Perfect timing with the Pope. He's on twitter now... I wonder if they'd take confessions there? Congrats on the win...

You know that the Roman Empire fought the Apostles of Jesus and only one of them had normal death....then came Constantine who became Christian but for only political reasons to unite the Roman nation...now Is IT wired that the concept Family of God (Father , Son) (Zeus false God and Hercules sun of God) was originally derived from the Roman Empire,,,, This is why is Islam is the final religion ...to correct that Idea and other Ideas ............Regards,(^^)

I wonder what you would be whispering in his ear PD; I have enough trouble confessing to God without doing it with a man. Has anyone ever figured out who the pope confesses to?

never .a doubt .mr pope is just a human .so it is natural that pop might break the ten commands.sorry .then

Nice words written here. It would be nice for the Pope to hear our confession. I wrote a poem for Pope John Paul. I use to like him until I found out certain things about him. But I'm no one to judge. Many blessings to you. Lucilla

Cool, PD.... I read that Pope John Paul11 used to hear confessions incognito at times. true story.

Oh look, a spiritual poem!! I had to comment on your entertaining S_____ on my Lake of Fire write. I have to simply agree with you, PD...The difference is this for me...Does the message of the poem point to the Heavenly Father and give Him glory?...or that other guy?...Oh my,...I could talk to you for hours about spiritual things in my life...I have made a kazillion mistakes and God has held me in the palm of His hand...the consequences are not erased...His love is there constantly tho! I wish I spoke espanola and could write poetry in it too. :)
