Jesus was born without original sin. (The Immaculate Conception).

The only other known humans born without original sin are Adam and Eve because sin originated after their rebellion.

The Pope is not passing anything equating Mary on the same level as Christ. Catholics have always prayed to Mary. Didn't you ever hear of the prayer called "The Hail Mary"?

Catholics also believe upon her death she was taken up to heaven, body and soul. She is considered the Mother of the Church.

What's with the recurring anti-Catholic stuff on the board?

What's the death toll this year alone from Catholics strapping on bomb belts? What's the death toll this year from Catholics driving truckloads of explosives and blowing them up? What's the death toll this past week alone? Or how about today?

Some people here could do with a little less PC and diversity training and a little more reality.

Stop being cowards and criticizing the Pope because he's an easy target and it's accepted by your cowardly rules of political correctness to insult a white Christian leader. Direct your bullshit against those who actually preach and practice hatred and death in the name of religion. There are those who would kill you and your family in the name of religion if they could. The Pope would never advocate harming anyone.

If you are anti-religion then insult them all with equal enthusiasm. At least start with the worst and most dangerous and deadly.
