Jesus Christ has raised me from the dead according to a contract law agreement I have with Him. The final pope in the list of names, Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), refers to the private and public revelation of St. John the Baptist.

Brooklyn Boy – my response to BV was about the Malachy prophecies, not Catholicism in general.

BV is right!

In no other field of human activity, are the participants urged to leave their intellect and common sense at the door as eagerly. In the our increasingly dangerous and complicated world, critical thinking is perhaps our most valuable tool. But, in order to be devout followers of a monotheistic faith, we have to abandon that tool.

That’s why I decided that religion was a pernicious waste of time at age 12. It asked too much of me.

BV:

So, are you trying to say that Catholics are stupid for something that they don’t believe in, or are skeptical about?

No, I think you’re missing the whole point. Religion is bizarre, & as a result, the thought process tends to spawn even more bizarre ideas. Every religion seems to result in a breakdown of critical thought processes.

I don’t really get the point of this post. Catholics (or most of them I should say) don’t believe in the Prophecy of Saint Malachy. So, are you trying to say that Catholics are stupid for something that they don’t believe in, or are skeptical about?

The part of Malachy’s predictions that no one has reported is that he also said all the popes would be only six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon.

Or 3 degrees, since the advent of the interwebs.
& his nick is Malarkey.

ChuckA…Thanks for the reminder “One Flew Over The Cookoo’s Nest.” Great picture and superlative acting. What happened to the film making industry since 1975?

Jack Nicholson is too rational, intelligent, and intellectual to be a theist.
