Folks, I've not heard this before, that faith, genuine faith is tied -- I mean, I know about tithing, don't misunderstand me here. I'm not a neophyte. But I've never heard it put this way. If Christians don't dig deep and generously open their wallets, they do not have genuine faith, and that's in quotes, genuine faith is in quotes. So people's faith in God, religious faith is now, according to the Vicar of Christ, directly related to how wide open their wallets are.

I'm not a neophyte.

Rush, if you are actually shocked that the leader of the largest christian denomination in the world says the rich should give more then you truly are a neophyte.

I wish the Pope would just shut up with all his moral and spiritual mumbo jumbo and just stick to science.

He isn't shocked about anything. His shrinking fan base is white Protestant. He's just doing what he does best, pandering to his audience--who by the way will be utterly unaware of the irony of being shocked by a religion that asks for money.

I don't like to disagree with my good friend ksen, but Limbaugh is correct: he is not neophyte but a neofascist.

I stand corrected by my good friend LD.

Damn it pope, stop making me like you.

Yep, dude is so right about so much:

“Since everything is interrelated, concern for the protection of nature is also incompatible with the justification of abortion. How can we genuinely teach the importance of concern for other vulnerable beings, however troublesome or inconvenient they may be, if we fail to protect a human embryo, even when its presence is uncomfortable and creates difficulties? ‘If personal and social sensitivity towards the acceptance of the new life is lost, then other forms of acceptance that are valuable for society also wither away,'”

“Learning to accept our body, to care for it and to respect its fullest meaning, is an essential element of any genuine human ecology. Also, valuing one’s own body in its femininity or masculinity is necessary if I am going to be able to recognize myself in an encounter with someone who is different. In this way we can joyfully accept the specific gifts of another man or woman, the work of God the Creator, and find mutual enrichment. It is not a healthy attitude which would seek ‘to cancel out sexual difference because it no longer knows how to confront it.’”

Plus, he talks to god and big hats and robes are really the way to go fashion-wise.
