Forgive me, BOL (Nice to see you, btw), but a man as educated and traveled as Pope Francis being a bad communicator is kind of hard for me to wrap my head around. Is he reputed as such?
Why would it matter how educated and traveled he is?

There are dozens of politicians and world leaders who are just as educated and are STILL bad communicators. A perfect example of the bumbling idiot who currently occupies the
White House . . .
Hasn't it been shown that he hasn't (technically, at least) "signed off" on the concept of same-sex union? I thought it had. :)
.
Absolutely not.

As a matter of fact, he has repeatedly stated the Church’s position on same sex “marriage” and has indicated that does not even have the power to approve of it because it is a doctrinal and moral matter.

I guess you need to reach out to Him and inform him that you know more about it..

As this is the reality.

""""""Pope Francis >>>>>has granted his formal approval <<<<<<<allowing Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples so long as they do not appear to endorse their marriage, marking the church's most permissive decree yet on the issue of same-sex couples."""""
WRONG.
READ
the document, Einstein.

And, while you're at it - READ your Bible . . .
Rev. 21:8

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and ALL LOARS—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

What is a "loars", ?

Is that you?

So, here is what the Pope said...

What's sad is YOUR penchant for lying.
If you actually READ the document, you'd be embarrassed by your total
gullibility . . .

I’m not in the least confused by the position nor your defense of the indefensible. The Pope’s position is not like your cousin’s opinion. It matters.

He might as well wink and nod, or cross his fingers behind his back.

The Pope is doing what Lawyers do.. in court.

Lets say they are defending you for not being an Einstein, which is more then obvious.
Its your Trademark here, on the Forum.
So, the Judge, tells your lawyer that all his evidence is not going to be allowed.
What does your Lawyer do?

He ask's permission to come to the bench, and its granted.
He then starts whispering to the Judge, your evidence, that has been "ruled out", and he whispers it so loudly, that the back wall can hear it. And all the Jurors hear it., as he is making his case to them this way, using evidence that has been thrown out by the Judge.
That's how Lawyers get "over ruled" evidence into the EARS of the Jurors.
And Judges let this happen.

And that is what the Pope is apparently doing in the MEDIA..
He has given Priests the means to Bless Gay Couples., by talking to the Media...

""""""Pope Francis >>>>>has granted his formal approval <<<<<<<allowing Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples so long as they do not appear to endorse their marriage, marking the church's most permissive decree yet on the issue of same-sex couples."""""

Thing is..

You can't BLESS the COUPLE, without blessing the GAY Marriage., as they are hand in hand.

Even Einstein can figure that one out.
Can you?

I would never expect YOU to tell the truth about ANYTHING.

As is explicitly written in the document, the blessing is for the hop that the individuals turn away from their lifestyle and live a holier life. Does that sound like a blessing of same sex unions?? Only to an idiot.

That’s the problem with ignorant anti-Catholics like yourself.
You’d rather wallow in the sin of LIES than to even flirt with telling the
truth . . .

I wasn't coming after anybody.

I've seen lots of people accuse others of being a troll in efforts to prevent others from speaking.
That's impossible. The only way to prevent others from speaking is to ban them, a function of the moderators.
It comes down to somebody doesn't like what someone else is saying, so they start calling them a troll
Before putting trolls in ignore, I always give them a chance to back off after the bigotry is exposed. Replies amount to further stupid baseless insults. It's not dialogue, it's not discussion. One baseless lie after another is not free speech. It's persecution.
It's a perfectly acceptable prejudice in our culture. It often rears its ugly head in discussion boards, evidenced by a useless report button. Catholic bashing is socially acceptable, even to the highest level of government, never mind discussion boards. Most Protestants I have personally met are sincere, holy Christians. and don't bother with pointless Catholic bashing.
More and more people distrust main stream media as a reliable source of anything Catholic, and a reliable source is from the source itself, not the manipulations of a biased editor or disgruntled schismatic Catholics.

What should a fruitful discussion entail? It's another topic. Paul had trolls of his own to deal with.
2 TIMOTHY 2:23
KJ21
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they engender strifes.

Thank God for the ignore button.

He implied it to the kid who had asked about his own dad who was an athiest and had died .
He said well didnt he drop you off at the catholic church and didnt he do good things .
And the kid said yes he did . Even though he was an atheist , the pope then implied he would be in heaven .
But this is not the only thing the pope has said . You should see his twenty sixteen prayer . Implying all religons
are finding their way to GOD and that we are all children of GOD .
then the muslim , the buddist , the christain and etc were all saying GOD is love . THEY are trying to get us
to believe in this fairy tale that simply if one does good , has love , it dont matter what religoin they believed in
if even any religion at all . Its the formation of a one world religoin and they are obtaining it
by and through the word love . They are slick and many are now buying into the lie .
The dire necessity to have to believe on JESUS CHRIST is getting tossed aside
in fact many are beginning to even see the true gospel of having to BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
as ONLY in the WAY of attaining their so called prescious love and unity for world peace and safety .
THIS is not gonna bode well at all for those who bought the lie under the guise it was love . IT wont bode well
for them ON the DAY of the LORD .
Yes,I've heard Francis is an Ecumenist.

I guess the catholics are gay friendly now right? If they still think it's a sin the gay person can swing by the church and confess to their priest and be all good to go.

Kinda like in those mafia movies. They go out and murder someone, swing by the priest's crib for absolution, and get back to their mafia social club for some drinks with their mafia brothers.

Maybe catholics believe they can do all the sin they want as long as they go by the the priest's crib and do a few hail marys!

I head they try to talk to dead relatives and stuff. Pretty freaky stuff!

Ummm…. No, I don’t AND here is reality Behold.


that is a link to the document in question and our discussion. Quote from it where it says that priest can now bless same sex couples.

With that said you obviously didnt read the declaration and are parroting the headlines from the main stream media.

Why?

You're saying the news media all got together and decided to publish false reports claiming your pope dude guy is saying it's OK to bless same sex couples?

They just came out with this out of the blue and for no reason?

Maybe they are picking on your pope or something?

They could be just punking him!

Hmmm….well looking back at your previous posts you said to mr e:

Sounds like if somebody can't win a debate, the next tactic is to accuse them of being a troll and hope the moderators kick them out!

It appears you are taking his side suggesting I lost the debate, falsely accused him of being a troll and my goal is to get him kicked out.

You wrote to me:


Isn't that what people say when someone disagrees with them?
Accuse them of being a troll to try and get the moderators kick them out?

Hmmmmm….sure looks like you are coming after me and taking the side of Mr E….but maybe I’m wrong.

Sooooo would you like to do your own investigation and see WHY I called him a troll? Or are u just gonna take sides without being objective?

curious Mary

She's desperately trying to make it personal. That's what desperate people do when their argument is weak. Distract, divert, and run from discussion and dialogue.

It's what 'social media' tried to do when truth got in the way of propaganda. Silence infidels! If you don't agree with us, we will cut out your tongue.
Pot calling the kettle black?

You do know there is a search button on this website and I can easily quote all the personal attacks you have committed kiddo.

Probably because I don't trust catholics!

Have have family members that are catholic so my experience with this religion is very sketchy to say the least!

I heard you people used to kill Christians for not being catholic?

Ya'll not going to start that all up again are ya?
