BullDurham Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Ratzinger, is that the guy who belongs to Opus Dei? Yeah, if he is, I'd be afraid, too (and I'm not even Catholic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Texan Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 and how would that be? what's driving the church back to the 1tth century to you? 746494[/snapback] nothing yet.  granted right now the church is somewhere in the 14th century.  but with ratzinger being more hardcore conservative than jp II he will drive the church backwards in terms of modernity.

orisha Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 but what do you call modernity and the church being in the 14th century? how will he take it back to the 11th century. in other words, what factual attitudes do you think make the church be stuck in midevil times.

CapeFish Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 It has been ruled that betting on the Pope is an instant excommunication. If you don't get caught by the church then it is just between you and the man upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orisha Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 nothing wrong with the rituals. adds a sense of history, continuity, importance. Â about birth control, what's wrong with it? if people don't want to get inffected with HIV and other sex transmitted viruses then they shouldn't be sleeping around and only have sex with the person they are married with. they wouldn't have any problems if they did that.

PhxPhin Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 yep ... i feel blessed everytime someone has more kids than they can support I love the thought process behind NFP, where using a thermometer to get a reading from inside a woman every day, and then charting it and scheduling all activity around this chart and then hoping that there are not mishaps is more acceptable than just wearing a condom both techniques are designed to prevent sperm from hitting a fertile egg, both are relatively safe ... but one is deemed wrong for some unknown reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
