A few suggestions...
1.) Let priests marry. 2.) Allow women priests (and popes). 3.) Declare women’s reproductive choices to be private and off limits. 4.) Declare full rights to LGBT folks and stop calling them sinners. 5.) Declare that it IS the government’s job to care for the least of these. 6.) Remove pedophiles from all service positions immediately. Zero tolerance. 7.) Declare that sex education and birth control are moral and needed 8.) Declare that universal access to health care is the only moral system. 9.) Declare that the war on drugs is a moral failure. 10.) Declare private, for-profit prisons to be evil. 11.) Declare that a living wage is a moral priority. 12.) Declare the death penalty evil.

If there was such a thing as a true profit towards humanity it would be someone like you Rex, keep up the humble and good work Rex.

@reasoning logic,
I have to fess up, I did not write that list. I just added the words (and popes). Though I strongly agree with each statement...

There was not an open internet link or person's name to which to link the words to...

I try to give credit whenever possible.

I did think re-posting it was important.

As for me being a prophet. My foretelling skills are not always so right on but I do forth tell as an advocate and loyal friend to humanity... Both foretelling and forth telling are considered attributes of a prophet. Though I make no definitive claims... Smile

Thanks RL!

@reasoning logic,
I liked that video thanks RL. Empathy is a source of love...

Empathy for those in power can be construed as appeasement... Not sure I am there yet...

I was thinking in the terms of building up our society, the interest that you show seems to be of a greater profit than the interest gained by the love of money. I prefer the the equity that you have, than that of other type of share holders.

I do not believe that prophets exist because I have not seen any signs that a God exist but if one did, I would hope that his image would be close to how you think he should be. Wink

@RexRed,
"Sanctity of marriage" is an oxymoron if I ever saw one! Not too long ago, the divorce rate in the US was over 50%. That's sanctity? LOL

Quote:
sanc·ti·ty
/ˈsaNG(k)titē/
Noun
The state or quality of being holy, sacred, or saintly.
Ultimate importance and inviolability.


Now that those same people who demands that marriage is between and man and a woman look themselves in the mirror as they deny other humans equality and dignity?

Pope Francis supports crackdown on US nuns
http://news.yahoo.com/pope-francis-supports-crackdown-us-nuns-150211781.html

Another male chauvinist to further drive the church into oblivion and irrelevance... And what of the crackdown on pedophiles?????????? That should have been the first order of business!!!!!!!

Kissing a few men's feet from the prison and it goes to his head... What a jerk.

Crack down on women, nuns? How retarded... He has lost any and all possible credibility...

"Francis The Sissy" (no offence to gays meant)

Don't get me wrong I love Argentina but this man is an ass... Not the kind of ass Jesus would want to ride...

These nuns are the only thing left in the church that are of value...

Rex please forgive me if I come across as being wrong or if I may indeed be wrong.

Quote:

Maybe I have it wrong but just as there will be heterosexuals and gays there will be male and female that are attracted to juveniles but the only problem I see with this is that the juveniles were not able to decide for themselves but I was hoping that someone could help me to see differently.

I Think that we found pedophilia to be wrong because we thought that all people should be able to to reach an age that that they could decide for themselves.

I would not expect any more from the church than I would from you Rex being I find you to be way more advanced.
