Don't you think the Catholic Church needs to clean up it's own dirty laundry and disgusting messes before they tell someone else to do it?

Schazaam, good one!

Hmm, kind of reminds me of the picture that was in the watchtower not too long ago where I think it was the pope and other members of false religion standing pretty with the politicians of the world. Of course the next paragraph or so brings out how the beast turns on her shortly after.

Talk about "taking the rafter out of your own eye" before removing the "straw out of your brothers!"

Pot calling the kettle black... Prime example!

How many more cliche's can we post? LOL

Well... You can take a horse to water greg....

Hey, mine wasn't a cliche! I wouldn't consider anything Jesus said to be cliche!

[stuagu]

Thats as plain as the nose on your face.

I find it really interesting that THIS pope is being hailed as  a "house cleaner" and firing factions and groups within the Vatican and going against the "old guard" in SO many different ways.  He has fans.   People can't stop talking about how different he is - a game-changer even.  Well...let the games begin  I can see his calling for this working group (islam/catholics) to be "heard" differently...simply because it's him....not former popes.  Maybe he makes progress...maybe he doesn't but as the world watches and hopes for something.... we'll be the only people standing back understanding what is really going on.   Just my .02 cents
