Do you really think that this ongoing problem is political? Please realise, this is a burning SOCIAL problem.
What is the problem in having dialogues? If innocent lives could be saved.
no its not a case of one or the other. i didn't say its not a social problem. but one does not exclude the other. regardless of what you call it. burning or red hot or dripping wet or oily. this is not only a social problem. it is also a political problem. its not a case of either-or.
the pope is merely a figurehead. he was removed from any real decision-making power in 1533 when henry VIII separated the church and the state.
in essence this means that if usa or uk want to bomb a country, a pope has no power to stop it. when israeli soldiers bullet-riddled the statue of Mary in Bethelem the pope had no authority to stop them. you can play hanky-panky with the pope all you want but when push comes to shove he will not i repeat he will not answer your call.
