But then again, the famous traitor is also named Benedict Arnold, so....

Back when JP2 was Pope, Benedict was a cardinal. He was the one specifically responsible for covering it up. John Paul probably didn't even know about it.

We need the anti-popes back. They'd sort all this mess out.
Edit: The Avignon ones, not the myriad of other ones.

As long as the anti-pope never comes in contact with the pope. The resulting release of energy would be terrible.

Think about what we can learn though! A macroscale demonstration of inversion properties!

Penn & Teller did an episode on this, if anyone's interested.

Also, you know, like 99.9999999% of priests don't ever do anything wrong, just like 99.9999999% of all ships and planes passing through the Bermuda Triangle make it just fine. It's just the tiny percentage of the ones that do shit that you always hear about.

I thought the catholic motto was that everyone does lots of wrongs, and must be scorned for it?

The problem with the jedi is that they don't accept how balance works, if they actually wanted to save people they'd diminish their own light.

Y'know, I can totally understand them wanting to handle these things internally(not that I necessarily agree). It could easily turn into a witch hunt.

That said; if you want to handle it internally, you have to actually handle it.

Are you trying to imply that God isn't handling it?

God doesn't do his bit until later on.

God. I don't know what Catholics you've come into contact with, but keep them the hell away from me. That pretty much goes against everything I've ever heard.

Doesn't God transcend time? If so then he's already done his bit.

Well, Catholicism AKA christrianity vr 1.X framework supports programs like oldTestbbl.dll which can be exploited in all sorts of crazy ways, of course most of it's users are fairly safe... but still there's always the potential that they could get tons of malware on their HDD.
Catholics might want to upgrade to protestant aka christianity vr 2.X framework as it doesn't contain oldTestbbl.dll and has been cleaned of most of the sourcecode that christianity vr 1.X took from the pagan networking and the naturalistOSX which tend to conflict with it's everyday running.

Personally I run taoism OS from liveCD, basically the linux of cultural perspective.
