Pope labels democracy ´godless´ | |
Dino1 12/08/2005 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don´t think the pope is attacking democracy, something the US is clearly not. Can anyone really argue that he is wrong on this point? Look at the greed in the US. We admire the people that make the most money and value money above all. Even if one is an atheist the US is certainly heartless. |

God will silence all the false teachers and false prophets who would have been better off never to have been born. 500 years ago, roman catholicism was labeled "Godless". The Father Judged it so. Rotten anti-Christ spirit on the whole lot of deniers that subvert God´s Word and Witness to mankind. |

Old-fashioned Catholic 12/08/2005 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It´s unfortunate that I even have to explain that the Pope certainly does not disapprove of democracy per se. Rather, he is pointing out what ought to obvious to everyone: That democracy is certainly no guarantee of a just, virtuous government. In the past, it was always easy, too easy, to blame the crimes of government on powerful evil individuals like Hitler or Genghis Khan. It was all too easy to claim that, if only everyone had a democracy, all the world´s ills would cease. That view is naive. The Pope is pointing out that democratically elected parliaments are just as capable of monstrous, massive crimes as other forms of government. The Pope´s obvious example is abortion, the mass murder of unborn children, the #1 crime of our age. |

user ID 9645 12/08/2005 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pope talks about Eastern Europians have kept their spiritual values.... Do you remember the prophecies (infact many of them) point to Russia and eastern Eurpoe as being the cradle of the new spiritual understandings. It has been said that "it will be out of Russia that the new wave of spiritual fire will come out and consume the world. |

Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By contrast, Eastern Europe, the Polish Pope said, had reached "a spiritual maturity for which certain important values are less devalued than in the West". He adds: "The main threat which central Europe finds itself facing is that of falling without criticism under the influence of the negative culture so widespread in the West." The highest level of abortion is in the same town/area as the Vatican. No Joke! |
Old-fashioned Catholic 12/08/2005 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 8:20, I think you´re referring to a reported heavenly revelation to St. Faustina: "From Poland will come the spark which will unite the whole world and prepare it for My final Coming." 1) This quote dates from the 1930s, when the Polish republic included parts of Belarus, Ukraine (including Lviw/Lwow), and even Lithuania (including Vilnius/Wilno). So conceivably, the promised spark could come from Lviw in Ukraine or Vilnius in Lithuania. 2) The promised spark could be either good or bad. "Preparation" for the Lord´s final Coming could be either the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the whole world (good), or a world takeover by the Antichrist (bad). |
