That would not serve in understanding. I asked opinions from ALL.Not really, this thread is laced with Catholic bashing bullsh*t. You should have only asked Catholics for help understanding Catholicism.Not wrong. Ignorant. But I'm learning.To non catholics and to non church goers...it SEEMS like they do. Hence..the question."Thou shalt have no other gods before me".
Making the golden calf while the Moses was on the mountain, statues of gods and whatnot....POPES. Cuz the pope IS worshipped like a god, right? So..isn't that worshipping something other than God Himself?
Not trying to be rude..just wondering how this....fawning...over the Pope is "different". Same as those that fall over themselves with other preachers and reverends, etc. Same thing, isn't it? Worship of some guy that claims to speak for God.
Er, no one worships the pope. No one.
You're wrong. No one worships the pope. Seriously.![]()
If the Pope decided that Tuesday would be a better day to worship, Tuesdays it would be. If the pop said all people should practice birth control, it would be so.....for catholics anyway. He looked upon as someone in authority. The masses of people who bust butt to go see him when he is visiting...the eagerness to see the smoke when one dies to find out the new one taking his place, the idol status he holds because he is a pope...that, to me, looks pretty much like worship of a human being of a certain religious persuasion. I am not catholic, so to these catholic eyes...that's how it looks to me. Doesn't make me evil or wrong, nor does it make those that don't see what I see, evil or wrong. It just "is".
So. I asked.
