what will happen? Is he still a valid pope performing the sacraments and leading the church of roman catholics?

Now this is just my opinion!  for many years catholic priests have sexually assaulted young boys and it was covered up by the catholic communities?Only in recent years have there been  charges filed against these priests.They can no longer "just transfer" them to a new parish!Because some of those boys and their families were brave enough to contact a police department instead of the church!I have often wondered,why aren't the priests allowed to marry? because they are trying to be God like,because Christ wasn't married? now in answer to your question,I think they'd probably get rid of the woman and child to protect the pope's reputation and credibility!

He has a long list of accomplishments both before and after election to the papacy.\n\nHe has a long list of documents, books, plays and articles written by him.  If he were an professor, he would have been considered very accomplished.\n\nHe was an accomplished actor and athlete.  He was an avid downhill skiier and I have heard he represented Poland in Rugby.  I don't know if the last part is true or not.\n\nHe spoke fluently at least 12 languages and tried to learn the languages of every country he visited, he made 104 overseas trips.\n\n\nHe visited more countries than any other pope including Peter.\n\nHe has an extensive list of apologies for past wrongs committed by Christians.\n\nHe went a great distance in healing the rift with the other patriarchs, split since the Great Schism in Christianity.\n\nHe did a lot to bring down Communism both before and after election.\n\nEven his funeral brought about accomplishments.  The President of Iran and the Prime Minister of Israel were accidently seated near one another.  Iran has vowed the death of Israel.  The President got up, walked over to the Prime Minister and wished him well and spoke about how they grew up only sixty miles apart.  Prime Minister Sharon has since had a stroke, but you never know what can happen when avowed enemies spend even a moment together as people.

He will apologize like the Pope did.  He will say he is sorry for people misinterpreting what he said, but will not apologize for the actual statement.  The big difference is the Pope didn't need to apologize and Kerry does.  I say around 2:30.

Dave you are a faggoot assshole, seriously, if I ever met you in real life, i would flucking kick your ass, I would KICK YOUR ASS.\n\nI pray that the pope will be safe. Those Muslim's are crazy people who will use there religion as a justification to do anything.

If he is adding to the word of God, he will be greatly cursed.  And stumbling our brothers and sisters puts their blood on our hands.\n\nI think the guy is in enough trouble without our comments.\n\nBest to pray for those who believe these lies.

Hmmmm.... many aspects to your question.  First... he would be an adulterer AND an abuser of drugs.  Second, he decieved his wife, his congregation, and the PRESIDENT.  Finally, you don't have to approve of who anyone chooses to marry.\n\nWhat does this have to do with elections?  This is a liar who had weekly telephone conferences with the PRESIDENT of the usa.  That has everything to do with elections and who we vote for.

At least he's a Christian ~ imagine what this country will be like when we/you elect someone who is not!

My friend, you have hit on something that God is doing in this hour.  Pray!  He's leading you to a conclusion that the mainstream church may not agree with, but which God is expressing at this time.  God has a plan for His Church, and it is not to finish it's course on earth in corruption.  :)\nIf you want any further discussion, always feel free to e-mail me.

What that person said is not true.  The only Vatican decisions one might be able to say are made by the holy spirit are those of the pope when he is speaking ex cathedra - that is, infallibly, on the authority of the promise made to St. Peter.

In a country where the president admits that he hears his god's voice, and is not immediately removed from office, what do you expect?

Go for it,honey.\nlt's time to follow the promptings of God in your heart.\nl'm also a Catholic but have no problems attending Evangelical groups.The ecumenical attitude of the late Pope should be practiced,not preached.\nThe Church is ONE.

The pope has no reason to infuriate the Muslims by going to Turkey. He should stay home and mind his own business. I'm sure he can find enough problems at home.

Any citizen of the united states can be elected president.   \nand no   neither do I believe he would make religious laws any more than say a Catholic President would bring in laws to say, stop us eating meat on friday.\n\nDoes that make sense?\n\nPs Im not the worlds best speller either, but\nthe word is Polygamy. lol!

He will, but the question is will he get the GOP nomination OVER Guiliani...  Either one would be an excellent canidate.

He deserves to be impeached and removed from office.  No doubt about it!  But the Republicans control everything.  The House.  The Senate.  The Supreme Court.  Until some of that changes, the fascist will still be in office.

Hasn't the current Pope already said that celibate gay men can't be priests?  Sounds like he's got the first victims picked out already....

I agree that the Pope cannot speak for God. The Catholic church has changed it's mind on many things in the past- look it up- and while you're at it, look up the story about Darwin's deathbed. Thanks!
