The Paradox of Power....

[ronedee]

That band of child fuckers is on the way out in the western world and even a slick advertising con man like pope frankie isn't going to save their sorry asses.

Oh, and Ronny.  Make sure you turn the lights out when you leave.

The percentage of U.S. Catholics who consider themselves “strong” members of the Roman Catholic Church has never been lower than it was in 2012, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of new data from the General Social Survey (GSS). About a quarter (27%) of American Catholics called themselves “strong” Catholics last year, down more than 15 points since the mid-1980s and among the lowest levels seen in the 38 years since strength of religious identity was first measured in the GSS, a long-running national survey carried out by the independent research organization NORC at the University of Chicago.

Roman Catholic Church feels Europe slipping from its hands

And who else gets a million peeps to show up for lunch in Philly? You are in the minority of naysayers. And thinking that people will come to your  senses. Senses that
are based in material worth and flawed logic. That which only takes us so far. And that isn't far enough... by a huge margin! Because you don't have "all" the answers.
No person does.

No, I didn't expect much here, as usual. I'm just reminding everyone that Christ is alive and well, and living in the hearts and minds of most people. If not in person, or
religion; in concept and value.... and while all else crumbles around us. You can fantasize about the demise of the RCC, but its here to stay! Actually if they had the
numbers that atheists have? I'd be worried!

But, its not any religion, person/pope, place or thing that keeps "the" message alive. Its Hope! And that's something no one can deny, or compete with. You can
point to all the bad people who ran/run the church, and kill the messenger (literally in Jesus)..... but you can't kill the message. And that is the whole point!

If we are ever to aspire to the God concept most were brought up on? Than we must first accept and follow the natural way to peace, love and harmony that leads us to life
and happiness. Nothing else matters. Its basics. No matter what our opinions are of each other and thoughts of what life is about.... we ALL believe in Love. That is our ultimate
purpose in life. And if there is a God revealed.... He will be found in Love.
