Default The Pope is against Buddhism because it is a negative soteriology and the Pope is inf

Whatever the Pope says must be true. We know whatever He says is true because he's infallible. We know he's infallible because he says so and whatever he says must be true.We know whatever He says is true because he's infallible. We know he's infallible because he says so and whatever he says must be true...

Yeah, sure, he's the 'perfect' man. How did he get that way? He was elected by cardinals. Winning a vote can make someone 'perfect'? People who exalt themselves are often lacking, cannot see things from anther's point of view, or actually have fragile egos.

This is a poor understanding of papal infallibility. Papal infallibility does not suggest the Pope is a wandering superman, incapable of erring in any way. It is a very specific theory that if the Pope speaks ex cathedral (i.e. from the chair of Peter) what he thus proclaims is protected from error.

In the 2,000 year history of the Catholic church, this has been used exactly once, in the nineteen fifties.

The reference to Buddhism is actually from an interview book written by the last pope... and no, though I agree with his sensibilities on Buddhist serology,GUe did not proclaim the book to be from the chair of Peter, so to speak. T'ain't infallible.

I think to be honest the Pope is against Buddhism because it is against his own religion although none of us would say it.

The pope is NOT infallible in matters of doctrine or anything else. He is a man, just like the rest of us and a sinner too. The position he holds and the so called infallibility that he enjoys are creations of the catholic church. If he is infallible when did he start to be so? When he was born or when he was elected pope? What if he disagreed with a previous pope who, himself, was supposed to be infallible? This anomaly has happened several times in the past. How come, for example, some popes created saints and other popes abolished them? There are several others and don't forget that one pope turned out to be a woman and one died of gonorrhea and what about the pope who was one of the Borgia's, famous for their orgies and lasciviousness and drunken bawdy behavior.

The Pope is not infallible. The fact that he says that he is infallible makes him fallible. Jesus loves him anyway.

Jesus and Buddha teaching were basically the same...They taught the laws of the Spirit....working for good of others...practicing and telling truth for good...to be righteous to others..

The pope was not infallible when he tried to kill Gallieo...

even during world war two, this infallible anti-Christ could not figure out who was right or wrong... the ones killing millions of Jews, destroying the world... and taking it over

or was it the one defending itself.... This harlot to Christ only said both sides are wrong....the pig collected the good tithes along with the blood tithes

Jesus will get him in the end and all who follow....the pope is the harlot in the book of revelations and the modern day Church's are mystery Babylon..

Sorry, i don't believe that to be true. The Vatican, as of the last 20 or so years, has been nondiscriminatory towards any religion.

Peace and Love

Buddism doesn't go against any serology.GUt takes a completely neutral stance on God and Jesus.

In addition classically the Catholic church has never been against buddism because of thier neutral stance and peaceful ways. We used to have church groups and religions leaders visit our buddist temple all the time.

Here is kind of a a neat factoid: There has NEVER been a war fought in the name of buddism.

Why do you say "Whatever the Pope says must be true" ?

The Pope is just a man in charge of a very large and partially biblical religious organization. Any one who claims to be infallible has deceived them self and fallen far away from the teachings contained in the Bible.

Such a person is reminiscent of this passage from the Bible that drove the reformers of centuries ago to charge that the Pope was a manifestation of the anti-Christ who would lead people into a false worship system and away from the true ways of God.

"Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we beseech you, not to be quickly shaken from your mind, nor be disturbed, neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ has come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or every object of worship, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And now you know that which is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will continue until one comes out of the midst. And then the lawless one will be unveiled, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth, and will destroy by the brightness of His coming, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and in all deception of unrighteousness among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And because of this, God will send them strong delusion, in order for them to believe the lie, so that they all might be damned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

May I remind you, you Dumbo**, that infallibility is a rare occurrence and it happens on occasionally. It is a rare and wonderful event. No pope as ever been infallible all of the time.

Next time, before you start trashing my religion, check and make sure you actually know what your saying!

Please give me a article/ newspaper or site where its pr oven that the Pope said he is against Buddhism.

We follow the words of the ancestor of Saint Peter,who is the Pope, when God based his church, the Catholic Church.
