Dragonball Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 He achieved such a lot - we all watched the the vigours and changes in the 1980's with much hope... Fall of communism Visiting the world Catholic PR ...and yet I cant help feeling that there was just so much more that could have been done if it wasn't for the conservatism of old age Aids and Contraception Clergy Child abuse Christian suffering in third world countries I am not a catholic - and having been bought up with it at school - but like many detest the religion in it's old form...and there is much for a new pope to do Age is wasted on the young...

Green Peace Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 Age is wasted on the young... Youth is wasted on the young. ....and wealth is wasted on the old.....(Jools Holland) Yep the whole issue of Contraception concerning Aids and Unwanted Pregnancies... was something that didn't make much sence...which kind of asks the question 'Did the Pope do more harm than good?' ..and the abuse that children suffered in Catholic, homes and schools, but there are some good Catholics out there as there are Muslims, Seikhs etc I am not a practising catholic, but I have respect for all religeons... I think what the Pope was trying to acheive was to encourage people not to lose sight of 'Human Value' ... Thing is the whole point of religeon is.....dispite what some do or say...you cant just change the rules after a few thousand years and make religeon more trendy or PC...that defeats the object surely... I have an open mind i believe in God in the same way I believe theres Life on other planets! though I just dont understand mans interpritation of it often.
