Just for Clarity Regarding the Pope

Yeah, not really. We are also the kind that shows up for Christmas and Easter. The Northern Episcopal church is actually become very liberal over the years. I grew up in the South - more traditional, but a far cry from catholicism.

Beautiful churches, to be sure, lol

A long time high school buddy is married to an Episcopal lady and he says they’re just Catholics who throw better cocktail parties.

I think Catholics are by far the best consumers of alcohol as far as that goes.......

That and add that I’m Irish, and I probably account for some alcohol distributor’s bonus

Hold my beer. 😎

You mean your mead?

Touche.

Here’s what happened in Iceland after Marines and sailors drank all the beer in town

It’s not uncommon during deployment for Marines and sailors to get into a bit of trouble when ships pull into port in for a bit of down time.

Certainly mead is an option when one drinks a country dry….. but there is the 3 week or so fermenting time to overcome. Plus the added hassle of making sure some random butterbar doesn’t find it

1 Timothy 2:
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Not the Pope, not a priest, not the church, not Mary, nor any saints.

There is no Vicar and no Co-Redemptrix. Jesus alone is the forgiver of sin and the redeemer kinsmen. His name means salvation.

Irish Catholics maybe. But there are 1.3 Billion Catholics on Planet Earth and the Irish are a small part of that total.

Thanks. I bet you think we worship fake idols and don’t accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, right?

When a new arrival showed up in heaven, St. Peter agreed to give him a tour. They started down the hallway and there were various areas and rooms- all beautiful and occupied by happy souls.
At the end of the hallway was a quiet room occupied by solemn souls. The new arrival asked “Who are these people?” St. Peter said “This is reserved for the Baptists. They’re convinced they’re the only ones here”.
See you in Paradise, sir.

2 catholic roommates in college, a boss, next door neighbor and a cousin. I liked JPII. I am sure there will be many Catholics in heaven.

Not just Irish....N American Catholics are no slouches. Irish may be the best...but as far as organized religions go...my bet is on the Catholics as far as ability to consume alcohol!

How hard is it to forget Groper Joe sharted in front of the Pope?

Biden probably thought it was his own funeral.

Pope Francis wrote this in this while in the hospital. Dirty commie!

“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis

Yup.

“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...

No, theyve heard more desperate prayer.

A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...

Ive always found this offensive.

Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.

Says the guy that doesn't have to deal with any of that.

Likely written by AI. AI often uses double dashes, humans rarely do.

I plugged it into Grok and it couldn't say definitively, saying it would lean toward a human wrote this, then added 'It's a coin toss'.

But emotional appeals always sucker the libs when it comes to stories like this.

 

[G8trDad3]

Ok. I apologize. That quote, while well written and truthful was probably not written by the pope. My sister, usually a reliable source, sent it to me and I had not checked the source before sharing.
