Rick Santorum is a Catholic lawyer who likes long piggyback rides on the beach with Jesus and snuggle time with dead fetuses. Pope Francis is the boss of Catholics,and he also has a masters' degree in chemistry, from his pre-poping days.* One of these men needs to stay out of trying to say words about climate change, and according to Santorum, it's Big Dumb Pope.
The best argument I've heard from either the left or the right is that he was sick and tight of fighting the Vatican bureaucracy. He wasn't a natural politician unlike JP-2 or Frankie.
There are many Orthodox Patriarchs, but the Patriarch of Constantinople is generally considered the Patriarch Numero Uno (like the Archbishop of Canterbury for Episcopalians).
However, I'm pretty sure the Coptic Christians have a Pope too.
This early in the morning it's hard to come up with a better term for what animates us. Chi, breath of god, life force, all are living energies that to me at least can be put in the mysteries catagory. How do living things get it, keep it, or lose it? Life energy is what religions consider the soul or spirit. Science can in some ways measure the electrical fields and of course accepts that it exists. But religion has mucked up the mind body connection. I am not eloquent enough to explain it better. Both science and religion a knowledge its existance, but one demands blind acceptance and the other asks questions. I'm still not making myself clear am I?
After thinking about it and having more coffee, I retract my statement that science needs religion. It doesn't. But where the 2 fields of thought blend or at least peacefully co-exist, we come closer to beautiful truth. You still may not agree but that's OK. My whole point is that religious people were able to science too. You can do both. Go Pope Frank!
Even if he doesn't get the really difficult science-y bits, he obviously doesn't consult his own "holy book." It covers fucking up the Lord's creation:
Jer. 2:7. And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
My guess is that Il Pape has read that bit. Of course it's the old testament, which doesn't count
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!

I was with you until "They need each other to work well."
My rant would be the same to that point.
Hey! Jesus was supposed to be Jewish ...
Although I have seen some fundies saying he wasn't and some Baptists claim their faith is the oldest because of John the Baptist

Lol. Yeah, and I've seen some who handled poisonous snakes. But they weren't Catholic.

PS fuck disqus and the HTML it rode in on
I award you an internet for that one.
Well, they like the bits about "an eye for an eye" and the divine murder of the Sodomidians, but they kind of ignore most of the rest.
