The new pope thinks that all evangelical Amer. fundies will burn in hell

[Melodybe]

since being catholic is the only way to get into heaven.

It may be a wedge, who knows.

1. Hey, I'm sure the old Pope thought that too

[Sandpiper]

8. He did, the only difference was

He didn't take the "I'm right, screw you" approach to interactions with the other religions of the world.

[Bridget Burke]

2. Let's look on the bright side!

Everybody has a few good points.

[expatriot]

3. link? If he has articulated this position I will LOVE him....

I love a good wedge, Rove needs to be checked bigtime on his idea that he can appeal to one big warm fuzzy Christianity.

6. Google "Dominus Iesus"

He presented it in 2000 and got lots of people justifiably angry.

4. I'm quite surprised I find myself

in total agreement with Ratzinger :evilgrin:

[Zynx]

5. I wonder if he picked his name to embarass them?

Catholics tend to...dislike the End Times prophecies.

[meegbear]

7. And the fundies think American Catholics will burn in hell

What's the difference? :shrug:

[Cats Against Frist]

9. I say we talk a young, green Evangelical Freshman

into stealing the Catholic Mascot, and while they're scrapping on the rectory lawn, we sneak in and grab the wine, loaves, fishes, holy water and purple robes and make a run for the nearest bowling alley, where we can party on Benedict's tab.

I like this thread and this idea. Kick.

10. Anybody think he could be the Cheney of the RC church?

Right about now I'm thinking the whole world is insane and I'm feeling totally "cheney'd".

[Melodybe]

11. he does look evil.

[Dave Sund]

12. Misrepresentation...

Since he also believes that all practicing Muslims, Jews, and Protestants, as well as liberal Catholics, will join them in hell.
