I was drunk.



Vince... So the Popes anti-war stance was, what... a casual suggestion? Are you perhaps saying that anything a Pope says that he does not declare to be ex cathedra is just a suggestion to the faithful? Becuase since this Pope rejects ex cathedra speech, than in your view, he hasn't said anything at all.

I'm pleased you offered an educated opinion though. Answer me this, when you take communion do you believe the wafer and wine in your mouth actually become real, literal flesh and blood? Not metaphorical, not symbollic, but actual human flesh and blood?

That's called The Miracle of Transubstantiation, and guess what? If you don't believe in it, you aren't a Catholic, you are a Protestant. So what do you say, Vince?
