So teh chances are excellent then! Good to know. Wibble Send a noteboard - 12/02/2013 04:51:43 PM
For health reasons apparently, though it's come out of nowhere so one does wonder if there is more going on...

Anyway, odds on getting a progressive, forward thinking new leader who promotes birth control (especially in the 3rd world regions), equal rights and who isn't a bigot?

No, I don't think the chances are good either.


As a post from you that isn't complete and utter nonsense.

And thank God for that.

That is what I get for only having decaf coffee this morning... HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 05:43:57 PM 648 Views
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this point. Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:36:03 PM 487 Views

Hate to jump you again but are you sure you mean Timothy? Isaac - 14/02/2013 11:54:00 PM 628 Views
Yep, I ment Timothy HyogaRott - 15/02/2013 04:18:21 AM 593 Views

If "the bible is still the bible," then what of Deborah, Huldah and Phoebe, to name but a few? Joel - 13/02/2013 06:17:44 PM 711 Views
Why wouldn't it still be devinely inspired? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:44:07 PM 632 Views
Um, because then God was lying when He inspired someone to write "this is not Gods commandment." Joel - 13/02/2013 07:42:15 PM 602 Views
You're missing a really key point Jeordam - 13/02/2013 09:13:32 PM 652 Views
You are using an epistle to say every word of all epistles is divinely inspired? Joel - 13/02/2013 10:00:36 PM 783 Views
Let us take it full circle: The ecclesiastical authority of women Joel - 13/02/2013 10:21:26 PM 677 Views
Shouldn't you be able to answer this question from what you just wrote? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 11:02:28 PM 669 Views
Oh, certainly; I just felt like I was dragging you with me kicking and screaming. Joel - 14/02/2013 01:05:14 AM 634 Views
So Roman Catholic priests CAN marry, under tortuous conditions? Interesting.... Joel - 13/02/2013 03:40:48 PM 525 Views
A priest can't marry, but a married person can become a priest. HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 03:51:02 PM 565 Views
Heh, yeah, I guess I slightly mischaracterized what you were saying. Joel - 13/02/2013 05:54:05 PM 658 Views
There are a bunch of semi-Catholic denominations that allow priests to marry. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:06:13 PM 579 Views
That makes more sense. Joel - 13/02/2013 06:23:36 PM 656 Views
Here's my chance. I'm putting in my application. Palatine - 11/02/2013 04:20:52 PM 753 Views
Unfortunately it matters due to the power he has... Wibble - 11/02/2013 04:42:25 PM 690 Views
Religions don't work that way. They are full of moral absolutes. There is no flexibility *NM* Dark Knight - 11/02/2013 06:10:19 PM 329 Views
Of course there is flexibility. The minute their money is threatened they flex like mad... *NM* Wibble - 11/02/2013 06:25:02 PM 336 Views
I'd imagine Unitarians and several other religions would beg to differ Isaac - 11/02/2013 09:28:39 PM 672 Views
Hah, are you kidding? beetnemesis - 13/02/2013 02:20:54 PM 741 Views
You would like the Roman Catholic Church to do some good FOR ONCE?! Joel - 11/02/2013 08:00:26 PM 764 Views
Well said. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/02/2013 10:55:18 PM 365 Views
You give them too much credit. Wibble - 11/02/2013 11:19:06 PM 717 Views
Put on blinders much? HyogaRott - 11/02/2013 11:50:01 PM 643 Views

You really don't know how human psychology works, do you? Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:28:23 PM 616 Views
..and you don't get that it isn't what people will/may do, but what they should. HyogaRott - 15/02/2013 04:22:26 AM 815 Views
It's not religion, it's HIV or no HIV. Legolas - 15/02/2013 10:45:52 PM 590 Views
it's not HIV or no HIV, it is about what people should do. HyogaRott - 16/02/2013 07:02:36 PM 640 Views
Of course they don't have to teach people how to use condoms. Legolas - 17/02/2013 10:46:38 AM 571 Views
You're showing some glaring bias and hostility here Isaac - 12/02/2013 01:58:17 PM 559 Views
No, you are giving them far too little. Joel - 13/02/2013 03:33:03 PM 573 Views
The catholic church is significantly growing in Africa and with Hispanics. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:41:54 AM 402 Views
Oh, that. Palatine - 12/02/2013 03:04:42 PM 526 Views
That's such a load Cannoli - 13/02/2013 01:39:45 AM 630 Views
Oops, I meant to reply here - As a catholic.....my take. Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:39:42 AM 683 Views
I'd say the chances are about as good... Dragonsoul - 12/02/2013 03:48:29 PM 773 Views
So teh chances are excellent then! Good to know. Wibble - 12/02/2013 04:51:43 PM 614 Views
I doubt there's much of a chance of a real progressive. Stephen - 12/02/2013 06:38:14 PM 579 Views
IDK, two straight non-Italians? Will they put up with a 3rd? Has that even happened since Avignon? Cannoli - 13/02/2013 01:46:28 AM 652 Views
Who says Benedict/Ratzinger is straight? Roland00 - 13/02/2013 04:56:52 AM 562 Views
Don't think so, but the Italians will have to get used to it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:34:24 PM 573 Views
This will be a very interesting time. Dannymac - 13/02/2013 06:27:41 PM 693 Views
He's retiring into a monastery in the Vatican, as I understand it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:42:14 PM 683 Views
Now this would be interesting.... Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:51:40 PM 651 Views
Right now I would settle for making up lost ground... Dannymac - 14/02/2013 05:02:38 AM 562 Views
