Johanna_G says: I don't care what the pope says, I much prefer Jesus Christ's definition of a church, which I included in my cartoon today,says Bob Englehart, who created this cartoon, in his blog. wow! that silly pope's gather in catholics name. pop pop pop »Papst Benedikt XVI. hat Fortschritte im ökumenischen Dialog wischen der katholischen und den reformierten Kirchen gewürdigt. Seit dem Ende des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils vor vierzig Jahren hätten beide Seiten wichtige Beiträge zur Überwindung der „tragischen Spaltungen“ aus dem 16. Jahrhundert geleistet, betonte er bei einer Audienz für eine Delegation des Reformierten Weltbundes (RWB). Übereinstimmungen im Kirchenverständnis, die sich im Verlauf des Dialogs erwiesen hätten, bezeichnete Benedikt als „ermutigendes Zeichen“. Bereits das Ökumene-Dokument des Konzils „Unitatis Redintegratio“ habe in den sechziger Jahren betont, dass theologische Forschungen ebenso wie historische Stud... Kardinal Kasper: „Die Karawane zieht weiter“ EKD: Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland - Das Papstamt aus evangelischer Perspektive Bischof Wolfgang Huber, Vorsitzender der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland: Honestly, in this case I'm very outspoken: HATE this Pope. He's more dangerous and out of mind than ever possible existing devil could be... Pop pop pop for you, Johanna! ... HATEDear farfalla294, don't overstate it, please. It's only a caricature, the humour of which includes some ecclesiological earnestness - from the Protestants' point of view. Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, whose formidable book Jesus of Nazareth I just finished to read, is an in-depth thinking believer and a warm-hearted thinker. Of course - he is a Roman Catholic. No wonder he is captured and prejudiced. Nobody is infallible. We must not forget that. pop the pope it is God or his son that is under "nobody is infallible" here, it is the pope that CORRECTs them all ........ Johanna G I don't think you can place this joke squarely at protestant's feet (although that maybe where it originates). The pope in this picture could be replaced by hundreds of leaders from different protestant denominations and still would be accurate. PS - and I'm a protestant PSS - I'll try to get Pope Benedict's book for a read on my vacation - sounds good. Dear Johanna, here in Italy Pope is strictly connected with politics. Too much. Most of Italian can't stand him no more and "its" traitor politicians too. It's also a matter of civil rights, interferences in laws and acquired freedom of choice in decades of history; Catholic Church has more power than government. And in my opinion, shared by many others Italian (and I talk about religious people), this Pope is a fundamentalist, he would make things to turn back of 60 years. All right, nobody is perfect and I respect your point of view, but this is too much. European Court has still report Roman Church violations of laws and civil rights in Italy many times in this year, also with heavy sanct... Denn wo zwei oder drei versammelt sind in meinem Namen, da bin ich mitten unter ihnen.Ein Anwesender bedarf keines Stellvertreters. In einer statutarisch geprägten Auffassung freilich, derzufolge auch unter denen, die Jesus nachfolgen, ein anordnendes Oben und ein gehorchendes Unten notwendig und darüber hinaus gottgewollt ist, büßt die in diesem Jesus-Wort verheißene Gegenwart des Gottesreichs einiges von ihrer Unmittelbarkeit und aufrichtenden Kraft ein. Jesus trat/tritt den Seinen nicht obrigkeitlich gegenüber, sondern als liebender, fürsorglicher Bruder, als unjohannitisch-unaske... I want a clarification, does "in my name" mean God in general or does it specifically have to be Christ? @yptim Johanna G I don't think you can place this joke squarely at protestant's feet (although that maybe where it originates). The pope in this picture could be replaced by hundreds of leaders from different protestant denominations and still would be accurate.Yes, very Christian. Dread to think what bilge there would be if he said something nice about say, Muslims. Hang him high!? At one level this is the gang leader saying only our gang, as virtually every gang leader does. BUT, on another, there are issues for some people who believe they are Christian who really have not a Christian bone in their body! This from an interested, godless, former ... |
