Re: The pope is resigning
Replace Christianity with Islam and now you will see how dangerous that sounds to everyone else. You know its funny, but only radical Catholics and evangelicals use such rhetoric.Originally Posted by Marie Louise von Preussen
Secularism on the way out? Liberal agenda? Your rhetoric sounds more like the kind of intolerance so many have fought and sacrificed their lives to protect against since the dark ages of Catholic supremacy in Europe. Without this 'secular' thing called science you wouldn't have any of the modern comforts which you enjoy. Your church had for a 1000 years a noose around the neck of Europe and tried to do the same in America. The US has long since told Rome to shove it, Mexico and Latin America are more and more drifting further away from church traditions and ideals - every year. We are seeing such blasphemies as transsexuals and homosexuals tolerated as well women whom have kids of wedlock not treated with utter contempt down there. All these things your church preaches against. Yet you don't see us 'secularist liberals' calling for your rights to be stripped or make any attempt to prevent you from teaching yourself to believe in certain 'traditions' which have more in common with medieval papal bulls than they do with the original Christian church. You may not yourself call for atheism/agnosticism or for political secularism to be stamped out, but many of your elders in your very wealthy club do.
