lovekraft Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 He was a good man by all indications, and he did institute a lot of reforms, but in the final analysis, he was the head of the Roman Catholic Church, and as such, charged with the promotion and protection of their beliefs. it's both disingenuous and uncharitable to revile him for not throwing out the rule book and turning the Vatican into a theme park. If you don't like the Catholic policies on homosexuals, birth control, women in the priesthood, etc., that's fine, but blaming John Paul for not changing centuries-old dogma to suit you is ludicrous! And before anybody jumps me for saying so, let me state that I'm a neither a Catholic, a homophobe, nor a mysoginist/chauvinist - I simply think interpreting John Paul's papal "career" from a limited and decidedly anti-Catholic view point qualifies as player-hatin'. Wes, I think you'd make a good pope, 'cept for that whole "celibacy" thing. Link to comment
westhemann Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Wes, I think you'd make a good pope, 'cept for that whole "celibacy" thing. naw...i don't accept anything solely on "faith".i think that excludes me. and i don't know...i am feeling pretty celibate lately. Link to comment

Maiden69 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I'm posting this blanks space because if I write what I'm thinking it will bring so much trouble here than it already has. MM I think you should just dissappear, betwen your takes on guitar and that last post you have shown how inteligent you realy are... I will not disscuss it more, because as I have seen on the other threads you read what you like and understands what you want. So Peace and long live the Pope. Link to comment
RGGR Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 So Peace and long live the Pope. Do we have white smoke, then???? Link to comment

Scott Rosenberger Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I personally think this thread should be closed. It is turning into a religious discussion which is against the Forum Rules Link to comment
Devon Headen Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 It probably is best if this gets closed. I had to post just because I felt like MM was getting way too disrespectful and someone needed to do something at least a little confrontational. Most of the time I try to stay out of conversations like this here on the forums, because it's against the rules, and I feel very strongly about my beliefs. They have nothing to do with guitar building and really have no place on this forum, but discussions like this are kind of interesting. I like seeing what other people believe. I know a couple've people asked me questions, but I don't really feel right continuing in this thread. If you really want to talk, just send me a PM. Link to comment
thedoctor Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 If I may PLEASE close this post by quoting myself, if that is allowed: Vive le Papa! En vita, en morte! ← Link to comment
