whycanticaps (12/18/2013) [-] If the Pope went and washed/kissed your feet and afterwards told you to get your **** together, I hope you would.

raynagrimm (12/19/2013) [-] i wold probably have to cut my feet off, i dont have enough faith in myself to do things right, and at times when i do get it, start to get my stuff together, i end up relapsing and losing it. if my feet were touched by such a glorious man, i wouldn't be worthy enough to keep them

in any case(if he was refering to the biblicas jesus, and not just someone named jesus) that would be a blasphemy, indicating that he infact is atheist

undeadwill (12/19/2013) [-] Actually the dude is a collectivist (means commie) Now he's great leader problem is once he goes people will look for who will replace him because they want the ride to end and due to his collectivist nature will have given himself too much power though he might use it well the next guy most likely won't.
And once he is president of the world his religious nature will come under attack by the Muslims and Jews whose have seen less influence over everyone due to the Pope role as provider.
So basically he's okay but he has no economic plans only anti capitalism which would harm the entire economy because he thinks that if you want to keep your own money its the same as greed. Then he would try to redistribute more wealth iin the form of food aid to places like Africa which kills the local infrastructure there and creates a dust bowel effect. Then he wouldn't be able to deal with the power hungry and secular Kim or Obama.
In short. He's a good pope....That's it. As a world leader he would be inspiring but terrible.

xdeathspawnx (12/19/2013) [-] the pope is supposed to be the chosen man to uphold the values of Catholicism and see that the church proceeds in the correct order. He is supposed to be the man with the strongest connection to God, not necessarily the kindest man. Also, most popes in the past have been more conservative and fundamental Christians, interpreting everything in the bible much more literally and less likely to change traditions that were once seen as acceptable, but are not any longer. However, this new pope is focusing more on the "what would Jesus do?" train of thought instead of trying to interpret everything exactly as it was written.

sspacecore (12/19/2013) [-] Just remember kids, the bible was written by man, not god himself.

No.
Pope is more like a Judge. He is the final voice and representation of God on the mortal level. Being nice has nothing to do it with it.
Pope John Paul II was beloved by most and he had assassination attempts on his life several times. He was still strict himself and nice. Most Popes have NOT been nice. They're judges.

IKR. This is how christians, ESPECIALLY the pope, are supposed to be. But now all these freaking Westboro Baptist Churches and gay haters and extremist are giving christianity a bad name. Thank the lord we have a pope that actually does things RIGHT.

christmouth (12/18/2013) [-] Also, I don't know if you people remember it, but there was a post about the guy in the last frame, José Mujica, some time ago, and that post showed his life, which is similar to Pope Francis' life. You can read about it here www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2234003/Jose-Mujica-Uruguayan-President-lives-ramshackle-farm-gives-90-earnings-away.html

anon (12/19/2013) [-]
I agree with you on that one. I am terrified that he is going to end up dead because he is actually being a good person. The things i hear about him and what he does really has affected my views on things and refreshed some cold and dead part of me I didn't know was dead in the first place. He really gives me hope that people can be good at heart and I can only hope I and other people can live up to a fraction of his example.

prettyflyforaderp (12/18/2013) [-] he should be person of the ******* decade, and time magazine regretted making him person of the year because beyonce came out with an album? maybe time magazine needs to rethink their priorities

prettyflyforaderp (12/19/2013) [-] oh i heard about the justin beiber thing but figured even if it was true theres no way it happen, but at least it good to here TIME isnt stupid enough to say such a thing

majormoron (12/19/2013) [-] That thing about Beyonce is a hoooooooax, made by a website that makes humorous satirrrrre.

prettyflyforaderp (12/18/2013) [-] really? but also i mean its not obvious? everyone loves him, he helps tons of people, excepts everyone, he uses the money to help the less fortunate, which is a hell of alot more then most any church has ever done
#45 to #39
-
ihatem (12/18/2013) [-] Well he's being a decent guy, but a lot of people old enough to know John Paul II say he's got a long way to go, he just looks really refreshing after having a guy like Benedict. John Paul II spoke out against and called for ceasefires in many African tragedies like Rwanda and Apartheid, apologized for over a hundred things Catholics had done, from not aiding the Jews during the Holocaust to as far back as burning people at the stake during the Reformation and even Galileo's trial, and one big one people love is that he really got movements going in Eastern and Central Europe to bring down Communism, and used the churches money to fund aid for political freedom.
#47 to #45
-
prettyflyforaderp (12/18/2013) [-] well thats amazing and great, but i mean he should be person of this current decade, hes done great things compared to others in this decade. people like him or bill gates show how great people can be in this current time frame, and im atheist and i have more respect for this pope then i do any famed atheist currently
#61 to #60
-
prettyflyforaderp (12/18/2013) [-] hmm, well if we go by 2003-2013, thatd be and awkward decade, but theres still more to see in the 2010's, though he has done great things that would be hard to top in the years to come
#93 to #61

snowshark (12/18/2013) [-] Personally I think 'person of the decade' would really spit on what Francis is doing. His entire attitude is one of equality. To elevate him above all others and say, THIS MAN IS THE BEST MAN THAT EXISTED IN THIS TEN YEAR SPAN OF TIME is just contrary to what he fights for.
I imagine that he would agree with me if I had said a violent criminal who reformed his ways and got his life back on the rails, no matter how small an impact that made, would be more deserving of praise than himself. He is a priest, a holy man expected to be kind and bring light to the lives of those in suffering. He chose that path of his own volition. But being immersed in a dark life and fighting your way back to the light? That is far more difficult.
Point is, you can't judge one man as being more worthy than others. Some people may be more important because of their knowledge and expertise but their importance is to society, not to humanity. People are of equal worth, some just do not realise their worth to the same degree as others and some realise their worth in different ways.
Is a man who donates massive amounts of money anonymously to charity less worthy than the man who does it publicly? Is the man who gives a pound to the homeless worth less than the man who gives a hundred?
Whilst I appreciate the positive publicity this gives him and awakens the world to both his existence and his message of equality, I dislike placing him or any other on a pedestal because to him, giving is easy, to others it is much harder. People are different volumes of the same worth, wether they realise that worth or not, it is in them to grasp.
I can't and won't stop you from praising his goodness in your own way, but be aware of the things I said. Peace, bro.

prettyflyforaderp (12/18/2013) [-] well the person of the year doesnt mean much when you remember hitler and stalin were both on it, its mostly youre doing a good job dont mess up, but then yea hitler and stalin messed up

prettyflyforaderp (12/19/2013) [-] well if thats all, then wouldnt a man nice enough as to help the homeless, create equality, and bring others together be in such a form as to deserve as title as person of the decade? but hitler turned to a darker way, and time said they were embarrassed about stalin to say the least
#371 to #349
-
brobathehutt (12/19/2013) [-] I know Hitler turned evil, but he saved millions of lives before later taking millions more. Time made the right choice in choosing Hitler, it was Hitler who then made the wrong choice in murdering millions of innocents. Even WW2 was partially justified.

viperish (12/19/2013) [-] Not really on this day. People have been praising the new pope for months.
I think the internet has know all along that this is how it should be. Doesn't mean it is. One good person will not change the system enough. As seen above some dude spent $3 million on a marble courtyard when he could've given it to the poor.
