    I don't know if he's a believer or not but I do know that in the immense opportunities he had in his first days here, he did not address the lost with the Gospel. It would not have been out of place for the head of the largest church in the world to speak a little bit about what most of the Bible addresses but he didn't. I wonder why?

    You had said to another, "are you suggesting the pope is not a believer?"

    I ask, would a true believer in Jesus Christ say that other religions also worship the One living God?

    It's a "positive message of inclusion" one commentator declares!!! Yes, that's right, just as God said it would be, the coming together under the Antichrist. What a time to be alive. Watching prophecy unfolding before our very eyes. Another step towards the time when the very Antichrist himself will be paraded around city after city, around the globe....and they will shout hosanna, hosanna!!!!!

    He certainly didn't act like he had jet lag when he patted heads, kissed people and got out of his car to greet those around him. He didn't seem overly tired when he addressed global warming or the immigration issue. Of course he didn't touch on the fact that the largest abortion provider in the US is in the business of selling babies and the US government supports that organization - which might have been an interesting thing to address. But all he said about this was that we need to have dignity for every stage of development or something like that.

    Judgmental? If he is calling himself my brother in Christ, is that not right to judge those in the church? Jesus Himself said that it is right to judge rightly. You seem to have an opinion on the churches around you. Interestingly enough, I'll bet those churches around you say more on a Sunday about Jesus than the head of the Catholic Church said in his entire visit in NY.

    My husband and I watched the news last night and since we live in NY, much of it centered on the Pope's visit. There was a lot of interviewing of people - and a TON of idolatry! Incredible.

    Could have chosen some better Christian songs. There are hundreds that glorify Jesus Christ and promote the Gospel....

    Yes, I am judgmental on issues where someone is supposedly a Christian is leading millions astray.

    Have you not spoken against every church in your state? I do remember some pretty strong words against them. We ALL are judgmental - and that is not wrong.
