    I don't understand the picture in the OP. If it was a woman that attacked him, why did the pope bitch-slap the bishop ??

    Good ol anti-Catholicism :rolleyes:

    Nah. That's not anti-Catholicism. Being anti-Catholic doesn't mean you think its funny for a woman to knock over an old geezer. That's more like pro-idiocy.

    He's entirely out of touch with reality.
    How many people are going to follow that advice?
    Contraception was viewed by him in a negative light, which given his power and influence is a very serious matter.
    He has blood on his hands.

    Because in the Catholic Church the sins of fornication and contraception are not equal.
    Fornication > contraception.

    If you are going to have sex outside marriage, against Chruch teaching, then you aren't going to pay attention to the teachings on contraception either.

    I wonder will he show his christian spirit and see that she is looked after rather than locked up.

    Probably not : she's female, so she's not a bishop.

    While I wouldn't normally be happy to hear an old man was knocked down I'll make an exception for the pope. He's not a good man. Covering up child abuse and then years later releasing hypocritical statements about how "sorry" he is it happened. Doing everything in his power to deny same-sex couples civil marriage rights. Giving his sermon about selfishness when his church seems to focus most of its energy on self-preservation at whatever cost.

    No, I really do not like that man.

    What Ever youer beliefs Are, People really shouldnt be Making fun of someone attacking the head of the largest church in the world, and and 82 year old man.

    I dont agree with everything The Roman Catholic church says, but he deserves respect.

    Can you not accept that maybe just maybe people are this upset at the Catholic churches treatment of their victimns?

    Long overdue if anything.

    I feel really sorry for him. The security should have been stepped up knowing what happened last year. I can't believe people actually voted to the first one. If this happened to your elderly grandparent/parent, how would you feel then?

    This woman needs to be locked up. It makes me sick what she did to a frail elderly man who did not deserve this. :mad:

    so every single clergyman was in on it?
    get real will you? and attacking an 82 year old would do what exactly?

    Some jump in logic here.

    This was an individual working on their own (most likely) in an act of aggression/frustration so you have to ask that person. But it does articulate a great many people’s feelings towards the church's actions and lack of action in other areas.

    You can talk about attacking a 82 year old all you want but his organisation visited much, much worse on 8 and 2 year olds.

    Wow did I take a wrong turn or is this After Hours?

    It's Christmas day. Any chance we can leave the serious discussion by the door and just wait until our kids come up to us on Christmas Day in 20 years and show us the video clip they found when searching "hilarious videos" on youtube?

    Merry Christmas AH

    I hope this doesn't mean that the catholics have invented a new superpope that is invunerable to attack and shoots lasers from his eyes.

    If the Pope doesn't want to be knocked down, he shouldn't dress up as a skittle. :D

    Could it have anything to do with Matthew 9:18-22?
    While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.
