Why do people love Diana?
Why do people love British Royalty?

Same as why they love the pope... out of ignorant love for dazzling display of wealth and power in Vatican and the fine clothes worn by the hierarchy.

Jesus said nothing about popes, but Catholics just distorted the passage in the bible where Jesus says "You are Peter (rock in greek) and I will build my church upon you.". They took this as meaning that Peter is the first Pope, so that some all-powerful bishop can justify why he is more richer and more powerful than other Christians by declaring that he "succeeded" Peter, thus a Pope.

Forgot his name, but a Medieval pope was so debauched that women praying in Rome dared not enter the Church where he resided.

I oppose the Pope because he tries to interfere in Abortion issues... I have no hatred towards normal Catholics.

Of course he did just read Zuchaboah 12:14-15

"And verily I say unto you, there shallt be a man with a righteous hat that commands all peoples to do good deeds."

Well not literally a pope but I think that its the meaning of that.

Catholic, Coptic and whom else? Tahwedo?

how the hell do you know the biblical message isnt already distorted?  If you cant otlerate that kind of questioning it makes having any sort of discussion hard.

And the concept of Pope seems to have done more harm then good over the ages.

What the devil is Zuchaboah? I was never aware that there was an apostle with a name as devilish as Zuchaboah...

By "Catholics" I mean the church leaders that made up this theory. Just like when one says "Japanese comitted Rape of Nanking." - dosn't mean every Japanese did it.

Hmm... Rightous man in rightous hat. That could be Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mullah Omar, Bin Laden or anyone else who ever wore a hat and called himself rightous. I am going to be Pope Evildoer I because I just wore a hat and called myself rightous... All Hail!

Perhaps you are easily distracted by shiny objects like a child.

How can you compare religious leaders to murderous and ambicious Medieval political leaders? You just contradicted yourself describing pope as "rightous" in the previous post.

Popes went to Avignon not because of some Italian duke/doge but because of King of France sacked Rome and dragged them there - because they didn't want him to tax the clergy. Vive le Roi!

I dont particularly like Ghenghis Khan (great warrior and leader, but not a great person), and i realllllly dislike English royalty. Add them in!

How do you know they're distortions did you write the book.

Whats wrong with uniting people under a common faith? Also the inquisition was relatively tame contrary to popular belief, in fact many spaniards commited heresy so they could go to inquisition prisons instead of the secular jails. Oh and more secular witch burnings occured than church sponsered ones.

I also find it deplorable that you would associate all christians with fascists, monarchists and Ku Klux Klansmen.

...........so the correlation is christianity is communist and evil?

Mass genocide doesn't make you a dictator now?

uh...........that was a joke.......reason I made it a different post....and that's my reply to all related statements.

?

So was Hitler, does being democratically elected remove dictatorship.

I'm confused please help enlighten me, are you saying that the catholic leadership considers only the roman catholic church to be the original church of Christ?

That doesn't make it all right to bash the faith and leadership of a fellow christian.

The Tahwedo shurch has a patriarch. The Orthodox Church of Alexandria (not Coptic) is presided over by the 'Pope and Patriarch of all Africa'. Tragically, he died a few days ago.
