Yep! It replaced into the Bible (generally). I in comparison the memories interior the Bible with all the memories in Greek mythology and different imaginary memories, so, on the age of 9-10 i began out thinking the validity of the "Holy e book". in an prolonged time, I got here to appreciate that I reject the supernatural and have a rationalistic worldview. although that is not in basic terms because of the Bible. I additionally disliked going to church, something I had to do as a favourite college pupil, and that i found that there are additionally different "Holy Books" apart from the Bible. So which one is solid? Then i presumed, why could desire to any of them be good? Strictly talking, i'm not a one hundred% atheist yet an agnostic. although, provided that I evaluate the life of a God very, very unbelievable, almost i'm an atheist. keep in mind that i replaced into shown in basic terms particular components of the Bible while i replaced right into a pupil. those didn' t pass away many questions approximately God' s nature. that is loathsome how the academic gadget in some international locations brainwashes babies interior the call of a God, be it Allah, Jesus Christ or the different deity. I evaluate myself fortunate that i began out thinking all this at a youthful age and prevented unfiltered absorbtion of the propaganda that accompanied in intense college.

"Rule the world"? No. How could he? Does he possess armies or nuclear weapons?
As Joseph Stalin once famously asked, when told the Pope wanted the war to end, "How many battallions does the Pope have?"
Someone who wants to rule the world? Seriously? Wouldn't such a one try to get themselves made leader of a country with a good-sized army and nuclear weapons?

Well, all of Europe and the United States have concordats with the vatican, as does all of South America. So, yes- I'd say he does. The only countries I'm pretty sure that don't have one with the pope are Canada, China, Japan, and North and South Korea.

No.
The mission of the Church is to proclaim and establish the Kingdom of God begun by Jesus Christ among all peoples.
This does not include the Pope ruling the world.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 767-769: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art9.htm#767
With love in Christ.

No, the Pope believes that he rules the world now (with a little help from god). Beware of false prophets, the Bible tells us, for although they present as lambs , they are "ravening wolves". The perfect analogy for catholicism.

He's losing control and trying to regain it. Have you heard his latest speech on how atheists are responsible for all the wrongdoings in the world? Catholicism is losing ground and he is trying to get it back but it's not working.

Spiritually. It is not to rule this temporal world. He may want to rule the world spiritually and morally to make Jesus Christ known to all people.

However the Catholic Church is the biggest land owner in the world.
