The Pope is infallible with regards to matters of Church doctrine. But when it comes to social issues, I believe he is out of his element. Whether someone believes the Pope has strayed into other areas, it doesn't diminish Church doctrine.
He is a man, therefore he is fallible. You are 100% correct! The Pope IS fallible. However, God is real and is infallible!

I don't question the Pope's faith, but his position as final arbiter of all matters pertaining to faith I do reject. I also think that, despite the humble persona he projects, he, like most liberals, loves the adulation that comes with his leftist pronouncements. Being a liberal, especially one of position and power, is easy. Being a conservative, like most things that are worthwhile, can be difficult.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

Being a conservative, far from being honorable or worthwhile, is simply being ruled by fear, greed and hate.
That's basic, primitive human behavior.....instinctive for those at the very bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Nothing less than pathetic.
The Tea Party Movement is pretty much the same as a bowel movement except that it smells worse and has far less in the way of intelligent content.

So you say. I say that of being a liberal. We will have to agree to disagree. I just have never seen liberalism work, in economics or in governance.

Socialism works fine if you enjoy paying 30% to 50% income tax every year. They also have extra special property tax rates and so on. But you already knew that didn't ya.  Socialism has never worked - only know nothing dolts like you keep mouthing about it but still live in the USA. GFY

More to this scripture than meets the eye me thinks. Check out the con job the rich young man tried to lay on Jesus earlier in the dialogue? Anyone see it?
You're wrong in a couple of ways. First off, Jesus didn't say to give all your wealth to ONE POOR GUY. You're changing the meaning of the Bible. Typical Christian maneuver. Second, there was no "con job" laid on Jesus and you have no point......just obfuscation. [/quote] You are wrong in many ways not the least being portions of The 10 Commandments as it regards goods in common and personal property. Maybe even you can figure those few out all by yourself? Then, again, maybe not. The Pope is a pure socialist/liberal wanting YOU to give your money but his and the Churches' is a different matter as in "do as I say, not as I do".

You are welcome to go there, and stay. Many of the advances that enable these nations to function came from the U.S. We are probably an important market for the comparatively meager output from them, and I would bet that we supply a lot of their food. And, oh yes, we did save their bacon in WWII, and they are counting on us to protect them now. Again, we will have to agree to disagree. I have seen numerous posts by you, I understand what you are, and I'm done with you, so you can go ahead and do your "victory" dance.

Easy. He created a wonderful human being such as yourself and gave you the self will to question His very existence. Then, again, maybe He was just joking.

The Pope reminds me of this Dwight Eisenhower speech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chance_for_Peace_speechEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

So how many billions did Ike stash in banks, gold, stocks and real estate?
Im thinking some bombs on ISIS could save some kids.

And, oh yes, we did save their bacon in WWII, Sorry to interupt, but Sweden was neutral in WWII, didn’t fight. Finland fought our “ally” the USSR, for most of the war, with the Germans, then fought the Germans, with the Soviets. Norway was occupied the entire war by the Germans, the Soviets fought some German units in northern Norway, some British raids maybe? Denmark liberated (partially) by the Brits near war’s end, I believe. Not much US action to speak of in those places, maybe some in Denmark.

You may be technically right, but while we may not have had "boots on the ground" in those countries, our role elsewhere freed up others to do the work that needed to be done there. Without us, then and now, they would probably be under German and Russian rule. No way to say for sure, of course, but the point is that when you don't spend much for national defense, you can better afford the government goodies.

Do you have any clue what it costs and what you give up to live in those countries? Because I work with several folks FROM 3 out of 4 of those countries, I do.
