And you fellers don't compliment the administration for what it is doing. Trump is a Global Giant one minute, then cleaning the slime in the sewers, then time for a B'Ball game. Tomorrow may bomb hell out of threatening countries who chant Death to America. Then, for a nightcap, a speech adorned perfectly in a tuxedo with people eating out of his hand.

It's a drop in the ocean compared to Republican fraud.

The guy can't be too Catholic when he opposes the Pope and wants to cover up the legacy of the first Catholic President we had.

Or maybe the pope isn’t acting that Catholic?

There's a very long tradition of Catholic social justice, that might argue the Pope is not being Catholic enough!

That would depend on where he makes his stances and the Bible. They already have an issue with having to go to a priest to confess sins to be forgiven rather than a having a personal relationship. They are no different in Gods eyes just a man making good and bad decisions.

If you want to argue Catholic theology you're supposed to write an overlong wordy essay like this:

The episcopal college and its head, the Pope

880 When Christ instituted the Twelve, "he constituted [them] in the form of a college or permanent assembly, at the head of which he placed Peter, chosen from among them." 398 Just as "by the Lord's institution, St. Peter and the rest of the apostles constitute a single apostolic college, so in like fashion the Roman Pontiff, Peter's successor, and the bishops, the successors of the apostles, are related with and united to one another." 399

881 The Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter, the "rock" of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock. 400 "The office of binding and loosing which was given to Peter was also assigned to the college of apostles united to its head." 401 This pastoral office of Peter and the other apostles belongs to the Church's very foundation and is continued by the bishops under the primacy of the Pope.

882 The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter's successor, "is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful." 402 "For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered." 403

883 "The college or body of bishops has no authority unless united with the Roman Pontiff, Peter's successor, as its head." As such, this college has "supreme and full authority over the universal Church; but this power cannot be exercised without the agreement of the Roman Pontiff." 404


YOU are not acting like a Catholic.

I gave you an answer, take it or leave it I don’t care. I was christened as a baby, as an adult I don’t like calling anyone anything but Christian, I feel denominations separate us and weaken the our strength. We are Christian brothers and sisters with one Bible, the word of God.

That's not good enough.

What about Jehovah's Witnesses? They don't believe Jesus is God.

What about Mormons? They believe they will all become gods after death, equal to God.

What about Muslims? They believe Jesus is a divine prophet of the One God of Abraham. Very similar to JWs.

Were you aware that many Protestants use the phrase "Christian not Catholic" to imply ONLY Protestants are "real" Christians?

If you can't be bothered to discuss these topics than you really aren't in any position to judge how Catholic the Pope is. Seriously.

"An issue"?

So now you're an authority on "correct" Christian practices, and Catholics are failing in this respect?

You're just a typical Protestant bigot like Raj.
