Well, they should do more to teach the word of God rather than their own doctrine just as Jesus asked the Pharisees; why do you overstep the commandments of God for the sake of your traditions? Did not Jesus say?, that there would be those calling themselves Christians who where doing powerful works in Christ's name, expelling demons in his name, prophesying in Jesus' name, yet Jesus will say to them get away from me you workers of lawlessness(sinners). For what is sin but lawlessness.

Very true indeed. Deceit is at the very heart of the church. All anyone need do it read the bible and compare it to what is taught in the church to see what the deceptions are. Sunday worship is one of the biggest ones there are. And they admit to being the ones that changed it and most of the major churches follow in their steps. Bible says the Seventh day, not the first or day of the Sun, a pagan day. Forgiveness of sin by the priest but Jesus is the true priest and only One that has that power. As for violent, look at the dark days, look it up and see what they did to people that did not believe as they told them to, and it will come again very soon too.

Speaking as a person who isn't a crusader or a catholic, I would say the way I live my life now is great, and if the Catholic church was involved in that; great.
Right now though, whatever they are doing they can sort it out, cause I don't want to get involved.

blaming modern Catholics for the wars of the past is like blaming modern white people for slavery.
every culture has had a violent history. Europe, Asia, Africa, MidEast, Americas. I think it's time for people to move on. studying history is great, but throwing it up to people every time they criticize something going on right now, that's a different story.
that's the same logic of, you smoked pot as a teen, so you can't tell your kids not to do it.
no one is perfect. but there comes a point when we should able to call out bad people. otherwise, the cycle will just keep going. you really really think the world's problems will be solved by Christians not criticizing Muslims?

And they've been doing what? Recent history shows the Catholic Church to be in opposition of war, and human injustice. We could all come up with things that all kinds of groups have been guilty of in the past, but what's the point? When actions have been changed then progress has been made, so what are they so guilty of in current times??

Let's compare today with today. Is there an inquisition today? No. Are there camps training mujahideen today? Yes.
I am so tired of tolerating other people's BS in the name of diversity. The Pope is a leader of his group. His job is to lead. His folowers can chose to follow or not. He wouldn't be doing is job if he didn't speak out.

Since 5 Christian churches have already been fire bombed, the eye for an eye people have already been at work.
Violence and religion don't mix. The pope's point in fact.

as far as I my self I am concern???, the catholic Church is the will of God. and no one have deceived no one, The Pope isn't a deceiver, don't you think that his position will ask and sometimes he will feel force and becomes his responsibility at least to Catholics, and Catholicism, to say something?, specially while that something can be related to the way's of Humanity, Humanism, and the entire Human World?.
