Well this isn't exactly a new issue. Any church that disagrees with the church of the conservative party is a good influence, in my opinion, as it at least diversifies the views and, in a sense, dilutes the church-in-state problem by preventing a concentration of agreement on issues for religious reasons.

I see nothing remotely productive coming out of it. People will forget about it in two weeks.

I'm perfectly okay with this.

In a way you could say he represents a large organization that represents the feelings and views of the people under that organization, and in that way what he says is relevant.

who cares

He's just another foreign dignitary to me, really.

I feel like from his pov, he's doing the humane thing and urging national leaders to help the immigrants, and make sure no people are left out. The Pope is a good dude who is removed from all that political shit and upholds his religious beliefs, but also actually cares about the common man. His countless time spent with homeless and children proves this, along with him ordering churches around the world to take in immigrants.

Naturally though, the people in congress will turn it all into politics and all the other crap we hate.

So I think HIS intentions are noble and good, but I think congress will circle jerk over his words and use it for political leverage.

lol even you gotta agree your bait failed hard

Separation of church and state doesn't mean the government can't display religious symbols or host religious leaders. The legislation involved is explicitly meant to prevent establishment of a national religion or unduly favor one religion over another.

I want to know who thinks the Pope has any good ideas for policy in the first place.

Right, and we can't have Catholic presidents either because then the US would become a puppet of the Pope.

That actually happened in Canada, IIRC.

The Pope threatened to excommunicate the Prime Minister after he started passing pro-choice abortion laws.

I fail to see how it's different to the queen speaking to them. I mean, she's head of the church of england.

Not that it matters to me anyway.

Thun · September 24, 2015, 05:41:35 PM

I don't see an issue in this. All he did was talk about political and humanitarian issues.
