    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    Okay, so I guess I'm unwelcome here. I don't like being continuously told by someone that my opinions are basically worthless, let alone being dishonest or irresponsible are not my intentions. Thanks, I'm done with this forum.

    Heaven and Hell?

    I think you bring up a very good point, lilithu. We need fairness, just like we need a purpose in life, it's a natural thing. Even animals react to social unfairness, according to experiments done recently. You can find an article on this in Scientific American Mind, volume 16, number 1, page 8...

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    So you guys basically believe, that in the defense or preservation of the Catholic faith, these actions were justified? What about Catholics that are homosexuals, should they find another faith? Did Jesus's message emphasize on homosexuality? Are we not all sinners? Does not the bible say that...

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    Yah I would say it's a little biased, a lot of people in the media have been interviewing only the people who are in opposition to the new Pope. What I got from the show, was that this nun was silenced by Pope Benedict recently, this was pretty close from what Bill Oreilley said. This is...

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    If you try to make Catholicism "liberal", on one perspective it no longer is Catholicism. I would assume that this action is simply because of his standpoint on secularism. I'm sure the nun's intentions are good, but meanwhile the Pope's intentions are genuinely good from his perspective. I'm...

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    Thats understandable, but there's no need to get this point across by saying otherwise. They don't have this specific interview posted on the internet, but if you want to ask for the script, you can probably obtain it from foxnews. [email protected]. It happened on todays Bill Oreilley show...

    Yes, she was told not to minister to gays and lesbians.

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    The topic is simple, he silenced a nun for ministering to gays and lesbians. What more do you need to understand that he silenced a nun for ministering to gays and lesbians? It's a clear reflection of his conservatism.

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    She simply had been ministering to gays and lesbians. From what I had watched, the main concern was about the Pope's conservatism, there wasn't great emphasis on the silencing. The point of my topic is to discuss if people think that was a correct action, and what is their opinion of his...

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    It was a topic on the Bill OReiley show, I had watched it on the AFN news channel where Bill OReiley had interviewed a nun who had been silenced by the Pope for ministering to Gays. Where is my gross irresponsibility and dishonesty? I don't understand the necessity of your critisism.

    Pope Benedict XVI Silences nun for ministering to gays and lesbians.

    What do you think about the new Pope's religious conservatism? There has been mixed reactions by Catholics about the new Pope. Some have made comments that they were expecting a more liberal Pope.

    Heaven and Hell?

    I think it originated from Zoroastrianism. Are you sure that the "evidence" you have conjured up is reliable? The majority thought the Earth was flat. But they all proved to be wrong. Just because the majority believes in something doesn't change what is objectively true. There is...

    Religions and prejudice......

    I think you guys are all correct. I think ultimately intolerance deals with legalistic standards, what is acceptable and what is inacceptable to a perticular society or group of people. It doesn't just apply to religion.

    Religions and prejudice......

    I thinks it's people who are legalistically dogmatic and conservative who try to preserve tradition, that tends to be intolerant to social change. On another hand, people are naturally prejudice, and that statement itself was a stereotype against religious people.
