Some Catholics may be--but not GERMANY! Germany will soon rise to lead Europe into a "holy crusade"--starting with confronting Iran and it's taunting Germany's past concerning the slaughter of 16 million jews. Sound too unbelievable??? Listen to German response to Iran's comments...they are NOT going to take it lying down. And the pope is quietly waiting to unite Europe under a Catholic "umbrella" of influence. The 1940's will soon repeat itself again--don't believe ME--watch Europe and the Middle East!!! And pray to God that we wake up to reality! Why does noone have the GUTS to tell the TRUTH???!!!

Glad you told me. I was about to buy a box. I'm on phone right now with the Pope trying to get him to intervene. The Mormons are sending 2 bike riding elders. Buddhists are chanting om mani padme hum.

Maybe, but not really because he is a muslim, but because he is a liberal.  And he's not just a liberal, hes a LIBERAL, big time.  I've researched him.  He's very leftists, so I do think he'll try to appease the islamic countries, and if he must use his religion to gain those means, I don't see that stopping him.  However, he's just one Representative.  In most likelyhood he wont affect foreign affairs whatsoever, and instead just get alot of pork (no pun intended, I swear) for his district like every other Representative tries to do

The Pope is just a man like yourself, but elected to run an organisation. If you had done what he did, you could have been Pope.\nUnfortunately his position is head of a false religon, corrupted by man through the centuries. He will have the same opportunity for forgiveness when he is resurected, as you will.\nHowever, you could improve your position some by reading the bible and following Jesus more closely as one of his lambs..

I'm sure popes make mistakes... although maybe not as large as others but they still do.. they are human\n\nAlso, a pope can apolgize on behalf of the Church or any of its members\n\nI'm sure apologizing nvr hurt anyone

I don't think the Pope needs to apologize based on my understanding of what was said. As I understand, his comment was from a theological point of view and not meant to be a condemnation of the religion. I guess I think with all of the Muslim violence in the world, Muslims should take a closer look at themselves, fix whatever their problems are and not worry so much about what someone else said, even if it was the Pope.

Cute pun, but I shudder to imagine that....person inflicting himself on  another religious community.\n\n'Course, if he tried the same stunts around us, we'd laugh him out of the room.  Maybe the country.

I'm not sure ... I would send it direct to the church where he is Reverand.

The only person we can fool is ourself.\n\nThe notion of the Antichrist is simple... Don't what you are being told or presented at face value, stick with common sense and don't be gullible and stay vigilant.\n\nOne way to counter the effect that can created an international Anti-Christ is by observing Gandhis saying: "The friend that you seek, lies in the heart of your ennemi"\n\nWhat makes us gullible are words that don't have genuine meaning but we beleive they can be trusted such as: Peace, Security and non-violence.\n\nI beleive that chaos is taking a major turn and by putting down our standard of Free speehc and free will we will become cornered into an incapability to express what is needed to face issues. This will be an excellent opportunity to make a "hero" rise and broker communicatins making us even more gullible...\n\nWho could this broker be ?\n\nA silent Arabe leader\nPresident Putin ?\n\nIt has to be someone that will be able to voice the hear of "victims" (muslims) and understand the West...\n\nHe cannot be Chinese nor Asian, as they are now competing for what lies under the feet of Middle-eastern soil...\n\nThe son of Kaddhafi, President Putin.... will most likely broker a deal with Iranian President... to ease tensions that will be kicked off in ... of course: Palestine.\n\nGee, can I be an Autority on it... making prediction based on actualized events ?

Not sure if you are suggesting the pope and Billy Graeme know something they are not telling :-)\n\nI feel another Dan Brown book coming on!

Not a big fan of him myself. He definitely doesn't have the charisma of the last Pope. Regardless, of his answers, his being a part of the Hitler youth hasn't been adequately addressed. He seems like the kind of person who's tough on everyone else, but easy on himself.Even though Turkey didn't stand with us during this Iraqi war{allowing us to enter Iraq from the north would have really helped everone concerned}, I still feel Turkey should've been a part of the EU from the beginning, and that is still US policy,but I'm not sure this Pope would agree on our views about Turkey. We'll see what happens, I just don't feel he has the personal holiness John Paul 2 had.

I am not sure about his goal. I don't like what Pope is doing, especially there way of living. When millions of people are not able to get a piece of bread, Pope and his crew are residing in luxurious palace and I wonder because they are doing it in the name of Jesus Christ.

Trust me. He is not a wimp. He is the False Prophet of the Beast.\n He's trying to be a "peace-maker", and untie all religions under the control of the Vatican.\n It's all a facade. One day soon he'll show his true motives.\n Remember, the Vatican is a political-relgious entity. It is not Christianity. It's the tool of the devil to unite an army against Jerusalem. You will see it come to pass soon. You will also see Russia drop a nuke on Rome. Mark my words, it will happen.\n To know why, click here...\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/

AS A Muslim I think that the remarks made by the pope were not neccecary and far from the truth... but I am not going to burn a building or kill a nun. God/Allah will be the final judge on this matter.\nthe pope should be allowed to visit turkey, it is a great idea , maybe it will help clear up misconceptions he seems to have about Islam.

Even if this supposed prophecy is true, it does not say how many popes will be after the current pope.\n\nThere are several interpretations regarding the last Popes listed by St. Malachy taken by those who believe the prophecies:\n\nRegarding whether additional Popes, not listed by St. Malachy occur between Gloria Olivae and Petrus Romanus the following differing views are held: \n\n1. Gloria Olivae is immediately followed by Petrus Romanus. \n\n2. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, he and Gloria Olivae might be one and the same pope. \n\n3. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, any number of popes could intervene between these two popes. \n\n4. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, it is also possible that he will not be an actual pope (that is, that "Peter the Roman" may take on the role of the Pope without putting on the robe of the Pope). Under this possible scenario, a catastrophe at the Vatican -- perhaps a terrorist attack -- could wipe out the top leadership of the Church during either a consistory or a conclave of the College of Cardinals. As a result, with no viable College surviving to elect a new pontiff, this particular scenario would have a surviving official of the Roman Curia succeeding to the top leadership of the Church but not as Pope. Since he would not rise to the Papacy itself but instead would become, in effect, the top caretaker of the Church, he would not need to assume a new papal name such as Peter; thus he would keep the name he has had since his birth in Italy, and that name already would be Peter (or, in Italian, Pietro). Currently (that is, as of March 2006) there is only one such candidate for Petrus Romanus within the Roman Curia. His name is Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Under-Secretary of State for Relations with States, appointed by Pope John Paul II in 2002 to serve under Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo. A native of Schiavon, Italy, Monsignor Parolin was born in January 1955. \n\n5. That the prophecies are indeed elaborate Jesuit forgeries of the 1600s. \n\nRegarding whether the Papacy ends with Petrus Romanus, the following differing views are held: \n\n1. Petrus Romanus will be the final Pope. The end of his papacy will mark either the end of the papacy, the end of the Roman Catholic Church, the Church's final triumph, and/or the end of this world (See: Apocalypse, End of the world, Armageddon, Eschatology). \n\n2. There will be additional Popes following Petrus Romanus, about which Malachy did not write. There is also the possibility that these additional popes might be considered antipopes, which could justify their omission in St. Malachy's eyes (However, several antipopes are mentioned in the Prophecy.) \n\n3. If Petrus Romanus was a later and spurious addition to the prophecy, that leaves Gloria Olivae as the last listed Pope. That could still mean that there are or are not more Popes to come.

No, I don't think it is possible. Jesus said that he would come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, so if this guy hasn't been heard and seen by everybody, he's just a Messiah-wannabe. Jesus said, "Many will come in My name and deceive many."
