Please don't be naive enough to think this wouldn't happen at such an important time for the Catholic Church, however Catholics may see the Pope spiritually, there will still be an awful lot of politics involved in the election and people from different countries, even different continents, will have very differing views on who they want as the next Pope. Until the election of John Paul II, there hadn't been a non Italian pope since Adrian VI in 1523 and until the current Pope, every one had been European with the Exception of St Peter and as Catholicism is spread all over the world, it is, strangely, the largest religion in the United States, and also, every country in South America is deeply Catholic so to think that people aren't going to show deep passion during Conclave is plain sillyLinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626289099911681536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32063993.post-72250757572051268342016-10-15T17:13:19.667-02:302016-10-15T17:13:19.667-02:30I still read wrong facts in these statements for s...I still read wrong facts in these statements for sure with 25th of december, actually the Quote of tom hanks in the movie is true, Jesus and maria and josef were in an barn, with the animals outside, this could never be in the winter, 2) indeed did the romans celebrate sol invictus on this date, its no coincedens that this pegan celebration falls togehter with the modern days Christmas celebration, all created in Concillions with emperor Constatin at the head of all, to create Peace betweens cristians and pegans among the civilianz, Pure facts of God JHWH and his son and his goal, and the reason for everthing happening is at the most important source of all!

And the ideas he presents in his novels are grossly under conceived, prone to wild inaccuracies, and depend entirely on his inclusion of cute trivia to be appealing.<br />Oh... the December 25th thing... research the Persian deity Mithras, who dates back to about 500 BCE. I can't confirm anything about it, but most of my brief investigations into pagan influences on Christianity have led me that way.<br /><br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32063993.post-83825963721913323462011-01-06T16:59:44.838-03:302011-01-06T16:59:44.838-03:30Hey Phil,
