  1. No but definitely more pampered.


  2. There are quite a few things in Catholicism that go against biblical teaching. The papal hierarchy is just an example of that.  

  3. All men need to repent of their sin and accept Jesus as their Savior.

  4. No he is as equal as everyone else x

    He is just born into a better position than most



  5. He's an old f**t who thinks he is more blessed and more wise than anyone but his god.  He's supposed to be in touch with his "flock", but has no experience with women and their needs.  He is tacitly an apologist for male abuse of women, and perhaps pedophiles.

    He has no sense of reality, no sense of modern society or it's needs.  Only ancient prejudices based on obsolete societies and false dogmas from Paul.

  6. The Scriptures fall under false prophets, of the Babylonian Pontiff Priesthood of Mount Carmel, a college of the Babylonian priest of Jezebel and continued to this day.    

  7. I guess you could consider his position of power a blessing.

  8. "But YOU, do not YOU be called Rabbi, for one is YOUR teacher, whereas all YOU are brothers. 9 Moreover, do not call anyone YOUR father on earth, for one is YOUR Father, the heavenly One." Matt 23:8,9.

    YOU = Christians = all true followers of Christ.

  9. no, we are all equal in the eyes of God.he will have some explaining to do when he meets God.

  10. No. You should read about the earlier Popes!!

  11. No. The pope is just the leader of a bunch of crazies.  

  12.   I'm glad you asked. I can now copy/paste my little thing that I have.

    It's about a book you should have.

       There is a book that I highly recommend for anyone interested in the Catholic Church or the Papacy. The name of the book is “Vicars of Christ – The Dark Side of the Papacy”. by Peter De Rosa

      Most people think that the Popes were pretty nice people. Wrong!! The Popes down through history have been very evil men capable of murder at the drop of a hat. There have been married Popes, there have been 13 year old Popes, there have been perverted Popes. Some Popes were caught having s*x with another man’s wife so the men killed the Popes involved. Popes have even owned w***e houses to make money for the church.

      For several hundred years there were 2 and then 3 Popes at the same time. Nobody knew who the real Pope was. There was even a time when the church didn't even have a Pope. And then there is the Pope who everyone still thinks was a woman. She had a baby on the way back to the Vatican.

      This book by Peter De Rosa is so interesting and you’ll be glad you read it. Call your local library and ask them for it. If they don’t have it then ask them to order it from one of their branches. If they can’t do that then go to YAHOO and type in “Vicars of Christ” and find someone who will sell it to you. I know Amazon has it. But remember, it’s called  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœVicars of Christ -The Darkside of the Papacy”. There are several other Vicars of Christ out there but this is the one you want. Goooood book!!!


  13. No, he is no better than anyone else.  

  14. No. Also the place that the Catholics try to justify Peter as the first Pope, was actually speaking about Jesus as the Chief Corner Stone, not Peter.

  15. No, he is just the successor of Saint Peter. Jesus established the office of Pope when He made Peter the head of His church when He established it in 33AD

  16. The pope has his selection of little boys..  the others have to take what they are given.

    Not really..  what answer do you want?  He is a catholic figure.  

  17. He considers himself the greatest servant...

    Through Apostlic Succession, the Pope draws his authority from the Primacy of St Peter, the first Pope of Rome.

    Apostilic Succession is well-attributed in the book of Acts, as is St Peter's primacy and power.

    The Papacy is the longest running human institution in the world...I think God would have removed it a long time ago if He didn't think it important...

    EDIT:  I didn't realize murder was an institution devoted to Jesus...forgive my ignorance

  18. A lifetime with an unemployed Johnson?

    No way!

  19. No he is not greater and there is no reason for him to be blessesd seeing that he is guilty of blasphemy.

    The term "vicar" comes from the Latin word vicarius, which means "instead of." In the Catholic Church, the vicar is the representative of a higher ranking official, with all of the same authority and power that that official has. In calling the Pope the "Vicar of Christ," this implies that he has the same power and authority that Christ had over the Church.

    In claiming that the pope is the “vicar of Christ,” the Catholic church rejects the sufficiency and supremacy of Christ’s priesthood, and grants to the pope roles that Christ Himself declared would belong to the Holy Spirit. It is therefore blasphemy to ascribe to the Pope the title of “vicar of Christ.”

  20. >>Also...where is the pope in Scripture?<<

    "Pope", which means "papa", is just a title of the successor of Peter. The Apostles have successors, because, in the words of Peter himself, “For it is written in the book of Psalms, `Let his habitation become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it'; and `His office let another take.'” (Acts 1:20)

  21. Ignoramus grandissimus,

    why you gotta be

    hatin' on the cathlics

    ALWAYS????!!!

  22. You have it all correct. The pope is nothing but a human just like you and I.  

  23. He is not greater than anybody else. He is just one of us except he is the leader of the Catholic Church. He lives a rich life style, this being one of the difference.  

  24. no, he is not. in fact, any church that uses honorary titles is directly disobeying jesus command at Matt. 23:6-9.

  25. No. Not in my book.

  26. that would depend on the pope

    some popes opposed the gospel,  burned translators of the Bible,  shed the bood of the saints.  The last two are strong on some theological points  but abuysmmally embraced theistic evolution which is not orthodox in any way shape or form

    Jesus did say  some hwo are first will be last and last shall be first.

  27. The office of Pope is just another of the crazy trappings of 'christianity'. Inside the robes, he's just another person, like all the rest of us. The current one, of course, used to be a n**i.

  28. Not that you are really interested in an honest answer....

    No.

    I think there are two big problems with the perception that people have regarding the respect Catholics have for their leaders. The first is historical. Much of the ceremony associated with church leaders has been passed down to us from an age where EVERYONE got more respect than we customarily give now. It wasn't even a generation ago when even average people weren't called my their first names because it was too familiar. If you go back a few more generations you enter an age where leaders were accorded far more physcial gestures of respect than we do today. You bowed to kings. You bowed to nobility. And nobody considered it worship. It was simply a matter of respect. The Catholic church has hung onto these gestures of respect long after most have abandoned them. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing.

    Second, I have found that part of the problem non-Catholics have with the respect we pay to non-divine entities stems very much from their definition of worship. Protestants tend to define anything that shows up in their morning worship services as worship. Sing a song...worship. Study the Bible...worship. Pray....worship. Worship is what THEY define it to be and so they look at anything Catholics do and say "Well if we did that it would be worship. They do that...therefore it's worship." What they don't understand, what they don't have, is the Mass which is worship as Jesus defined it. "Do this in remembrance of me." Because they don't worship Jesus ENOUGH, they tend to look at Catholics and say that we worship statues, and saints, and whatever, because they have been robbed of TRUE worship they confuse worship and respect.

    Catholics do not “worship” the Pope. They never have and no “Catholic” ever will because if one ever does, that person would cease being a Catholic. We Catholics “worship” Almighty God, alone. We revere the Pope as the visible head of the Church on earth. We do not worship him. "  You are exactly right! Look at what Martin Luther created...all of you split up and fragmented, because of a Man.

    It's very obvious you have no clue about it. You should read something besides the chick tracts..

  29. No!  We are all equal in the eyes of God.  No one is greater or more powerful, no one.

    The first shall be last and the last shall be first...according to the Father of us all.

  30. the pope is here ----------------->

    while you are down here -------->

    deal with it.

  31. ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I'm not catholic, but I know that we are all God's children and God doesn't love the pope anymore than he loves you and me!!!
