    There is really nothing "goulish" about it.
    That is a matter of opinion.
    And as far as miracles attributed to Santa Pope? Give me a break.

    We don't deride one another's faiths here

    unless the faith is Islam or Socialism.

    Sorry Y'all but the Pope is not Jesus.....I don't equate the two as equal. I did like John Paul but he is just the messenger of the Father

    I have to agree with Easy......kinda creeps me out and I am Catholic.
    Tread carefully when walking on others freedoms because yours are on the same path.

    To dig a guy up 5 years after he died and put the coffin back on display and then to have vials of his blood, hair and other 'relics' to pray over...well, if goulish isn't the right word then at least it's in the ballpark.

    I'm suspect of any "religion" that alludes to its CEO, past or present, as having mystical healing powers. Flesh and bone, same as all the rest of us. There's only one Healer, and He never resided in the Vatican... nor would He have.
    Impeach the Kenyan!

    Thank you for sharing your opinion.

    Well I guess that includes Christiainty in general then:

    In II Kings 13:20-21 God uses Elisha's bones to bring back someone from the dead. In Acts God uses Peter's shadow to perform miraculous cures (5:15-16) and God uses handkerchiefs that have touched Paul to do the same (19:11-12). And a woman was healed of her hemorrhage by touching the hem of Jesus's cloak.
