POPSPope correcting Jesus I don't care what the pope says, I much prefer Jesus Christ's definition of a church, which I included in my cartoon today, says Bob Englehart, who created this cartoon, in his blog .

POPSWhy Jimmy Carter left the Southern Baptist Convention Subservience of women to men is a false argument, dependent upon selection of certain verses of the Bible and the exclusion of many others. Suppressing female leadership is a cultural decision of male leaders, not an accurate reading of Scripture.

POPSPope: So, you're not Catholic? Then you're not in true Church What do you think of this one, from your beloved Pope, Catholics? Please show me in scripture where Jesus talks about having to through the Pope rather than Gods himself? Also please do not recite Mathew 16: 13-20, the rock is not Peter but his confession, as being the rock and foundation of the church.

POPS"Pope Returns to Conciliation Between Evangelizing Mission and Ecumenism" On January 31, Benedict XVI received the participants to the Plenary Session of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In his address, he first recalled the publication by this dicastery of “two important documents which offered doctrinal clarification (…) necessary if the ecumenical dialogue with the world’s religions and cultures is to progress as it should.”

POPSCatholic-Shiite Dialogue - Reasonable Understanding Against the background of these existing contacts between the Vatican and Muslim authorities, one can look forward with anticipation to the first meeting of the Catholic-Muslim Forum, scheduled for early November. The forum was founded following a meeting in the Vatican in March this year, which itself was the result of a letter written in October 2007 by 138 Muslim scholars from 43 countries to the pope and other representatives of the Christian churches. The topic of the forthcoming meeting is to be "Love of God and neighbour." The Vatican-Shiite dialogue is also set to continue: another colloquium is planned for two years time in Tehran.

POPSBarmer Theologische Erklärung von 1934 (The Theological Declaration of Barmen) (excerpts) Wir verwerfen die falsche Lehre, als dürfe die Kirche die Gestalt ihrer Botschaft und ihrer Ordnung ihrem Belieben oder dem Wechsel der jeweils herrschenden weltanschaulichen und politischen Überzeugungen überlassen. We reject the false doctrine, as though the Church were permitted to abandon the form of its message and order to its own pleasure or to changes in prevailing ideological and political convictions. Wir verwerfen die falsche Lehre, als könne und dürfe sich die Kirche abseits von diesem Dienst besondere, mit Herrschaftsbefugnissen ausgestattete Führer geben und geben lassen. We reject the false doctrine, as though the Church, apart from this ministry, could and were permitted to give itself, or allow to be given to it, special leaders vested with ruling powers.

POPSPope Points to Saints who Conquered 'Hell on Earth' of Nazi Camps 5 Comments So, why does the wealth of the Vatican need the protection of a secular state? The Catholic Church has always been in love with power Ironic........Pope during ww2 turned a blind eye to the horrors of nazi germany and holocaust. I swear I remember reading from multiple source including his own autobiography that the current pope was in Hitlers youth brigade and luftwaffe (Air Force) as an assistant something or other. Info...that is true

POPSThe Pope Versus the President The article continues: The U.S. invasion of Iraq was similarly contentious for former Pope John Paul II, who sent a special envoy to the White House in March 2003 in an effort to prevent an attack. The papal envoy's pleas fell on deaf ears. Vatican criticisms of the Bush administration's military intervention in Iraq have continued unabated. French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran "The facts speak for themselves. Alienating the international community (with the U.S. push for war) was a mistake." Tauran, who has referred to the invasion and occupation as a "crime against peace," also said that Christians in Iraq "paradoxically, were more protected under the dictatorship" of Saddam Hussein. Benedict failed to honor Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's urgent request for a private meeting last month. The ongoing tensions between Bush and Benedict put America's Roman Catholics in a tricky position for 2008.
