so you know more than the pope?

[Gregory Thompson]

I first thought of Santa Claus when I saw the pope sitting on a throne in that picture.

Some versions of Santa Claus are dressed up like a priest dressed in white with a staff that kinda looks pope like .

Is that a sin?

There is the law .. and then the fulfillment of the law . it's good to keep the two concept separate .

 

[DiligentlySeekingGod]

not sure, i get flashes of some one adorned with all sorts of jewelery when you ask it . but with all the controversy not completely certain .

I thought thrones were meant for someone royal, like a king or queen. Hm...

She who sits as queen, not widow, never mourns

Matt 12:42 "A Queen of the south shall be being roused in the judging with the generation, this, and shall be condemning it.
That She came out of the ends of the land to hear the Wisdom of Solomon and behold! more of Solomon here!"

Revelation 18:7 As much as She glorifies herself and indulges, be giving to Her tormenting and mourning.
That in Her heart she is saying 'I am sitting a Queen and widow not I am and mourning not I shall be seeing'.

It's not what's known, it's who. We both kno Jesus, so I'd say it's pretty even for all concerned.

There have been some theologians that "knew more" then some popes.

Ave-Maria,

I am not a Catholic nor am I of any denomination; I'm just a Christian.

I just wanted to say that I don't like to see people post threads that openly challenge the Catholic faith, the Pope, or the Church. It is in poor taste for any Christian to do that, and it reveals his/her lack of the Father's love.

What needs to happen; as I'm sure it will, is that like-minded Christians need to come to the defense of the Catholics when they see one of those sarcastic threads. The Catholics would accomplish a great deal if they completely ignored those threads. The person writing them does not care what you tell him - he wants you to be on the defense and explain yourself.

Anyway, I guess I wanted to let you know that I and most posters I know would not do that.

Be blessed today, in Jesus name.

I agree with much of this post, but sadly throughout most of the RCC history they been on the giving end more then the receiving.

You know, all the credentials you gave for the Pope, you neglected the most important one. How often does he read his bible? That's the only thing that matters.

So how many people we got know more than the pope? Enough to throw a party?

It's a biggy for sure, but not the only thing is it?

Hmmm. I say let's party regardless!

I have a feeling he reads it more than a large amount of people, especially if you read his books he's published and the enormous amount of education he's had.. He's published many books on things like Jesus's Life, theology, eschatology, doctrine and dogma, scriptural exegesis. Quite funny when you compare it to these people who brag they know more than everyone else regarding scripture and then go dumbfaced when you talk to them about the operation of grace or the hypostatic union or the nature's of Christ's subsistence.

Reading the bible is the only thing that matters in Christianity? This is a wonderful example of how sola scriptura and bible-lism gives a severely limited view of Christianity and can desperately hurt missionary work and charity. There are so many more things with regards to charity, almsgiving, caring for widows and poor, social justice, patristics, moral and dogmatic theology, homilies, politics, abortion, Church history and tradition, and spreading the Good news to unknown lands with missionaries, etc. Reading the bible, which is a collection of books(not one book like biblicists think) has a very important part in christianity, but it sure isn't the only sole thing.

What or how much the pope knows is of very little consequence to me.
