-hate by the "open minded".

Many Catholics are as offended by alot of the things that are said about the our beliefs as "you" might be if someone called your mother a whore, to her face.

Or cannibals. Take your pick. And Iowanian, it's hard to take a religion serious when the priest are raping little boys.

**Iowanian** · 01-26-2005, 09:38 PM

There you go.

so do teachers, pastors, sheiks, plumbers, college students el al. The religion isn't doing any of that.

May kcchiefsman lick your mother's face.
