I'm sure you have thick, sub human eyebrows. All eggplants do.

Worth its own thread?

The Pope is bringing Liberation Theology in from the cold.  Perhaps not all that unpredicatable but still significant.

Why, since we already know how you define it.

Because it puts emphasis on the Catholic Church's social justice mission, which is one of the parts I approve of. It's a nice counterpoint to the social conservatism that has been the public face of Christianity these last few decades.

I wonder what derspiess might think about this.

[Josquius]

I also approve.
Long ago the fundies learned they could make headway by preying on the poor, which would help gain followed both there and at home thanks to the good PR. If the mainstream churches also put effort into the Christian thing then this will be headed off... And the poor will be helped. Win win

I don't know what they did.
But fail.
