It's about time - now we can move forward.

Wonder what the idiots like Badecker and Bitchick are going to post now...

I do think that the Pope is pretty brave to say these things, now I'm waiting for someone to try shooting him over it.

Who knew that the unerring word of god could be so malleable.

[iluvbitcoins]

Catholics more advanced then other Christians?

So, when is the new bible edition expected to come out? What's this one gonna be called? The Newest (and Final) Testament (I Swear)? 

[BADecker]

It's all part of politics. See my post, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=794353.msg9373572#msg9373572 .

Good. Then there´s no need for him and other perpetrators of history´s greatest nigerian scam to keep it going any longer.

They will probably make it an E-book now .. so they can update new "insights" more easily

*ping* you have a new update for your bible, would you like to update to a more modern version of your book with weird believes?

[Hoffman]

The pope does not speak for god.  They're self appointed kings that control people with false religion.  The Vatican is just another financial super power, another government.

“The Vatican has billions of shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines, T.W.A., etc.”

Sure he does.  He is the sole representative of his god, same as you.

Edit:  That was a stupid comment, as the pope obviously believes his god is the one true god, applying to everyone. 

[Hoffman]

What does the pope have in common with Jesus?

The Catholic church has killed millions.

There's nothing "nigerian" about the Catholic Church.

It's very much a European organisation - ref. child sex abuse cases.

But he still says that it requires a creator at the beginning to start everything going of course. If he didn't, that would be a major change. xD
Does anyone think this will help keep intelligent design off school curriculum in America?

I was referring to the long running and gigantic money scam by the diverse christian operations.

Some places it´s even a state supported and sanctioned scam.

[b!z]

The Big Bang theory was hypothesized by a Catholic priest: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

Also the Catholic Church has accepted evolution for a century or so (maybe longer?) now, I believe. This isn't news.

If anything I think this will be used as an argument to reconsider it. If so, I hope the Pastafarians rise to the occasion and claim their right to equal time.

In December 2007, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was credited with spearheading successful efforts in Polk County, Florida, to dissuade the Polk County School Board from adopting new science standards on evolution. The issue was raised after five of the seven board members declared a personal belief in intelligent design. Opponents describing themselves as Pastafarians e-mailed members of the Polk County School Board demanding equal instruction time for the Flying Spaghetti Monster.[82] Board member Margaret Lofton, who supported intelligent design, dismissed the e-mail as ridiculous and insulting, stating, "they've made us the laughing stock of the world". Lofton later stated that she had no interest in engaging with the Pastafarians or anyone else seeking to discredit intelligent design. As the controversy developed, scientists expressed opposition to intelligent design. In response to hopes for a new "applied science" campus at the University of South Florida in Lakeland, university vice president Marshall Goodman expressed surprise, stating, "[intelligent design is] not science. You can't even call it pseudo-science." While unhappy with the outcome, Lofton chose not to resign over the issue. She and the other board members expressed a desire to return to the day-to-day work of running the school district.

According to Justin Pope of the Associated Press,
    Between the lines, the point of the letter was this: there's no more scientific basis for intelligent design than there is for the idea an omniscient creature made of pasta created the universe. If intelligent design supporters could demand equal time in a science class, why not anyone else? The only reasonable solution is to put nothing into sciences classes but the best available science.
    —Justin Pope

[Daniel91]

I think that Pope Francis is the best Pope catholic church had ever!
He really changed his church a lot, opened the church to everybody, even homosexuals and divorced people, and he is also reasonable man, not dogmatic, so he can accept scientific proofs and reality about evolution.
Way to go

Woop here it comes, I'm waiting for Badecker to denounce him as the devil trying to test their faith lol.

[medUSA]

The world has changed, science has advanced, believers have evolved. It would be extremely stupid for any religion to argue against evolution and big bang theories. Religions have to evolve too. Hence, twist traditional religious beliefs to fit the science. The Pope has basically admitted the book of genesis is a fairly tale.

[Lethn]

That hasn't stopped them so far from claiming evolution and the big bang theory is a load of shit, sadly even Ron Paul dismissed evolution once in a video, I think they're just going to go back to what they usually do, staying in denial and they'll denounce the pope and claim he's not the pope.

No no, it was the Prots who hard forked the Christianity project.  The Catholics (or was it the Orthodox?) are the canonical implementation.

Okay, okay. Just for you.

Popes make mistakes just like anyone else. If the Pope was simply speaking on his own, expressing an opinion, then he simply made a mistake, even if it was an intentional one. If, however, he was acting in his official position as Pope, head of the Papacy, then he was in his role of, as Martin Luther said many years ago, the anti-Christ.

The Pope of the Papacy is the acting anti-Christ of the Bible when he officiates. He's the right hand of the Devil. Each of you little people who support the Pope, and anything else that is against God and His truth, are, as John says in the New Testament, one of many anti-Christs.

[Daniel91]

I think that current Pope just realized what is obvious, that evolution and Big Bang doesn't contradict Bible and God's work.
It's pity that they needed such long time for such simple step. 

[Swordsoffreedom]

That pope has potential
He lives a modest life doesn't use all the luxuries and actually connects with the people
Still hope for the Catholic Church yet.
