POPS7 New Deadly sins Interesting that they would include these, and not others. I am not Catholic, and therefore do not view sins in this way. The basic Christian view is that one sin can keep you out of heaven- ie Hell is not a punishment but the result of separation from God for all eternity.

POPSMichigan Left Storms Church The church's response? After things settled down, the blasphemy ended, the lewd props removed and the families safe from fear of additional men and women running into and past them the pastor took the stage and led the congregation in one more prayer... not for retribution, or divine justice or a celestial comeuppance (that's what I'd have prayed for) but instead that the troubled individuals who'd just defiled the Lord's house, so full of anger and hate, would know Jesus' love in their lives and God's peace that exceeds human understanding. Yesterday morning defined the difference between a church of believers and Michigan liberals. It also illustrated in shocking, painful detail precisely what we're up against.

POPSI'm not sayin', but I'm just sayin'...The Number is 666 The Number of the Beast is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Number is 666 in modern biblical text, although 616 and 665 appear instead in at least one ancient source. This topic is a source of contention for many church groups and theologians. Some scholars contend that the number is a code for the Roman Emperor Nero. Mark of commerce Futurist Christian eschatology typically holds that the Mark of the Beast is one way in which the Antichrist will exercise power over the Earth during the period of Tribulation, because of the prophetic statement in Revelation 13:16-17 that "the Beast" (θηριον) will require all people to receive the mark (χάραγμα "branded mark or character) in their right hands or foreheads in order to buy or sell, making survival for those on the run much more difficult. http://www.answers.com/Apocalyptic%20Number

POPSReview Group: Sex education should respect faith values Ugh, faith schools will be allowed to pervert sexual education classes to fit their faiths. In other words, expect more 'abstinence only' sex ed classes. And classes that teach homosexuals are not worthy of the rights other humans get. Wonderful!

POPSGodless = Not Acceptable? All the news outlets pass over the obvious and by doing so reinforce the common idea that being godless is somehow something to be used as a weapon to defame people. A thinking person should first ask what is wrong with being an atheist? Instead we see most people accept the premise that it is simply wrong and leave it at that. That, in and of itself, is arrogant, prejudicial, and hateful.

POPSEx-Muslim Tells Pope Islam Is The Religion Of War
the general interest of Christianity and of Western civilization itself” that the Pope make a pronouncement in “a clear and binding way” on the question of whether Islam is a valid religion. The Catholic Church’s dialogue with Islam is based on the Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (”Nostra Aetate”), which urged esteem for Muslims because “they adore the one God,” strive to follow his will, recognize Jesus as a prophet, honor his mother, Mary, “value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.” The council called on Catholics and Muslims “to work sincerely for mutual understanding” and for social justice, moral values, peace and freedom. Allam told Pope Benedict he specifically objected to Cardinal Tauran telling a conference in August that Islam itself promotes peace but that “’some believers’ have ‘betrayed their faith,’” using it as a pretext for violence.

POPSChristian Right Influence on USA Politics It all started when Ronald Reagan courted the religious right in his bid to win the Presidency. Now it's come to Christian leaders who use millions in tax-free donations to try to influence nominations for the Supreme Court and to subvert the First Amendment separation of church and State. It's a mutual back scratching society.

POPSPraying For Palin "Perhaps there are some here who also sense that what's being lost is more than just a single election. The fact that the GOP ticket is trailing behind despite the addition of Palin clearly proves that while conservative Christians may be a formidable force in American politics, they can't elect a president by themselves. The right-wing evangelicals won in previous years because they joined a Republican coalition that also included hawkish neocons, working-class "Reagan Democrats," libertarians, and old-fashioned fiscal conservatives. And some of those groups have clearly had enough. They are departing the flock in disgust with the Republican Party, which could leave the GOP ever more dependent on the Christian right. "

POPSZionist dictate to Catholics now!!!? Israel and the Vatican only established full diplomatic relations in 1993 and since then there have been other disagreements, over issues including the taxing of church property in and around Jerusalem and permits for Arab Christian clergy to travel through the occupied West Bank. Pope John Paul II visited Israel in 2000, the first pope to do so, but Pope Benedict XVI appears to have no plans to visit in the near future. On Sunday, the Israeli president, Shimon Peres, said the row over the photo caption should not prevent a papal visit, though he too was critical of Pius. "We have reason to believe that Pius XII didn't do enough to save Jewish life. I don't want to pass judgement," Peres said. "If there is evidence then it should be checked carefully. The visit to the holy country is nothing to do with anger or disputes. It's holy all the time. It is holy for all of us."

POPSChurch of the Holy Sepulchre Endangered by Battling Factions &Time Ah, Christian brotherhood and love at it's very best. "Rival denominations often battle for access or space and the congregation at the annual Easter service sometimes resembles the terraces of a boisterous football match. The keys to the main entrance of the church have been held by a Muslim family since the 12th century because the Christians do not trust one another."
