Agreed.

Really? LOL Check my post no. 1067.

He lists all the popes because of my explanation which I will not go into again. AFTER the first official pope was elected, all the bishops before him who served as "pope" were then given that title. This seems easy enough to understand. The SUPER BOWL was not always called the super bowl...

Pontefice is taken, for catholics, to mean the bridge that connects man to God. How is this a false claim? I never said it didn't mean bridge builder...but that is not how it's understood in Christianity. This might also interest anyone reading along who wants more info... Why does the Pope...

There was no pope as we understand it today. Many bishops were called pope... Title and etymology The word pope derives from Greek πάππας meaning "father". In the early centuries of Christianity, this title was applied, especially in the east, to all bishops[19] and other senior clergy, and...

Funny you. To see if YOU knew what it meant! I mean, really, you thought I didn't know? See. You're funny.

The POPE is the ladder between man and God. This is why he is called Il Pontefice. Once the title was officially given to the "first" pope, all the PREVIOS Bishops of Rome were given the same title.

Well sir, just because you state it, does not make it so. Which catholic issues am I ignorant of? Let's get serious for a change.

LOL When have you EVER proven me wrong about anything?? You must be thinking of someone else.

You didn't explain WHY ponte...

See, your last sentence is a hidden insult. Why do you think I don't know it? Was I not the one who brought it up? Do you think I'd bring up a subject I know nothing about? Do you think a person that speaks Italian doesn't know what PONTE means! Come on BoL... Be nice.

Of course catholics understand their issues better. Except that I DO understand catholic issues. You'll just have to wonder why. Sorry.

I don't make dumb comments. Just because you don't agree with them does NOT mean they're dumb. I happen to be an intelligent ex-catholic and AM STILL involved with the CC to this day. What I state I know for sure.

LOL (sorry, you DO make me laugh) PLEASE explain what pontefice means. Thanks. Why "greatest bridge builder"??

We're talking about something YOU don't seem to grasp. Who do you think UNDERSTANDS (not knows about) WWII better? Americans ----- who were UNTOUCHED by the war... Or An Italian (or any other European) who goes by a wall in Pisa that is partially knocked down by bombs that hit it in the 40's...

I don't mind debates. I DO mind insults....be they given in any way. A dumb remark is usually made by a dumb person. Anyway, why not just CUT OUT the insults altogether and make yourself more CREDIBLE. Been telling you this for a long time now... So papa means daddy. MANY bishops were called...

First sentence: LOL Second sentence: Because I agree with it. And I'd have A LOT more to say in a serious discussion...but you can't seem to have a serious discussion and resort to insults.

Hi M, Can't you take her to the ER? That's what I would do if it happened to me. It's normal here, I don't know what's going on in the U.S. anymore -- been away too long. If she gets any worse take her to the ER. Praying for her. Babies scare us to death and they get over it! I think if it...

LOL No! Americans of course. And those of the North and South even more than the others. The closer you are to something, the more you understand it. Who understands the Queen of England more...the English or Americans? Same thing. They hear about the Queen every day, know her every move. What...

I've always found this interesting. I have an NASB bible here that lists TENS, of prophecies Jesus fulfilled. My pastor once explained that anyone could have fulfilled one prophecy or even two...as some fake messiahs may well have. But fulfilling all that Jesus did would be akin to filling up...
