Pope says that gun manufacturers can't call themselves Christians

So that justifies your actions? Because someone else did something inappropriate, you can too?


Legitimate question, but don't take it too seriously.

You're wound too tight on this topic, as you missed the sarcasm. And what he was actually saying.

I dont have to justify myself for ripping famous people. If you put yourself in the spotlight be ready for people to watch and comment on your every move. I laugh you would even say this. All anyone on this forum does is rip politicians, cops, internet heros, movie stars, people who screw up, etc. Priest and popes are nobody special, just people who decided to get paid to be religious leaders. nothing more. and if they step out of line, they need to be ripped. if they open their suck hole and try to act relevant to the rest of humanity who dont think they are some kind of diety, they need to be put in their place.

Your gross understanding of one's motivation to become a Catholic priest explains why your comments don't make sense to me. Oh well. Every comedian needs somebody to make fun of, right?

Wow, this has been a really productive thread....



ETA:
I get that a lot of people don't respect the pope... That's understandable. If you're not Catholic, why would you? Should any public figure be subject to public scrutiny? Absolutely.

What bothers me is the level of painfully ignorant comments about the matter. Everyone is so quick to point out the hypocrisy in what this public figure didn't actually say. Yes, that happens all the time in politics too. Does that make it right? Of course not. In fact, that is the EXACT thing that most of us despise most about the liberal media, right? Mis-reporting, mis-leading, mis-quoting, etc., right? I don't understand why so many people suddenly trust what the media reports on a public figure's words without doing their homework. Same thing happened when the "pope said that priests can approve abortions" or whatever it was that MSNBC reported a few weeks ago and when "The pope said that people are evil and climate change is our fault" a few months back. In both of those cases, it turns out that is not even remotely close to what he said or wrote. Another one that might get some attention: Pope Francis has ordered an overhaul of the anullment process to eliminate some of the bureaucracy and administrivia - which I'm sure the media will report as "the pope makes divorce easier" or some such nonsense.
TL;DR version: The media always reports things correctly and never takes things out of context, right? Do your homework before making ignorant comments.


I generally have the impression that most people on this forum are the type who will educate themselves and have an informed opinion before opening their mouths - Please stop proving me wrong.

Are my panties in a bunch right now? Yes, and it makes me especially irritable.

You are being irritable today. It's the same exact thing with this thread, as any other thread. In each instance, 90% of the posts are knee jerk jokes with little to no depth. There will usually be one person who is more passionate about the issue and calls everyone else out for making jokes based on misinformation. You're just the guy in this particular thread. It's usually pretty consistent for which poster takes issue with which topic. Don't get too wound up over comments that are topical at best.

[hurley842002]

Regardless of the topic, or the accuracy of the media, I think the point is, most members on this forum just don't care what the Pope or any other "overly powerful" talking head has to say. President, Pope, Prime minister, King, dictator, it doesn't matter the title, we are fed up with powers that be, speaking for us and telling us how we should live, so expect snide comments.

Who the hell are you to tell us what to expect?

I'm not a catholic, but isn't the Vatican protected with armed guards? Oh the irony
