sometimes the Vatican makes it damn hard to be Catholic...

Delt Alum-When that had been used to death, the Army probably released the night scope footage of the actual raid. The cynic in me finds it easy to believe that this was a purposful thing on behalf of our side. Subtle, but effective I think
Soooooo agree with these posts! (and others too)
On O'Reilly last night, Bill was debating a Jesuit priest and the
Catholic stance on forgiveness was mentioned. Yet Bill countered with Jesus' reaction to the blaggarts in the temple-a reaction, by Jesus, of anger and intolerance to their sacrilege. The priest really didn't have too much of a response, mostly, that it wasn't the same thing. The Church's stance in addition to what GeekyPenguin said, is that their view relates to the WORLD, not a position one would take from the US or Iraq political perspective.
Is it OK now for people to quote any religious leader? If, on one hand, certain groups want to keep religion out of politics, why are they seizing this opportunity to AGAIN belittle our efforts through the words of a VATICAN principal? (Remember the screams of separation of church and state.) I for one don't give a care WHAT spokesmen for the Pope have to say on this. And if ANYONE starts their anti(whatever) speech with "THE VATICAN SAID...", then throw away you birth control pills, vote to abolish abortion, never get a divorce and go to church every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation! These too are stances the Vatican takes! (Forgive me if I'm cranky-had a late/late night and very early alarm!)
