New Pope is rocking out with his cock out. No wonder the traditionalists were afraid of him. Good on him.

I think i read that he was actually "runner-up" behind Benedict last time. That means he's been 'popular' for a while

Maybe this isn't as off-the-wall and odd as people think, but more a shift (realization? realignment?) in church thinking. (Not that the catholic priesthood is the rule making authority here)

Anyway, not in the theology forum. No more distraction from me.

The catholic church has to adapt or it will force itself into the realm of irrelevancy, they may have finally figured that out. After all, they didn't clear Galileo of any wrongdoing until 1992.

If you're living in the time the OT was written, yes. Thankfully, Levitical law isn't applicable since Jesus' birth, death and resurrection. He fulfilled the old law.

Matthew 5:17 NLT

“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.

If I write one thing, then write something else later, the thing that I write later is to overrule the first thing. Does that remind you of anything?

Pretty interesting. The message of grace has been largely lost in today's church, catholic or otherwise.
