How is that so? Everyone does that. It's called discernment. Capitalism works. Communism doesn't. Freedom of expression works, validating religious violence doesn't. The Pope is either right or wrong because truth is not subjective. Being Catholic doesn't compell me to shut my brain off.All leftists love this Pope and are hoping he'll change the church's teaching on homosexuality and abortion and let women into the priesthood. Then at some point we wouldn't even call it the Catholic Church anymore since it is in want of distinguishing beliefs and teachings. We could call it the Worldly Church of Brotherly Love and the Universal Human Spirit. I know you all have high hopes for Pope Francis to dismantle the Catholic faith.It's ironic the current Pope isn't popular with some of his own adherants, yet is loved by non-Catholics. I'm Jewish and we don't play well together at all, yet I love this Pope. And not in the comedian loves a bad President so he can make jokes about him way.
Can't change Scriptural verse. Can ignore it like many faiths do like Reform Judaism does, but once you start pick and choosing what you're abiding by and what you're declaring silly or stupid you cease being anything connected to God in that you can't say with one breath we follow God then say, BUT this was silly and stupid.
