Pope forgives Beatles

[norrahe]

It took the Catholic Church 700 years to apologise for their role in the destruction of the Knights Templar.

And probably 1000 years to apologise for the Paedohphile priests mess.

That's if they actually acknowledge it first.

Look Corporal, you wouldn't want to f**k with those boys.

circa 2000yrs and counting -
still clinging to Transubstantiation and Papal Infallibility - I think?

I was talking about the Vatican Guard, not the hand wringing Nancy boys that they're protecting.

Sorry CM.

What about apologising for burning heretics?

Or is that still allowed?

Allowed? It ought to be actively encouraged, provided we can upgrade the literal meaning of "heretics" to incorporate politicians etc.

What? The burning or apologising?

That would be an ecumenical matter...

[shaunbhoy]

As in "ecumenical" with the truth?

Oh yes, mercenaries loyal to their contracts (historically, that is).

At one point the best (and most ethical) fighting force in Europe.

Be fair - papal infallibity was only declared a couple of hundred years ago. It says that in certain circumstance the Pope can make statements that are without possibility of error. (Not that he can't sin, or can't make mistakes otherwise). Such statements are that Mary was born without sin (Immaculate conception) and that she ascended to heaven (assumption of Mary).
