LORENZAGO DI CADORE, Italy - Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.
Benedict approved a document from his old offices at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that restates church teaching on relations with other Christians. It was the second time in a week the pope has corrected what he says are erroneous interpretations of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that modernized the church.

"Benedict approved a document from his old offices at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith." This is the outfit that was responsible for burning hundreds of thousands at the stake in the Dark Ages. Just what we need , more religious hate. NOT!!!!

Pastor Billy says: see my response to the following question

Pope: "Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches".

BTW which Inquisition are you eluding a return to? ,the Jewish version (read Deuteronomy), the Lutheran ones, the English Protestant ones, the Puritan American ones, the Fascist inquisition, the Communist inquisitions how about the current day secular atheist 'lets control the media and all thought' version ...

Also buddy there was no Dark Ages inquisition associated with the Catholic Church perhaps you should take a history course.

NO, through fact it rather is unlikely that the spanish inquisition will reoccur. regardless of the undeniable fact that a various form of "inquisition" i think will happen call it the "sabbath inquisition". good now there's a technologies called NRF a micro chip used to hint something combining gps & radio waves. evaluate this and contemporary evolving economic risk-free practices controls: identity photos, digital fingerprinting and so on. on the fabulous time all this may well be intergrated and a more desirable NRF chip will emerge. With one test your enitire profile - own, education, economic and criminal checklist may well be retrieved. actual forex would be out of date. A forex like e dollars would be used. without the chip you at the instant are not on radar and are "lifeless" Does this sound familear - mark of the beast. Then while secular powers and spiritual establishments marry like they did while the papacy became shaped there'll be an inquisition like by no skill considered before. the authentic sabbath, Saturday, is aready stomped upon and somebody who stands for the authentic faith would be persecuted like in the days of Huss and Jerome worldwide huge giving upward thrust to a clean worldwide Order. The chip would be used to locate all and sundry everywhere. Media will call those human beings "terrorist" a threat to the NWO, which may well be authentic through fact reality an enemy of deceit. look into the conflict in the middle east they're being purged as Islam is the only different faith with a great following competing with christianity. the worldwide is watching as that's happening. FYI i'm not moslem or a conspiracy theorist yet as a believer of the untainted authentic faith - that's Jehovah is the author and his son the be conscious nicely-called Jesus the christ in human form got here to maintain the worldwide and the authentic sabbath is on saturday for there is no info in the scriptures that this ever replaced. The sunday( First day of the week ( day of RAH aka sungod the pagan god the pagans pray to as this became and nonetheless is their holy day) we are delivered approximately watch is " the beast sitting in the holy place" and that's an abonimation to the authentic god Jehovah. The determining ingredient of this inquisition often is the sabbath and in spite of in case you have confidence Jesus is a guy or a GOD. ARE you waiting FOR THIS?

This isn't a new church policy; the Catholic church has always asserted its primacy. All the pope is doing is reasserting it, as it clearly says in the very quote you copied and pasted. In other words--nothing new. And certainly nothing as ridiculous as a new inquisition.

As the world's largest cult, and a tyrannical and dictatorial one, it's responsible for countless TENS of millions of deaths down through history, and they were even buddies with Hitler. One of the most potentially dangerous entities on the face of the earth -- and probably destined to be the religious arm of the Anti-Christ.

Ah yes. A church that re-invents itself to bring more members yet still represents an un-changing God. You know, God, the self-paternalizing Jewish Zombie that can purify you if you telepathically accept him as your Savior and remove the blight of the original sin committed by the woman created from the rib of a man made of dirt who was convinced to eat fruit by a talking snake. Yeah, that God. If you're real nice to his buddies, the saints, they might telepathically contact him on your behalf from the grave. Ludicrous.

Yes, Benedict used to be the head of the Holy Office of the Inquisition until he became Pope.

To Everyday Catholic,

Yep, just like the Islam situation on his German university speech a year and a half back. Funny how history repeats itself and things are out of context.

That is right on time according to prophecy, no matter who is right or who is wrong, still mistakes are made more often by man than by any other creature in the world. Could that have anything to do with the abomination of desolations?

Where have you been on this site? Talk about hate? All I do practically is ward off blows against the Catholic Church nonstop and now this? This is not a new developement. The hate has been coming from the Protestants not the Catholics.

Oh, the Catholics are NOT anything to worry about with their concern for their imagine. They are light years BEHIND other major religions in the world. For example, look was is in today's news:

Jamshidi didn't elaborate on how the stoning was carried out, but under Islamic rulings, a male convict is usually buried up to his waist while a female criminal is buried up to her neck with her hands also buried.

Those carrying out the verdict start throwing stones and rocks at the convict until he or she dies.

International human rights groups have long condemned stoning in Iran as a "cruel and barbaric" punishment.

Earlier Tuesday before Iran confirmed the stoning, U.N. human rights chief Louise Arbour condemned the execution, her spokesman said.

"The execution has apparently gone ahead despite Iran's moratorium on execution by stoning, a moratorium that had been in effect since 2002," said Jose Diaz of U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.

"Stoning is in clear violation of international law," Diaz said Tuesday in Geneva. He said Arbour considered stoning to be a form of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment that is prohibited under an international treaty which Iran has signed.

Also Tuesday in Norway, the Foreign Ministry said Iran's ambassador was summoned by Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere to protest the stoning.

Gahr Stoere was "deeply upset" that the death penalty had been carried out and called stoning an "inhumane and barbaric method of punishment," Foreign Ministry spokesman Frode Andersen said in Oslo.

The reported execution comes two weeks after international pressure, including protests from Norway, caused Iranian officials to delay carrying out the sentence against Kiani and his female companion, Mokarrameh Ebrahimi, who also was sentenced to death by stoning. It was not known if a date had been set for her execution.

The couple had reportedly been imprisoned for 11 years.

Stoning was widely imposed in the early years after the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the pro-Western Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and brought hard-line clerics to power.

and

Ghazi and his brother Abdul Aziz, the mosque's chief cleric, had been using the mosque as a base to send out radicalized students to enforce their version of Islamic morality, including abducting alleged prostitutes and trying to "re-educate" them at the mosque.

Khalid Pervez, the city's top administrator, said as many as 50 women were the first to be freed by the militants and had emerged from the complex following the escape of 26 children.

Could you imagine if a priest did these things? There would actually be outrage by Catholics instead of the silent agreement of Muslims.
