To call the Pope a coward is like waving a red flag in front of a  bull to the "faithful",  alright, I admit that he is a good man, a Pope for the common man.  He has great charisma and no doubt will be successful in bringing more "lost sheep" back into the fold.  He will continue to insist on upholding traditional ways of the catholic church..He will probably one day become a "saint"

BUT, I stand by what I said..he is a coward!

He stood before our great legislative body, with the opportunity to address our leaders and take us to task as a GODLESS nation, and what did he do instead, engage in homilies..look out for the poor, the immigrants, have concern for the downtrodden..implying that, as a nation with so much, we should be more charitable..whoopee!

He had the opportunity of a lifetime, and blew it!

Where was his righteous condemnation about our descent into godless ways?

Was there a mention that we are a lascifious country..porn capital of the world?

When did he speak of the unspeakable, that we are a country that condones..nay encourages abomination before God..unnatural relations between sexes..making it LEGAL for marriage that defy the sacred bonds of matrimony?

Did anyone hear a peep from him about the "legal" murders of life forms performed daily.. that we are the abortion center of this world..murdering millions of beings..assuming the role of God?

NO! Not once did he utter a word about any of these abominations..play it safe..don't upset this giant nation..get in his "pope mobile" and glad hand the people..spreading love and joy to the "faithful".

Well, God himself will cause the greatest "upset" to our country and our way of life, that we have ever known, because we have turned away from Him..when, only He knows, but I expect, unfortunately, that it will be sooner than later..bobnpaul
