Hmm. Strange isn't it.. so many loudmouth far-right christians in the USA, but when the pope calls them out on a basic principle of Christianity... they choose to ignore it.

Pope: Enough with slaughters in Iraq

By NICOLE WINFIELD, Associated Press Writer Sun Mar 16, 9:20 PM ET

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI issued one of his strongest appeals for peace in Iraq on Sunday, days after the body of the kidnapped Chaldean Catholic archbishop was found near the northern city of Mosul. The pope also denounced the five-year-long war, saying it had provoked the complete breakup of Iraqi civilian life.

"Enough with the slaughters. Enough with the violence. Enough with the hatred in Iraq!" Benedict said to applause at the end of his Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square.

On Thursday, the body of Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was found near Mosul. He had been abducted on Feb. 29. Benedict has called Rahho's death an "inhuman act of violence" that offended human dignity. On Sunday, Benedict praised Rahho for his refusal to abandon his flock despite many threats and difficulties. Benedict said Rahho's dedication to the Catholic Church and his death compelled him to "raise a strong and sorrowful cry" to denounce the violence in Iraq spawned by the war that began five years ago this week.

"At the same time, I make an appeal to the Iraqi people, who for the past five years have borne the consequences of a war that provoked the breakup of their civil and social life," Benedict said. He urged them to raise their heads and reconstruct their life through "reconciliation, forgiveness, justice and coexistence among tribal, ethnic and religious groups."

...

The Vatican strongly opposed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. In its aftermath, Benedict has frequently criticized attacks against Iraqi Christians by Islamic extremists. Last year, he urged President Bush to keep the safety of Iraqi Christians in mind. Benedict is due to preside over a memorial service at the Vatican on Monday in honor of Rahho. Typically, the pope only presides over such services when a cardinal dies.

The pontiff's appeal for peace came at the end of his Palm Sunday Mass, which opens the Church's busy Holy Week celebrations. They include the Good Friday re-enactment of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and death and the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.

ehm most of the "religious right" are not catholic. In fact most baptists/evangelicals don't like the pope at all. Heck, I was raised catholic and I don't like him. LOL but then again I've lost my faith.

It'd be a cold day in hell when the vatican has any room to talk about hatred, violence, or anything sinful. They passed some new "mortal sins" the other day. One of them was obsence wealth. heh, look who's talking. Wearing prada shoes etc....

Yup. Crestwood's and my brevity in conjunction with PubI's never ending deluge of inane rants brings balance to the universe.

Still does not take away from the fact.. the religous far-right claims to be christians, yet continue to ignore a basic precept of Christianity.

PS
You forgot the Ferrari that the Pope recieved. Sweeet ride

...worthy of the Knight Defender of the One True Faith, Pope of The Roman Catholic Church™

Ferrari built one more Enzo - the 400th car - and it was auctioned by Sotheby's Maranello Auction on June 28, 2005, to benefit survivors of the 2004 Tsunami for €950,000 (US$1,274,229), almost twice its list price. This sum was presented to Pope Benedict XVI, while former Ferrari Formula One driver Michael Schumacher gave the pope a steering wheel to commemorate the donation.

This wheel included a plaque which read, "The Formula 1 World Champion's steering wheel to His Holiness Benedict XVI, Christianity's driver."

This is why the former John Paul was so revered, he wouldn't make political turmoil like this. I was never sure about this next one, it seems he doesn't have the right temperance for the position. An archbishop is killed and he flips out, whatever happened to forgiving, Mr. Benedict?
