16 Feb 2013 18:12:23 What is peoples opinion on the pope resigning? I… · #1887

I really don't know what to think, being a catholic its the first pope I can think off to resign and when john paul the second was gravely ill for years he never resigned, it is strange but I would have to look a bit more in to it before I had a opinion.

Hey Franky thanks mate, i'm a catholic too but never practice. Religion does nothing for me I don't believe in it anymore, it was rammed down our throats in school, I think that helped to my non belief of it now. If you go to Stuart Wildes website you can see a number of articles on the popes situation at the moment. I've never known a pope to resign myself either it is absolutely unheard of however ill the respective pontiff has been. Cheers for your reply Franky, much appreciated,
Mike

Hey mike I am the same as you, I do not believe in it myself anymore and I will check that website out, keep posting your views feller.

Is it a case of the man that knew to much, I could be wrong but i, m sure I heard a while back that he was part of an investigtion panel on the australian curch/paedo scandal that just came to light a few years ago. blue al

Lads all this bull is coming from a guy who styles himself the ITCCS (International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State). Now there is no doubting that the child abuse was horrific and people should be held accountable, but, to start believing wild stories from one guy (who also attacks the crown of England, in the same way) on the net is a bit much. I believe that he has resigned for the reasons he wrote about years ago. If a person is not up to the job mentally or physically they should resign. There are a lot of politicians out there who should take those sentiments on board instead of clinging on for the easy money for so long. I'm the first to go along with most so called conspiracy theories, when the facts don't add up. But in this case I just see people looking for reasons that are non existent. As a case in point when it was announced last week the tv made an issue of mentioning his days in the Hitler Youth, as did Fox (unfair & one-sided) News. However, over here in Ireland no mention of it was made because of course we don't have a hang up about Germany :-). {Ed001's Note - the thing is, that pope did have a track record of working to help Nazi war criminals escape justice after the war. He is also the man who was in charge of covering up child sex offences. So there is a lot of fact in that 'bull'.}

To the last post john paul 2nd for the last two years of he's life was very very ill so you still think he was calling the shots? of course not the Vatican advisers would be making important decisions so sorry that's why I find it strange, as for the nazi links and child sex accounts I would need more evidence before I decided but like I mentioned this is very strange.

The irish don't have a hang up about the nazis because you helped facism by sending divisions to help franco in the spanish civil war, ik the english have treated the irish appaulingly for the past 500 yrs but your a muppet if you think udv been counted in the master race

To the unnamed poster above, can you please clarify your statement ‘The irish don't have a hang up about the nazis because you helped facism by sending divisions to help franco in the spanish civil war, ik the english have treated the irish appaulingly for the past 500 yrs but your a muppet if you think udv been counted in the master race’
Firstly, there were plenty of Irish Men died fighting against the Nazis, who said we don’t have a hang up about the Nazis?, can you please provide proof or even hear say of the Irish helping Franco? And then you go on about how the English treated the Irish, not sure what relevance this has. Master race? Please explain?
Cheers, Garbo.

Garbo it could be a flame thread.

Mike its something that comes along and sidetracks an argument. For example the thread was about the Pope quitting, suddenly Nazi's get involved and now the argument is over who did or didn't help Franco, so its gone off topic. Was this deliberately done? Mort

Thanks for that Mort ;-)
