The 85-year-old pope rang in the new year with a mass for about 10,000 people in St Peter's Basilica on the day the Roman Catholic Church marks its World Day of Peace with initiatives around the world. He also spoke of peace after the mass, addressing tens of thousands of people who had followed the service from outside in St Peter's Square. "A new year is like a trip. With the light and the grace of God, may it be the start of a path to peace for every person, every family, every country and for the entire world," he said from his window overlooking the square. He thanked the world's peacemakers, saying they deserve praise for working, often behind the scenes, tirelessly, thanklessly and armed only "with the weapons of prayer and forgiveness". Peace marchers carrying rainbow banners released blue balloons in a sunny but cold St Peter's Square as the pope spoke. Earlier in his homily, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics decried "hotbeds of tension and conflict caused by growing instances of inequality between rich and poor". He also denounced "the prevalence of a selfish and individualistic mindset which also finds expression in an unregulated capitalism, various forms of terrorism and criminality". Continued at link. Poster Comment: I told all you cult members that Christianity is the root of communism,and that the various cult leaders were nothing but commies,but you all had hissy-fits and denied it. I can't wait to see you all call the Pope a liar or say he was wrong.

Don't hold your breath.
. Catholics ... are a cult --- has nothing to do with Christianity ! The spirit of Antichrist ... has taken over the majority of people --- in this country. Minorities - LP kook - druggies don't have enough brains - morals to know the difference between evolution - marxism - slavery - religion vs science - freedom - America - Christianity !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Judas was a marxist ! The pope must be a neocom - marxist !

My Goodness! Commies are not only under every bed and are now sitting on every pew. You better have your rifle handy.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
Don't worry about it. You don't understand anything else,so why would I expect you to understand this?
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
LOL. Now you're going to make all the Bible Thumpers' heads explode. They should have just listened to Ayn Rand. :-)
