🕊 Some reports indicate that Pope Francis died leaving only 100 dollars. Yes, a hundred dollars. Less than 90 euros. No house. No bank account. No investment in his name. And yet, he was the head of the Catholic Church. A post that could have earned him about €340,000 a year. But he refused...

We got controversy in the conclave, there will be some movies made of this one. The parallels with US (p-word we shall not mame) will be debated

This is my issue with no evidence. We could not hear space till we got the skills to develop the tools to listen. Same with bacteria before the microscope. Or the molecule, and atom. Just cause your 6 senses or mine can't grok it doesn't mean it isn't there. For that reason we leave the...

What? Not, arrest try and convict? Vengeance not justice? Two eyes for an eye?

Yes the Protestants protested against status quo. Yes their meeting rooms (that I have attended) unnadorned and no pulpit, the claim (as I hear it) is you sit in silence/prayer/meditation until the spirit guides you to say something. In practice I have always felt they came in with an agenda...

Isn't that exactly what Luther and Calvin were all about?

This, to me, was a fun thread outside of our normal fare. Were we doing some high schoolers home work? Idk.

Is anyone seriously surprised that the diets that we (humans) grew up with, evolved with are healthier than the diets of the industrial age. I think it is easy to see natural diets, which involve less man involved influence will be better for ya? Basically take it from nature and eat it...

The way the pendelum swings, I would expect the next pope not to be so interfaith, as liberal as the one we just lost. May he rest in peace. sharing some words which resonate with me. On Compassion and Mercy: "A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just," and "The Lord never...
