Pope John Paul II has passed away, prompting a day of mourning and respect from both Catholics and non-Catholics alike. He is remembered for his significant contributions to world peace, his role in ending communism in Europe, and his historic visits, including one to a synagogue in Rome. His papacy lasted nearly 27 years, making him one of the longest-serving popes in history. Many express admiration for his integrity and commitment to charity, despite differing views on church policies. His legacy is expected to influence the selection of the next pope, with discussions surrounding potential candidates already underway.

were you brought catholic or hebrew Cronex ? just wondering.


aww those are my only options?

darn. well I've been exposed to a few religions and in two countries, oceans apart - from islam to orthodox christianity to judaism recently, but never had any particular religion. now that i think about it - if i was pushed towards either of those religions i would probably been a believer today

alas, my parents and family at large weren't that religious - i guess their education is to blame

and hey, if you think I'm harsh about the Pope's death, i suggest you read the redneck baptist rebuttal:

http://www.godhatesamerica.com/
-- This website, along with godhatesfags.com, godhatessweden.com, godhatescanada.com, and some other nasty names is run by Westboro Buptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. You'd think I'm making this stuff up, but you can go to their website and find their 'upcomming pickets' where they go to the gay events and start harrasing people with their hatred - there are pictures online:

Front and center on their website (godhatesamerica.com) :

Thank God the Pope is DEAD!



The Pope is in HELL!



The Pope, and all his idolatry, is singlehandedly responsible for sending millions of souls to hell. By preaching his doctrine of devils, that there is no hell, and by seducing millions of souls to bow down to idols, he has done the work of his father the devil (John 8:44) all the days of his miserable life.

Moreover, the Pope is a fag enabler, if not a practicing fag himself! How else can you explain his tacit approval of the pedophiles they call priests in the Catholic whore house? If he were a righteous man, a bishop blameless, a steward of God, he would have put a stop to the buggery as soon as he became the Pope, and made it known that it would not be tolerated. Rather, he was complicitous in their sins, promoting fag priests who did unspeakable things with little children to be heads in his apostate whorehouse masquerading as a church! WHY? BECAUSE HE LOVED IT SO! He had his good things in this life (a throne upon which he sat, gold to adorn himself, and an empire to run), and is even now being tormented (Luke 16:25).

He did not fulfill the Scriptural commandments of his office, to wit:

"Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock". (1 Peter 5:2-3)

"A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."

Don't worry, you haven't changed this thread, but you do have change my words. I said: it has been accurately demonstrated that nowadays muslim religion and muslim leaders dislike Catholic religion. In fact, they call us the "unfaithful" (correct me, but I think the Coran refers to this word when talking about christians, if I am wrong sorry then). On the other hand, the head of Catholic Church and the Church itself have forgotten all about the spanish Reconquist and this sort of old troubles. It is muslim religion and muslims leaders who seem not to have forgotten it yet.

On the contrary, John Paul II has collaborated joining each religion (recall Asis Assembly where every religious leaders of the world were invited by him to talk and to share about each religion, he promoted the event) because he did think every faithful men thinks of the same. On the contrary, he collaborated providing stability to the world, not like the leaders of muslim religion (we DO know that they promote instabilities across the entire world).

As a result John Paul II was a figure of humanity and comprehension, and by the way he did a lot to defeat comunism in Poland and make polish men free. Also he traveled to poor places, where no politician want to go, where poorest and undefended people live, giving them hopeness and listening them.

All of these was closed to an extraordinary sense of humor.

Don't forget, Moses, there is an essential difference as far as how Catholic (and occidental) church views the World, how we try to built over it peacefully, and on the contrary how muslim relgious leaders see the world, reinstauring pain and fear, actively destroying the equilibrium in world, and recalling old battles which have been forgotten in occident a lot of time ago.

Now is when Evo closes the thread. I apoligize if I have said something non political correct, but I feel it is neccesary to use the Democracy to say the truth, no matter who is offended and no matter how it sounds. I am not going to be dishonest with myself saying stupidities only for giving a pretty appearance of tolerance. I have started this thread and I think it is needed a clarification and underline the labour of the Pope John Paul II also by comparing with another people who has apparently the same position and by the way a greater number of believers, and who haven't made nothing positive for improving the life in this planet.

"Al pan pan, y al vino vino". or
"Las cosas claras y el chocolate espeso", are two adages in spanish which mean "the more clarified what is talked, the better"

Chill out Clausuis2, some people here ATTACKED the Pope in person and you did not say anything, it sounds you hate muslims and Islam more than you are loyal to your religuos [I don't think i am wrong, still i am not arrogant and happy to show me if i ,being a human, can be wrong] Regardless of my religion [if i have any] i have an issue(s) to say:

Colonization, WW1, WW2, SLAVERY +discrimination against Jew, Muslims, Blacks, Native Indians and many other i guess you should go truthfully serach for the Catholic Church position from them at those times and now. I know you are smart, Engineer Guru, and you can use google, its not a taboo :smile:

Muslims Leaders ..etc? Man generalizing is at least: NOT cool [specially other stuff as well u said without proofs]. Do you accept other humans generalize about christianty via seeing the colonization or the crusades don't by Catholics [& other christian gruops] I think the logic asnwer is: NO.

Islam religion is amazing, Muslims leaders can do good or bad, and luckily always the majority of them are justice scholars. Islam make the Eastern Roman Empire and Persoan who were enemis a BROTHER and SISTER under Islam Advance in science in middle ages is majorly becuase of muslims scientist who gave to ALL humanity.

Muslims now don't have their Top religuios leader, the Caliph since WW1. Why? The Anti-muslim and religion goverments of the European Colonizers desttoy the only Super Power against their colonization plans, specially in the Holy Land and the Middle east. I will not speak about the Pope Situation at that time from that...at least i am sure Muslims favors to the world are NOT LESS of the Christians, I amk sure too they, as not-perfect humans did not less ahrm to humanity [got it?] Spreading happiness and bortherhood in the age of Crusaders and Colonization that stole others moeny and spread pain and TERRORISM

Once again, Clasuis2, Plz accept my sadness sharing in losing Pope John Paul II, he done very good actions worth to thank him for it. At last, Quran NEVER Called Christians unfaithful. Quran disagree with the fact Christians worhsip Jesus the Messenger of God to the Israelis + other stuff. Quran call them "Coverers" i.e they "Cover" some favors of God by worshippin other beside him,Chaging His Book the Gospel "of Jesus" and making major erros in disobying His laws.

I hope if a muslim come and see this thread, he won't be offended by your "propaganda" against them. May The Heat, The Heat of the ignorance be cooled down. Peace be upon open minded people, good wishes to others.

First of all this isn't morbid news and secondly, then you should also ban reports on tsunami's, war, terrorists, politics, starvation,...What will remain ? physics ? pfff, boooooooring

That's a bit simplistic no ? Clearly, you are not familiar with the customs of the catholic church. Now, that is not a sin but then don't start to make false and hollow claims if you don't know what you are talking about.

Yesterday I watched seals clubbed to the head with a poke, being dragged across the ice on a hook and being skinned alive, in a news documentary.. that was shocking and sad :cry: :cry:

I agree that not everything needs to be shown on television, the informative value should be evaluated.

ohh no, let's not degenerate into one of them censorship-discussions. I think everything must be shown on TV. If you don't want to see it then just change the channel.

Besides, if you'd ask me to ban a type of TV-program i'd sure as hell go for all those animal-documentaries that bore you to death. it's illegal to kill people and as i recall, a documentary has the purpose of being instructive

I agree on journalistic freedom, but it really is not necessary to give all the gory details in visuals. I think it is morbid if someone is interested in seeing such images.

I can relate, however bringing the truth (and nothing else but the truth) is what good journalism is about. The truth is often very cruel, but i prefer to see something real in stead of some masked, adapted, lame version of reality.

Surprisingly this thread has not been closed yet...

I know some persons are offended when they hear the Truth, because the Truth disturbs some alienated minds.

Every christian and catholic is able to admit that catholic church practised horrible crimes in the past. And probably we are ashamed of that. By the way, catholic church DO NOT NEED to apologize about getting rid of the arabs during the Reconquist of the spanish kingdoms. Al-Andalus was our property much time ago they arrived. So we merely counteracted under an agression.

The main problem with muslim religion, muslim religion supporters and muslim religion leaders is that they HAVE NOT EVOLUTIONATED. They are sticked to the past, sticked to old revenges (they are claiming the Holy War every day!, aren't we Holy too?, or are they the unique people of the world which waves the right of being Holy?, aren't the rest of wars Holies?.). They are instabilizing the world claiming for OLD troubles. And they are not capable of forgetting about it.

Yes, mulims made a great contribution in middle ages, but the main problem is that they remain there nowadays. They haven't left middle ages. And it's time now.

The main conclusion you, or any muslim over here, can extract of this thread is about the extraordinary behavior of the Pope as far as religious convergence and world convivence was improved by this great moral leader.

Amen? If Jesus was here, he will not say this reply by any means...

For the second time the role abuot religion on this forums is broken. And attacking a religion of other people.

Evo, i do trust in your justice, even by dealing with members of high posts and a heavy wieght on this forum. Others are having EQUAL rights with them since they are EQUAL human. Please take a wise action for dealing with this, thanks in advance.

I swear to God, who created me out of nothing, if some one now pop-up and attack the religion of Judaism here, i will leave. I do think PF is not a place to attack other religions [even if it s tupid attack]. If it is, i will go for justified defense. I am offended deeply by hatred and racist (religionist) atttitude by some mebers here.


Waiting for the proper action.

And Moses, please reply to my post about Topeka, Kansas based Westboro Baptist Church's views - they are after all, from your camp, and not my opinions

Evo, its the third time a racist (religionsit) offense occured. I do trust in a mature dealing with this issue.

Regardelss of my religion, I am NOT the son of monkey, I am the Son Of Women, and Man. Muslims Evolutioned? well, Christian eurpoe is "evolutioned" by becoming more athiest, and secualr. I do think it is not wise if muslims took this appraoch. Further, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Chenchynia, Bosnia and Palestine truobles are not OLD, but i think it is a consequence of an OLD hatred by some sides, sadly :frown:

I am not cruel offend other reglions even without logic-proof i won't critize religions here since i do respect the furom rules.

"War on terrorism will be a CRUSADE war" George W. Bush, Sept 12, 2001

Defending against offense on religion [defending is legal on this website] I do challenge you, Clausuis2, to show me ONE PLACE mentioned Holy War in Islamic religion. Rest assured, Jihad means struggle, e.g. struggle against doing bad, fighting the invaders...etc

My Mom having blue eyes and blonde hair. You know why? She is visigoth actually and her ancestors kicked out from Spain during the Holocoaust against muslims, not by Hitler who did it again against innocent jews. Iberia and EVERY LAND is for its natives, the natives want to change their religion, what is your problem? Should you go and colonize Turkey in a new crusade just becuase the Eastern Roman Empire became muslim?

Racism? Justice? Attacking? Stupid? What are you saying?

You're offside.

I am not attacking anyone!

Here, at PF, at Occident, there is the most precious possesion we have: DEMOCRACY. I am free to express my thinkings always I do it politely, and I have done it politely. You can disagree, and you are welcome to do that. This is not a dictatorship, as some arab regimes.

An stupid attack? Where galaxy do you live?. Besides you are unable of defend your point of view (which is undefendable by the way), you have fallen into impoliteness.
