    Comment from that article...

    “… Sgt. First Class Jason Holmes then approached the subject, a fight ensued and the Sgt. was forced to tase him. He is described as a Middle Eastern man, approximately 5’9″ tall, 200lbs, with long curly brown hair, and beard. The unnamed individual is currently being held without bail pending investigation.”

    Sounds about right! :(

    Don't they pretty much all get that eventually? My problem is, I work miracles like that, I wanna see the love shown while I'm still alive.

    Not for about three hundred years.There was a big gap before Pius X.Most of the papal saints are the initial Bishops of Rome. Most of them are martyrs.

    He certainly wasn't. Infallibility has been used very very rarely.

    @argentine soccer fan , you really REALLY need to change the "meet the new pope" part of the thread title.

    As a purely political matter, it'll be a big BIG deal in American politics if the Church loosens its stance on birth control. Obviously.

    Since a majority of American Catholics routinely ignore the church's stance on birth control, it may not be that big of a deal.

    As a Catholic, I don't want to jinx it. Adding a question mark or two at the end of the title should suffice.

    Well San Lorenzo made it to the quarter finals in Copa Libertadores, so Jahova and baby Jesus still like the new Pope.

    Wow. This guy continues to rattle some cages.

    What's the phrase for when the Pope (or church) says something that Catholics have to follow or be bad Catholics? Sort of how being anti-abortion is more important than being anti-death penalty.

    GOP fans think that is time for a new Pope.

    I don't know what I mean, that's why I'm asking.

    Remember, I'm Protestant.

    You are speaking of the doctrine of Papal Infallibility, which (extremely simplified) is that when the Pope teaches on matters of faith and morals, that he is protected from error. Outside of canonization of saints, this has happened twice in the last two hundred years (1854 and 1950). It does not mean that the Pope is free from error in everything he does or says.

    Nope, that's not what I was getting at. In Catholic doctrine, there are different levels of sin. I'm wondering if Pope Francis might upgrade Republican economic dogma to a higher level of sin. (Or lower level of sin. )
