FORGIVENESS

I like the Pope. I think he's a good man but that is just it. He is a man? Priests are just men. The idea that a Pope can forgive "sin" is biblical bullshit. As one example, The Catholics are saying,  "treminating a pregnancy," is sin. And sin means condemnation. We can spend all day defining sin, etc., let's just accept it as an example 

Only God can forgive sin. (If you have any interest in Christianity) What the f..k. What always amazes me is how intelligent people swallow such basic untruths. Although it is a matter of "faith." You either believe or you don't. 

The news media is somewhat culpable, I think. For instance, The "PBS Newshour" presented a big piece on the Pope in his proclamation telling priests they can forgive sin. They give the impression that the Roman Catholic Church  is "THE" Church. No, they are the Catholic Church. Has anybody heard of the "Protestant Reformation?" I am a somewhat biased blogger who is attempting to set the record straight. Keep this in mind: if you have any interest, you can go straight to God, bypassing the Pope/Catholics. Remember you heard it here. God bless us all.
