I hope the next one is a little more modern in his approach. This pope has done some pretty good things but i think is now doing more harm.

He's technically dead. He's biologically still alive but doctors have given up all hope. Only a matter of time.

Ever heard of something like 'compassion'? There's a lot about it in a certain book - it's called the Holy Bible, ever read it |

The first half sucks big time IMO, but it seems that I've misunderstood the general message, all right, I apologise |

It might suck, but when comparing the general teachiings of the Bible,
including the Ten Commandments, to his words, actions and lack of
speaking about forgiveness, it's indeed not very likely. As seen , it's
likely, there might be stuff going on which cleans him of this, but
it's certainly not very well known. If someone has some sources that
point to the man teaching forgiveness and persuing asking for it, I
would like to see, and I will retract my statement.

OK, I'm not a Catholic anymore, so I can't really point you to the sources, but he did apologise for the Inquisition, he sought reconciliation with the Orthodox Church (probably with the post-Reformation Churches, too) and carried on that whole dialogue with other religions thing. Apart from that a lot of stress is put on the importance of Divine and human mercy and forgiveness in the Catholic Church nowadays and I'm certain it must have been present in his teachings. He wrote a few books, but I only read one and it was a long time ago, so can't really tell anything more... |
