Bill Donohue offers seven good reasons why the pope�s legacy is
secure:



Religion for Pope Benedict XVI is as much a public issue as it is a
private one. In 2008, he warned American bishops against �the subtle
influence of secularism,� holding that �any tendency to treat religion
as a private matter must be resisted.�

The pope made it clear that religious freedom was not only a God-given
right, it was �the path to peace.�

He knew religion could be abused, leading even to violence. His much
misunderstood 2006 Regensburg University lecture was really about the
uncoupling of religion from reason (reason not united to faith also
leads to violence).

The pope reached out to dissidents on the right and the left, seeking
to bring them to communion. Not all his efforts succeeded, but his
attempts were noble.

No one did more to successfully address the problem of priestly sexual
abuse than Joseph Ratzinger. Just weeks before he was chosen to be the
new pope, he spoke bluntly about this issue: �How much filth there is
in the Church, and even among those who, in the priesthood, ought to
belong entirely to Him!�

Addressing those who still blame Jews for the death of Christ, the
pope settled the issue with authority by pointing out that no one
should be blamed since, as he argued, the crucifixion was necessary
for God�s plan of universal redemption.

The pope�s many references to what he called �the dictatorship of
relativism� were a constant reminder that one of the greatest threats
to freedom today is the abandonment of the search for truth.

Pope Benedict XVI�s willingness to step aside comes as a surprise this
Monday morning. What is not surprising is his humility. Indeed, it is
one of his most defining characteristics, one that separates him from
today�s ego-centric public figures.

How, exactly, does one unite Reason and Faith, when Faith, by definition,
requires the suspension of Reason, and Reason, by definition, requires the
elimiation of Faith?

Faith requires that you believe in things you have no reason to, because
evidence for those things is missing. Reason requires a strict adherence to
using evidence, observation, and experiment to determine how the natural world
works, and things for which there are no evidence are to be treated as things
you don't know about AT BEST, and non-existant otherwise.

It is quite possible that Pope Benedict XVI's enduring legacy may be
his decision to retire while he still possesses his faculties.

It was absolutely appalling that John Paul II did not resign while he
still had the ability to do so, before he became incapacitated. When
he gave his last public address to the crowd in St. Peter's Square, he
had to be wheeled to the window, and he drooled incomprehensibly as he
attempted to read his message, before his hangers-on had to quickly
wheel him back from the window. It reminded me of the ailing Leonid
Brezhnev who had to make a final appearance atop Lenin's tomb, in Nov.
1982, a few days before he died.

I'll always remember Benny as the first Pope who had been a proud
member of the Hitler fan club as a child and who got to watch his
priests and Bishops raise their arms in salute while repeatedly
shouting, "Heil Hitler!" Benny sure must have made Nazi-loving Pope
Pius XII proud.

Wrong - totally wrong.

Hebrews 11:1-2 (New International Version)
Hebrews 11
Faith in Action
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do
not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

Logic and Reason (without proof) is the exact reason we believe in God. The
evidence is overwhelming.

But if you are there, and if you are hearing me, I plead

never never ever allow Bill Donohue to "help" me out.

Right; confidence in what we hope for (without evidence) and assurance about
what we do not see. What REASON do you have for that confidence, that
assurance? You can't say "God", since THAT'S what you're taking on faith.

Your word salad is utterly ridiculous. "Logic and Reason (without proof)" is
like saying "breathing (in a vacuum)" or "Swimming (without any fluid of any
kind)"

duke, try THINKING every once in a while. Cripes even your OWN RUDDY CHURCH
FATHERS have declared Reason and Faith incompatible. Ever heard of a guy
called Tertullian? Kind of important to the Catholic church.

Blind twit.
That verse says nothing about Logic and Reason or overwhelming evidence,
only faith.

Creation - something form nothing into nothingness. Only a supreme creator can
do that. If you have a better or even equal answer, let's see it.

We see evidence, we use logic, we apply reason, and yes, the existence of God is
beyond question.

Thinking about what? According to the astrophysicists, 13.7 billion year ago,
there was no universe, and no place for one to show up. Yet it did.

How do you know this? On what do you base this statement?

I'm currently reading Lawrence Krauss' "A Universe From Nothing". Why don't
you do as well, and we can compare notes? Hint: Lawrence's stuff is backed up
by experimental observation.

Sure. Why does that mean Goddidit? Can't it have happened through some
naturalistic method? How do you know it didn't? What research have you don't
along those lines; you've read the bible, or parts of it. Don't you owe it to
yourself to read what the opposition has to say? What books have you read on
cosmoslogy?

Not according to Tertullian. However, it's not surprising you don't know
anything about your own ruddy church.

Then a previous creator had to have created that creator, which means
he's hardly "supreme."

If you'd like to skip a lot of hand-waving sophistry
and cut to the chase, tell Duke you'll accept --
provisionally and for the sake of argument -- that
there must have been some Creator. Then move to the
next stage, and ask Duke why that Creative Thing must
have been his own personal choice of god. Why not some
other? Why not some Race of Creative Entities that we
know nothing about? Why not some Thing utterly beyond
anything we will ever imagine?

Do that, and you will find that all pretense of "logic"

and all his subsequent replies will each boil down to,
in essence, "Because".

And I've repeatedly answered - Creation - something from nothing into
nothingness.

If you can come up with at better, or even equal, explanation for the existence
of all things that didn't exist 13.7 billion years ago, let's hear it.

Something from nothing *into nothingness*? That last bit hasn't happened yet,
duke; the something is still here. And again; science is working on
alternative, naturalistic explainations. So the universe itself ISN'T
necessarily evidence that an intelligent creator exists.

There are several. Big Bang theory, being kicked off by subatomic fluctuations
in vacuum state being one of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang

This is discussed in LMK's book I mentioned.

Please outline your logic that ONLY an intelligent creator can create the
universe, and that no other naturalistic method is possible.

Why not? He overtly trespasses into this universe, and performs miracles,
supposedly. Shouldn't they be detectable?

Incorrect, even using your cosmological model; there was God, supposedly.
Where did *he* come from?

That didn't address my point. And I have proposed an alternative; what
scientists are currently researching.

"Almighty" in the sense of "There is nothing
He cannot do"? Any thing or act I can imagine,
He can create? Nothing lies beyond his abilities?

You may now proceed with your "logic", "evidence",

claim that the god of your particular taste in

My God willed the universe into existence some 13.7 billion years ago according
to the world astrophysicists. An infinitely small point of mass of infinite
density appeared from whence there was nothing before, and proceeded to explode
outward to form our universe and all in it including all mass, energy, time and
outer space. Remember, "outer space" is the void space between clumps of mass
and energy flying apart.

I don't dispute that a God could create the universe. I dispute that the God
exists in the first place.

First you have to demonstrate that the God exists. That isn't a given.

Not even remotely an answer.

You were asked to give reason, logic, evidence that
whatever Sentient Creator Thing which did what you
describe turns out to be the god of your particular
local religion.

The fact that the small tribe of wandering sheepherders
whose tribal god they chose to call "almighty God" in
the myths they set down on parchment is nether reason,
nor logic, nor evidence.

Try again: why should anyone think that your choice of
an object to worship is in fact that Sentient Creator
Thing:

Interesting that Satan is depicted speaking with US idioms and
possibly with a Southern US accent.

That seems, somehow approriate.

Yes, "God" is the perfect con game. You can't prove or disprove "God",
you can only prove that the arguments for a "God" are wrong or highly
flawed.
