Gays are clamoring "against vaccination of their faith? This maybe  implied by the declaration of Pope Francis, warning against “administering a vaccine against faith”. But what is this faith? Before answering the issue, let us first examine the meaning of Pope's statements.  Obviously, when the Pope mentioned ‘vaccine against faith”, logically, he is referring to “faith” as a disease because vaccines are only intended to prevent diseases. But when he further warned against ‘administering’ the vaccine, then he logically means that he is warning against the prevention of a disease. Specifically, the statements are as follow: “The pontiff said educational leaders should ask themselves “how can we proclaim Christ to a generation that is changing?” “We must be careful not to administer a vaccine against faith to them,” the 77-year-old added.”( http://ph.news.yahoo.com ) This is related to Roman Catholic Alleged Church way of presumably recent rethinking in deal...

Did God ever establish a depository for His forgiveness? This question has relation to the statement of Pope Francis that "church is depository of God's forgiveness". Obviously, he was referring to Roman Catholicism when he said "church" to the exclusion of other "isms" such as Judaism, Islamism, etc. . As Pope Francis is invoking "The Name" of God in his statement, let us try discussing it if it is in accordance with the scripture. Firstly, is there any declaration in the scripture that God needs a depository for his forgiveness, which is very personal in nature? To illustrate, if A committed a grievous sin against B, can B delegates to C the act of forgiveness for A's sin. Is it proper? More so, when C is doing things which are antagonistic to B by way of usurping the authority of B?

Pope Francis totally lacks any legal personality to attack the "trickle-down " theories based on his alleged justifiable and moral grounds. Nor has the rights to utter words against "money" , any person or anything in heaven, on earth and underneath the sea.  Above propositions are logical unless he does first the following;  He should first attack the "holy" cross, "holy" rosary, rosary beads and strings, and every Roman Catholic idols, e.g images and statues, which are being promoted by Roman Catholic Alleged Church. He should also first return the title of the "Holy Father" to the real owner, including all the donations, monetary or proprietary, and all the "moneys" that the Roman Catholic alleged church had benefited in selling deceptive images, statues and candles, etc and all the fees paid for baptisms, masses, weddings, burials, etc, to all deceived followers. The Pope should likewise civilly compensate...

Pope Francis does not like "money" to be idolized. On deeper analysis however, it turns out that he was referring to "greed" in money being constitutive of idolatry. But, is the use of word "idolatry" appropriate for "greed'? Before we discuss this questionable use of word "greed" in "idolatry", let us first quote the report in www.rawstory.com. "Speaking at daily Mass on Monday, Pope Francis condemned the worship of money." "Though money itself was not inherently evil, Francis said the attachment to money lead to destruction of families, friends, and the self". “It leads you to idolatry, it destroys your relationship with others,” he said, according to Radio Vatican. “It’s not money, but the attitude, what we call greed. Then too this greed makes you sick, because it makes you think of everything in terms of money. It destroys you, it makes you sick.”
