Any Pope from the United States would be bad for the Church in the U.S. Non-Catholics find the pressuring of office holders by bishops who withhold Sacraments very disgusting. The cartoons which appeared during the candidacies of Al Smith and John Kennedy showing a wicked looking Pope holding the strings of a marionnette in the image of the Catholic politician will return. Young people hold a dim view of the Church’s involvement in issues such as birth control and same gender marriage.

Sadly, the Catholic Church, and many Protestant denominations, spend too much effort pushing their beliefs on others rather than simply leading an exemplary life.

It’s their job. Their job is to win souls. And that’s not just being lovey-dovey and “inclusive” but also proclaiming moral absolutes.
 
I have this gut feeling it will be today. Not that I want it to be that fast. I don’t. The longer they take, the better it will be.

But, don’t worry. I’ve been wrong before. Many. times. :cool:
 
I hope the seagull isn’t a sign that a Franciscan Cardinal is going to get the nod. If he is okay with Ted Kennedy getting a Public Catholic Funeral then I wonder how he will govern the church in matters related to abortion.
 
Cardinal Pell. Something about the man. He has a sense of destiny about him. He exudes strength and confidence. I think it very well could him. I hope so.
 
Been watching that seagull; it taps on the top of the chimney. Obviously signals being sent. All the sweeping for bugs and banning of cell phones are for naught. Cheating going on!! 😉 :clapping:

How does one follow from the other? :confused:

Cardinal Scola’s coat of arms has a sailing ship, so seagulls…😉
