Entry: Bloody kansas Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/bloody_kansas#8091 Post contents: @Peter Ramus Since the Catholic church has a) canonized men and women of all ethic groups, which means that the faithful do pray to them to intercede for their souls, whatever the ethnic group of the faithful may be b) created cardinals of each various ethnic groups, all those cardinals being able to vote in the conclave to elect the next pope, and able to be elected Pope too (actually, in the last conclave there was a possibility that the next Pope should be an African) That tell you what the position of the Catholic church is. But what do you find so offensive? The reminder that we are redeemed all by the blood of Jesus Christ? Do you cling to the idea that you will be saved by your own effort? The reminder that, no matter what your race is, we are all equally in need of grace? The reminder that racial differences between men and women are but a small chasm compared to the difference between us and God? Sent at: 2008 07 23
