    I don't think Pop Francis is a good leader to the catholic church.If you are a sinner,why should we called you holy father?I think he is rather encouraging sinners,rather than discouraging sins.

    SIN WAS PASSED ON THROUGH ADAM? BECAUSE ADAM SINNED, WE HAVE ALL SINNED? IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL.
    IF THIS CAME FROM ANOTHER AFRICAN, WE WOULD NEVER ACCEPT IT. BUT BECAUSE IT CAME FROM WHITES, WE ACCEPT IT.

    Remember somewhere in the books of Ezekiel saying, ' the sins of the fathers shall not be passed on to the sons'. The hare Krishna group say that we are all spirit-souls just come to experience a bit of earthly life. We all, ...

    A BABY IS BORN PURE AND SINLESS. THE SINS OF THE PARENTS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BABY. THE SIN OF ADAM HAS NOTING TO DO WITH AN INNOCENT BABY.

    THIS ORIGINAL SIN THING IS NONESENSE.
    IT IS WHITE MAN'S NONESENSE.

    Just ignore this man who is trying to impose his convictions on his church members. I am very happy that I can READ and UNDERSTAND the Holy Bible.

  • readthejesuitoathonline 10 years ago

    The pope is a sinner? Is that a reality? What an admission! -- a sharp contrast from the papists' assessment of who their pope is-- god. Don't be fooled it is all an act which has the blessings of his advisers and other papi ...

  • Opia Mensah 10 years ago

    Is it any wonder this Pope supports homosexuality? If as a leader of 1 billion Catholics, he will not comment on homosexuals, then he should ask all his priests to stop preaching since the essence of God's word is to tell us ...
