This New Pope Is Destroying The Catholic Church. by panafrican(m): 5:43pm On Jul 29, 2013 |
The vague and ubiquitous position of this new pope over gay people is nothing but scandalous and one wonders why a religious leader like him is acting like a politician looking for votes. With these types of mixed messages , the Catholic church will suffer because many true Christians might just leave and let gay people run the show. BBC 29 July 2013 Last updated at 09:45 ET |

panafrican:Get your facts right! He is not endorsing homosexuality, he is not just judging them either and he shouldnt. Remember what Jesus said "judge not so ye shall not be judged". All we can do is condemn the act and leave the homosexuals to God. |

alexchiny: Anytime someone start playing politics with religion people should know better to call him out. that is one of the things i admire about Islam, they will tell you where they stand even before you finish your statement. |

alexchiny:What does the Bible say about Homosexuality ? Why did Go struck Sodom and Gomorrah? We African are paying the price of Europeans weak faith. They should quit dominating Christianity with their weak Pope. Let's not forget that mixed messages are not what religious leaders like his pope should use. This vague and confusing manner of dealing with important issues let Islam to supplant Christianity in the Middle East and some places in South East Asia. The results? Muslims feel stronger today to the point that they believe they can subdue Africa to Islam. See What is happening in Nigeria, Somalia, Mali, Libya, Central African Republic etc. |

panafrican: What does the Bible say about Homosexuality ? Why did Go struck Sodom and Gomorrah?Sorry i don't believe Muslims FEEL stronger, i believe they are actually stronger and more organised, Throught our history Christainity has been a religion of politics. intrigues, vague positions and mixed messages. to me it is no longer a religion that is worthy of any sane man. |

thoth:One can agree with you on that. But on the other hand, Christians are more organized than Muslims. For instance Muslims do not have a unique leader that has the same powers as the Pope. Also the Vatican is not only that tiny "city-Country ", it is a huge well-connected intercontinental government system with rules and regulations. |

One rotten blob of collosal indeference. Mind you that you only meant catholics when you talk about rome, but in the real sense of organization the christians could not be organised without a figurhead. The muslims on the other hand can organise themselves irespective of the heirachy. there is a russian saying that goes "The fish rots from the head." This puts the christians in the a very dangerous position since for example an ambiguos pope like this can fracture the whole structure. With all its organisation and connection it cannot take a stand on concrete issues like abortion,homosexuality and incest. |

See Bakunin @ http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/49654/Mikhail-Aleksandrovich-Bakunin This way of doing things is backward because the lack of structure opens the doors to all types of interpretations and mess. Anyone can come up with anything just like what Al Qaeda and the Taliban are doing. This being said Arabs and Western European Christians have respectively rotten Islam and Christianity with their traditional secular practices. That is why they are stuck in a bipolar faith ( sometime scripture abiding sometimes "lost- politically -correct" politicians). |

panafrican: As much as there are truth in what you are saying, we do know that for any Al Qaeda fighter there are 2 christian Al Qaeda like fighters doing more damage than the Al Qaeda will ever do. Looking back at Al Qaeda if the christians has stayed in their place, and had not looked for trouble with their Pillage in the guise of religion and civilization interventions we might not have heard that name now. The Europeans has never been christians, christianity itself since after the First Council of Nicea has been rotten. Was it not at the same time they were imposing christianity on us that they were colonisaing and enslaving whole nations ? The whole thing has only been a tool used to enslave peoples mind. it is rather unfortnate that we africans being naive embraced the ideal christianity and strived to become righteous acording to its teachings. You should know that they will always dictate what is right accroding to what favours them, at first they impose the christians laws effectively wiping out your culture and its values, second wave came with their liberal laws with is greed, homosexuality,loose lifestyle, lack of respect, selfishness and all sorts of vices. the same people that imposed the first wave njow ridicule you for believing in the ways they imposed on you and call you backward and "living in the 1800s" the same thing they did when you took away your culture. Until we learn that the whole thing is vain and dump all foriegn religions we will always be on the loosing end. 1 Like |

Toth As much as there are truth in what you are saying, we do know that for any Al Qaeda fighter there are 2 christian Al Qaeda like fighters doing more damage than the Al Qaeda will ever do.May be true because Abrahamic religions worship blood. Did Christians teach Jihad to Muslims ? yes Maybe, because some Christians leaders helped Mohamed when he was persecuted. The only bad part of all this is both Islam and Christianity do not stay in their birthplace out there in the Middle East. they want to expand and destroy the peaceful African religions and cultures. |
