Right Skybird, this has been the Papal intention all along - remaking Catholicism into Islam. :rotfl: |
I recommend you take some time and study the policies resulting from the second conciles in the early 60s. Since it is a complex matter I spare me the time to write a long essay on it myself. Studying the impact of installed policies of John Paul II. also is enlightening (and rooted in this second concile, me thinks).

Handing death to man as a penalty for example is left to God in Chrsitian faith.

Are you for real? That doesn't reconcile itself very well with the history of capital punishment in Christian societies where, up until recently, it was widespread.[/quote]
The deciding criterion here is what the centre of Christianity - the Christ - has preached on this matter. And Jesus did not allow or encouraged to leave penalties like this to the justice of man. The medieval was not an age of christian faith - but the absence of true Christian faith. That's one of the two reasons they call it the dark age (the other was that the lightening conditions must have been terrible, and that is for real).

We all already had plenty of opportunities in the last two weeks to realize that for you all and everything is levelled out and one and the same, equal, undifferentiated, featureless thing.
