Pope Benedict XVI: Other Christian Denominations Are Fake
In a report issued on Tuesday, that has the world of Christiandom reeling Pope Benedict XVI has declared other Christian denominations "not real churches".
Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church. He does however give a back handed pass to the Greek Orthodox Church. Orthodox churches are indeed "churches" because they have apostolic succession and enjoy "many elements of sanctification and of truth." But because they do not recognize the primacy of the Roman Catholic pope — a defect, or a "wound" has harmed them.
In a decree issued on Saturday, Pope Benedict XVI authorized wider use of the old Latin mass.

Who are we to listen to? A man or God? Shows me that the Protestant faith is a kinder Christian faith.

As a Mormon, I've been told I'm not a "Christian" by many of the same people who are now up-in-arms about the Pope's statement. What comes around goes around.

How old is this man? Dementia must be setting in. My husband raised as a catholic wanted to know why the church doesn't use the Bible. The priest said that they are not sophisticated enough to understand the Bible.
My sister's friend, who at one time wanted to be a priest had a friend who worked at the Vatican at the time they were choosing a new pope. Both of them said they hoped this guy wouldn't be chosen as he would return the catholic church back to the old times. Seems they were right on the mark.
After Pope John Paul, this pope is a disappointment to Catholics.

Thank you anonymous posters for your comments.
Some protestant believers say the LDS is a religious cult organization.
Many people, Roman Catholics included, believe Pope Benedict XVI's
pope hat s too tight.
His decress and opinions would be understandable if he were wearing the traditional triple crown or Triregnum or Pope tiara.
No matter we think he is the perfect match for these times.
The rocks in his head fit perfectly into the holes in the head of our president George W. Bush!
