I agree that the Church needs to modernize and that its actions are hurting the planet.

I might go a touch further by calling Ratzinger (since I refuse to call him by his illegitimate title as "Holy See" and other such blasphemous titles) a fraud as a Christian who's Church doctrine perverts the Good News and uses the Bible only to further their dogmatic agenda. <BR/><BR/>Statements like these really makes me wonder why Protestant churches have reconciliation meetings with the Catholic Church if they're really going to stand behind this decrepit old man.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984468805919067190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-63843509351551142732007-07-12T17:51:00.000-06:002007-07-12T17:51:00.000-06:00I have been to several Roman Catholic masses in th...I have been to several Roman Catholic masses in the last year, including one at Notee Dame in Paris.<BR/>No more.<BR/>Good post, Nexus.Lemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958806770271996092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-63497654868015981532007-07-11T23:06:00.000-06:002007-07-11T23:06:00.000-06:00Pope Benedict XVI has provoked controversy by appr...<I>Pope Benedict XVI has provoked controversy by approving a 10 July Church document that denounces all other Christian faiths as essentially illegitimate.</I><BR/><BR/>Sort of reminiscent of the IPCC on Climate Change issues.John Nicklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466423012662670782noreply@blogger.com
