I feel sorry for the poor souls who believe in it all. They are to be pitied.
And yet you do seem to have great difficulty ignoring it

And believe me none of us need your pity, me and the rest of the 1.2billion Catholics are quite happy in our Faith. And I for one am more than happy with the Cardinals choice of Pope.

Far, far too soon to pass that judgment on him Mall darlin'. We won't know what his objectives are for several months and whether, even if those objectives are laudible, if they can be deflected by the other 'conservative' cardinals.

Re: Chosen.

Religion is often simply an accident of birth and a lot of us have rejected it as meaningless.

I was brought up in a culture that believed catholicism was next door to satan! However, I had quite a number of 'catholic' friends and colleagues, and as far as I could see, none of them gave a toss about the church's teachings.

I have to admit my interest has been piqued by this person - they also said on the news that he will make many changes at the Vatican so I hope those who were party to the coverups are worrying whether or not their cushy ride is coming to an end. Given that the Church is reputed to be the wealthiest organisation on Earth, I would laugh my socks off if he gave the whole lot away to charity - then I'd pat him on the back and say 'well done'.

That's quite true but then there are those of us that do.

Re: Chosen.

Wondered when that would be said hugely disrespectful to anyone of Faith. Something I expect from a 15 year old trying to shock not a grown adult who should know how to respect others while living happily along side them.

Pay no heed Julie - we all have a right to our own beliefs, whatever they might be. If others don't understand you, all you can do is try to explain and if that fails, there's not much else you can do.

I feel quite sorry for you - you're taking a bit of a battering on here at the moment.<hug>
