Are Catholics who respect their Pope |
|
Unwelcome in the Democratic Party? From some of the comments directed at him here I would have to guess not. I guess we don't need them anyway.

17. There are some Nazi Nazi Nazis lurking too. |
|
But remember, all the jokes are done with lots of LOVE under the big tent.
That said, I thought I wore strange dresses :rofl:

10. That would be a rare bird |

It would be entertaining to talk to one and hear their rationale.

7. I hope Catholics who respect the Pope are welcome here. |

He and I don't see eye to eye on some things, but I still respect him. Let the naysayers yammer away all they want; they're not going to change my mind.

13. I suppose he deserves respect.. preferably while in Italy... |
|
and preferably not as a world leader. I don't see any other top religious leader given the same level of honor and respect.

Respect doesn't mean agreement. As a Catholic, I don't happen to respect him but that is me and my standards don't have to apply to others.

18. I have a friend who is a Catholic priest |
|
And he finds Benedict objectionable.
Of course, my friend could have been a model for the "radical priest" in Paul Simon's song.

19. You're assuming everyone posting here is an actual Democrat |
|
The nuttier and divisive comments I read here are rarely, if ever, echoed at Democratic meet-ups in the real world.

23. People here can express their opinions, whether you like them or not. |
|
If they don't like the pope or don't have two cents worth of caring about him, I can't say that I blame them but if you do, that's fine too, I guess but don't expect everyone to agree with you. And also not everyone on DU who claims to be a Dem, is in fact a Dem. Many are here to disrupt for the elections and that''s their only reason to be here... to sow unrest.
