[Jikanu]

i was speaking of JPII. i dont know what i think of Benedict. i agree that organized religion makes people sheep, however, which is why i dont call myself a complete catholic. im a free-thinking Catholic. I share catholic beliefs, but disagree with some of the heirarchal figures in the church, who have been tainted over time, and with some of the teachings of the church, which i believe have been distorted. i believe in the teachings of Jesus. Not the Pope. You'll obviously get corruption in any hierarchal system, obviously. However, Scientology has gone much farther than most religions. i dont think the pope has an assasination squad to take out every atheist out there who preaches against them. if they did, half the internet would be barren.
