Pope arrives early.....

He snuck over the border about noon today.

Question:

When we see the Pope holding and kissing small children...are they pre-screened? Kids are sick with colds or flu and other communicable disease every other minute.

There is a really horrible joke response about pedophile priests that my respect for Pope Francis forbids me from making.

It was a serious question and I didn't even think about going there. I like this Pope and am concerned for his safety. I'd like him to be around for a good while.

Would your liking this Pope have anything to do with the fact he is cozy with the Castro boys? Just curious.

I'm still trying to figure out if this Pope is actually Catholic. It's sad to go from such an intellectual giant like Benedict to this guy. If they wanted to take a minority, they should have gone with the African guy. He's bright and at least he's Catholic.

Overblown, overrated, and I'm an otherwise religious type guy.
Too much goes on in the Catholic church that I either don't understand, or I do and don't like it.

He's not a Catholic, he's a Jesuit.........big difference.

Very big difference...

If anyone is interested, you can look up the sinister history of the Jesuits, and a lot of it doesn't have anything to do with Jesus or Religion....They are really not the nice guys that many have come to believe thru their own ignorance...

Google Malachi Martin....

Anyone ever heard of the "Jesuit General" who is also known as the "Black Pope"... The real power behind the throne of the Pope...

Not to mention global warming. TJ loves the politics of this pope.

He deserves to get trashed. He commenting on things he has no education in and no understanding of at all.

It would be fine if he was some schmoe on a message board debating economics and horse racing with us. But if you are in a position of authority over a billion people, many of which are looking for guidance from you, your expertise on free market economics should not have come from observing Argentina. He probably knows less about economics than Obama - which is a scary thought. He could probably even learn something from Krugman and that guy is living in some delusional la la land.

Very Holy man.
Very stupid man, but very Holy man.

If he is so concerned with wealth begin concentrated, he should take a look in the Vatican basement, or attic, or garage.

Lot of wealth there, Pope-eye.
When you'se re-distributated it all, then we cans sits down and talks about capitsalism.

Until then, make like a monk and shut up.
