Nothing any Pope says has any relevance to US law.

And that's the bottom line. He can hold any opinion he wishes, and he can meet with anyone he wishes. It's all meaningless when it comes to the laws of the United States and to rulings by our courts.

The Pope has no authority at all in this country. He's just another non-citizen who doesn't even have a single vote here. Whatever he said to Kim Davis about her objections to doing her job is meaningless, really. Our Supreme Court has ruled that people have a right to marry, and has ruled that the right exists in every state in this country. A federal judge in Kentucky has ruled that Kim Davis's county clerk's office must issue marriage licences to all people legally entitled to marry.

That's it. That's the law. Nothing the Pope says has any impact on that.

The Pope and his church cannot dictate anything to the United States. What he thinks and says is completely irrelevant with regard to any legal matter in this country.

Don't you have another dumpster to fill?

He's working on it.  It's his opinion that needs to go into that dumpster.

Do they even remember that, just last week, they loved the Pope for sticking it to we stodgy conservatives?

After the whole Kim Davis visit ..... I take back what I said below.    :rotf: :rotf:





I'm not Catholic, I really don't consider myself part of any religion .... I have a Crucifix, Star of David and an Ommmmmm charm on my review mirror in my car.   ::) ::) But I'm loving ol' Frankie. I saw JP2 in SF in 1987 and I liked him. Could not STAND ol Bennie 16. What an asshole! When this pope took the name of Francis aka Francisco .... I knew this guy was going to shake up the shirt.

Go Frankie!

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Except when it comes to wealth distribution and Global Warming right?

Actually what he says could be relevant to the law if he convinces enough people to change old law or create new law.

He could start by excommunicating Catholic politicians that openly support abortion.

AFAIK, the bishop of of the diocese that the politician is from has to do that.  I do know that Pelosi has been 'strongly urged' not to take Communion by her local bishop.  Whether or not this is a de facto excommunication is open to debate.

I just don't understand how anyone can claim to be a Christian, let alone a Catholic, and still support abortion.
