Go to thread on my board to read.


Contradicts even endless Popes before him.

[quote]POPE: I BOW TO FREEDOM, FRATERNITY AND EQUALITY(AGI) - Tarbes, France, Aug 14 - When pope John Paul II got to France, he wanted to pay homage to the constitutive values of this country and in his first speech he conjugated the great Christian heritage" with the ideals coming from the French revolution: freedom, fraternity and equality[/quote]

Yes he did say it, there are secondary sources backing it up.

Keep it in context. He didnt praise the revolution and what happened, but what came from it.

Do you know how Louis treated the french people! They ate 4 wk rotten apples, drank from sewers.

Might wanna read up on Louis XVI I believe it was.

the revolution itself was bad, for it started a persecution of the Church.

but the reasons for it were basically just, seeing as these ppl were treated unfairly.

values=good
actions=bad

You crack me up with this crack.

Next you will say the Pope is a worm, becuase he kisses dirt, which means that he eats dirt, (some say worshiping dirt), just like worms...

And I too, like franternity, equality, and freedom...does that mean that I am evil?

Budge. Honest question...

Do you ever pray for an open heart to hear God's will? What about praying for an increase in humility (removal of pride)?

Be honest.

Don't forget that "liberte, fraternite, egalite" are principles that the Revolution lifted straight from Christianity - they were ours first. The French Revolution took them and screwed them up.

You all make excuses for everything.

I could write "Soviet Glulags were evil and people here would write...

But Communism is a good thing, people working together in the fields...:drool

Its one thing Ive noticed about this place, youd all make good lawyers, here I have a lot of you telling me the French Revolution was a good thing when ironically they did what they could to even take your own church out.

Do you all even realize how the modern Humanist movement and more are related to the French Revolution?

I didnt think so.

very simple when unclouded by the desire to find sinister plans behind every statement.

No one would say that the Gulags were good.

If you wrote the Pope praises the gulags, we would then tell you that are mistaken.

Morph said, " [i]He didnt praise the revolution and what happened, but what came from it[/i]."

AL said, "[i]the revolution itself was bad[/i] ..."

However Budge, you say, "here I have a lot of you telling me the French Revolution was a good thing ..."

??

No, no one has said that the FR was good. We know better than that.
