While the Bible admittedly makes no reference to capitalism, it does say: "love of money is the root of all evil." So, condemning the soul destroying attributes of greed associated with unrestrained capitalism is in the same spirit.
And as far as making Catholics distrust their Pope - well, as I'm a Lutheran, I see I'm succeeding in my mission. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
No, but seriously, I like this current Pope quite a bit.


The Book of Timothy is in the NT, not the bible. Only a Gentile could have come up with "The love of money is the root of all evil". What about someone who enjoy's creating a value for which he is compensated sufficiently. As that part of evil, producing stuff?

No one says you can't make money - it just becomes wrong when it becomes the focus of your life, at the detriment of others.
And the NT is part of my Bible, even if it's not yours.

Jesus mainly quoted the Old Testament. Such sentiments are found all over the prophets.

However, not having money as the focus of your life doesn't preclude becoming very wealthy. Job was still blessed, as was Abraham, and in the New Testament, the idea of private property is repeatedly stated (see: Ananias and Sapphira, who's crime was to break their contract and attempt to defraud God). However, you're also supposed to help people out with your surplus. Of course, if no-one is starving and everyone has a house, there's no-one to help...

And as long as kids are being buggered then everything he does is moot. It's all empty gestures, until our house is cleaned any other issue is but a distraction.

Honestly we need the inquisition in these times to investigate bad priests again. We did to monks with the Templar's we can do it again.

Babylonians can say that about the Jews...stealing their flood stories. Noah please!

Noah changed his name from Gilgamesh. He didn't want people to know he was Babylonian.

Hmmm. I say, let's start with examining the lives of our cardinals and bishops. Because most priests are holy and good men.

What prompts you to say this? I am not doubting, I am asking what about the cardinals and bishops specifically should be brought into the light of day so to speak?

Noah changed his name from Gilgamesh. He didn't want people to know he was Babylonian.

He did change his name, but when the others returned to their wicked ways, he remained loyal to the old gods, and was spared to repopulate the earth. He was a Semite, and ancestor to those who came after.

Utanapishtim The Faraway was a bit formal and Noah was more like grandpa.

Gilgamesh knew him, wrote that he was not one of the gods, but stood with them, behaved like them.

Abraham was of his line, He was to break away from Baal, which unites the Book of Job, found at the Temple of Baal at Ras Shamron, with the Semite line. He did not give his first child as an offering, gave a ram instead, and nothing bad happened.

Egypt too has Semite roots, and there in the 125th Chapter of The Book of the Dead, are the Ten Comandments.

There is a historic record from the Old Gods, to departing Egypt in haste.

There is no connection with the fan fiction written 1500 years later in Greek.

The Old Gods say the Semites carry on some of the good ways of the gods.

Of the Greeks, they say, "If you should come upon a Greek, take them to the Temple and sacrifice them."

Greeks were known as pirates, fake traders who would kidnap people into slavery, liers and thieves.

Their idea of loving your fellow man was with other Greek men at the bath houses.

Teaching boys their ways was their religion, and it continued with the Roman Church.

Single men and choir boys is the foundation of the Roman Church. Has been for 1500 years.

Now they are losing lawsuits.

Ratzinger resigned and went in hiding to avoid being served Civil Papers, as he was the Head of managing child abuse.

This is like having the Mafia investigated by the Mafia.

Um . . .

The majority of the New Testament.

God forgive me for this, but Francis is an idiot...and I'm a Catholic who's saying this. He's the last pope the Church needed. He can make all of the committees he wants to (and I'm not saying this committee on clerical child abuse or whatever the hell it is is a bad thing), but it's not changing my opinion on the man. He sounds like a straight-up Marxist.


So he sounds likes Jesus Christ? Yop, a man like that, really should not be leader of christian church, that is based on Christus. ^^
