42	X-san Mon 5/12/2008 9:44p	Well, I would venture to say it works better than joining a cult, anyway. ;) It actually has nothing to do with "smart", really. In fact, quite the opposite. The issue most people have with their bad habits (and, of course, ME TOO) is that they overthink things.
43	jdub Mon 5/12/2008 10:18p	SO much judgementalosity out here-- "Yes, it IS like a drug!" "No, it ISN'T like a drug!" If it isn't for you, great; if it is for you over there, best wishes--but let's not throw down our subjective proclamations, aiiight? After all, the pope was just speaking for himSELF when he said that, right? "I STATEMENTS," people!
44	X-san Mon 5/12/2008 10:23p	***After all, the pope was just speaking for himSELF when he said that, right?*** Excuse me? You couldn't be further from reality there j, the guy claims to speak as the voice of god.
45	RoadTrip Mon 5/12/2008 10:39p	<<the guy claims to speak as the voice of god.>> The guy speaks as the voice of the Catholic Church. Big difference.
46	X-san Mon 5/12/2008 11:34p	I know that. I said that's what they claim (and they do, don't they? infallible on matters of faith and morals and all that?). So you can hardly call that the pope speaking "only" for himself.
47	X-san Mon 5/12/2008 11:35p	Thus making his inane statements all the more shameful and immoral, since people, MILLIONS of people, fear going to hell and believe that the only way to please god is to do as the pope tells them to. Shameful.

I, a few posts back, explained the conditions necessary to have the Pope speak for the CHURCH. If someone thinks that is the voice of god, well, they have the ability to be sold ocean front condo's in Arizona. Given many think that the Church and God are the same, but, I don't think it has ever been stated that was the case. The Pope is a job that comes with a responsibility to have studied situations, interpreted scripture and basically attempt to determine the churches stance on many issues. Unless, upon becoming Pope he is given an 800 number to God's private phone, (although I'm pretty sure he/she has a cell by now) (can you hear me now?) he can only hope that God has his back. Until it gets signed into law it is mere opinion and the Pope can only hope that his opinion is respected enough to be followed.

Maybe it's because he's an incredibly powerful and wealthy monarch (few people seem to realize that). Whatever it is, his "opinion" counts a great deal, and he should be more careful with his shameful and harmful proclaimations.
