Pope Benedict XVI: ‘Pot Calling The Kettle Black’

Posted on 5th April 2008 by LaVrai

I find it so offensive when Pope Benedict opens his mouth and says something hypocritical. I’m not sure if anyone else notices it, but isn’t it rather strange that the man leading the Catholic Church issues ‘new sins’ and wants to tell people what GOD finds offensive… the leader of the institution whose priests have been systematically raping young boys for decades, if not centuries? The leader of the same institution whose administrators have been looking the other way while GOD’s innocent are raped… and who put these pedophile priests (sullying their garments and causing man to despise GOD) in new locations or some place where they won’t be harassed (or to continue their ‘habits’)– instead of sending them to court to face their accusers?

Consider this article about Benedict explaining what GOD supposedly finds offensive. Read the words carefully, and tell me, shouldn’t housecleaning start at home? Shouldn’t this man be running through his so-called churches with whips, ridding the institution of those who sully GOD’s supposed House?

Divorce and abortion are offences in the sight of God, Pope Benedict XVI charged Saturday, while calling on the Catholic Church to be merciful to those who had experienced such events.

“The ethical judgement of the Church on divorce and abortion is clear and well-known,” he told participants in a Catholic congress on marriage and the family.

“They are serious offences (sic)… which violate human dignity, inflict deep injustice on human and social relations and offend God himself, guarantor of conjugal peace and origin of life,” he said.

However he added that there were people who had committed such “errors” but “suffered from wounds to the soul” and “sought peace.”

“The Church has the duty to be close to these people with love and delicacy,” the pope added.

“Divorce and abortion are choices… which sometimes develop in difficult and dramatic circumstances… and are a source of profound suffering for those who take such decisions.

They also affect innocent victims, the barely-conceived and unborn infant, the children caught up in divorces.” (AFP via MSN)

Because I know some will think it - I am not upset with ‘the Catholics.’ I am disgusted by the leadership.

Video: The Rev. John MacArthur On All-Inclusive 'Gospel'

Apparently, the Holy Bible is wrong. Members of the Body of Christ don't even need to know the LORD's name. They don't need to know that Jesus Christ is the only means of Salvation. They can just live a good life and meet Jesus later, when they die and go to heaven.

Romans 10:8-14 - But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
