I don't do this back and forth stuff because it's a waste of bandwidth and I have my say and you have yours. But..

Well then if your not a Repub then you must have the Repub mentality. Iow, you don't believe facts or if you don't know then you just doubt what you don't know.
Sooo, do you believe that the church is involved in American politics? I sent an email to him on Dec. 14, 2004 and asked him to please stay out of American politics. On Feb. 28,2005 he made a public statement that the Catholic church was not involved in American politics. Of course the pope was lying. He who also denied involvement in pedophilia also was very much involved in our politics. 
I put a certain phrase in my email and the pope used that very same phrase in his signed response. 
Do you also know that that Popes Pius XI and XII were aligned with Hitler before (Reichskonkordat of 1933( during and even after WWII?
So try to not believe everything the church prelates say about many other things.
