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.
being raised catholic i can say that they are weird,i switched
John Paul was a very much loved pope,i have to give him his props
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.
"Christianity began as a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When it went to Athens, it became a philosophy. When it went to Rome, it became an organization. When it went to Europe, it became a culture. When it came to America, it became a business."
Look I will make you guys a deal ..... Let this tread die and I will not comment on your False Prophet worship thread ok ?
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.
satanic is more like it

No one said the Pope is Jssus, and certainly not the Catholic Church. So, as a Catholic I am puzzled by such words being said by another Catholic.
I am neither creeped out, embarrassed or afraid of the Catholic Church's use of relilcs.
The use of relics has been a part of christianity since the beginning. The problem is, we are now so divorced from the common exeprience of death that was the lot of man, what used to be well understood now seems strange.
I will try to bring up some of the pictures of the Saints who died hundreds of years ago and whose bodies are still incorrupt.St Bernadete of Lourdes is incorrupt ,she still has rosy red cheeks and looks as if she is just sleeping.God uses this as a sign that he will be true to his promise of the ressurrection of the body.jk
