"According to Catholic doctrine, these Communities do not enjoy apostolic succession in the sacrament of Orders, and are, therefore, deprived of a constitutive element of the Church. These ecclesial Communities which, specifically because of the absence of the sacramental priesthood, have not preserved the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic Mystery (19) cannot, according to Catholic doctrine, be called "Churches" in the proper sense "

Or something else ( I missed the speech)

Theists control the planet, in other words, atheists live under theist rules, laws, etc. The money they spend has on it In God We Trust. They live under a Constitution which got its ideas from the law of Moses. I see it that if they had any "proof" then they would control the planet, not the theists. Obviously theists know how to rule and keep control of the earth. Yes.
My question? Do you think after 6,000 years of theist rule is it hopeless to think that athiests will ever get it? Is there hope for them because they seem to be blind to reality?
Why do they continue when thousands of years of theist rule should have given them at least a clue?

Stop listening to everything Protestants and the news say. The news wants to make money off of a story. The pope is simply restating church doctrine that has existed for hundreds of years. He is not saying Protestants go to hell. Read what he actually said here:

First, the old pope says that jews and muslims are brothers and that evolution is correct, and now the pope is saying that catholicism is the only way and to go back to the traditional beliefs. Not to mention this is the same church that used to persecute and kill noncatholics in the inquistion and the crusades.

.... can you name ANY atheist groups or individuals who have killed other people in the name of Atheism alone (i.e., not simply in the name of a rigid ideology that also denies theism)?

How about Skepticism? Agnosticism? Deism?

(Communism doesn't count, because even though Communists are atheistic, they also teach dogmatic ideologies that justify warfare on the basis of Communist principles, not atheism itself.)

that all Protestants aren't saved?

The prophecy of St. Malachy (which is not universally recognized as being a true prophecy) claims that the very next Pope, who will be named Peter, will lead the Catholic Church through the Tribulation. A summary of the prophecy can be read here: http://www.catholic-pages.com/grabbag/malachy.asp

Could it be that Pope Benedict XVI believes this prophecy and feels inspired to warn Protestants that the Tribulation is close? I'm not a Catholic, so I can't pretend to know, but his approach seems vastly different from Pope John Paul II's -- I still remember him kissing the Koran and encouraging interfaith communications.

(For those of you who aren't aware of this recent controversy, here's an article on the Pope's recent signing of a document that formally states Protestants are going to Hell: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56612 )

Quote from the article from Ms. Lopez :
"I know that the Constitution says freedom of speech, but what about my freedom as a parent to not want [my children] to read about abortion and homosexuality in their school library."

Ms. Lopez can do whatever she likes with her own children, but they are not the only ones who use that school library. What about the other children? She will be infringing upon the rights of other children and their parents by removing those books.


It's one thing to decide what you will let your children read. It's wrong to try and make that decision for other people's children.

He released a document stating that other Christian denominations are not the true path to salvation. Why does the Pope feel a need to create conflict? Who cares if you are Protestant or whatever. Isn't believing in God a good thing? Why does he feel a need to flex his relgious muscles? I'd wish he'd shut up already.
