I am genuinely surprised that the Pope still thinks that majority of the world gives a shit what he thinks. First it was the condoms, now video games. What's next homophobic comments and attacks on Islam?

I don't think the majority of the world gives a shit, but I do think a billion Catholics, and many hundreds of millions of other Christians do.

Let up dude.

I respect the Pope only because he is the longest living person ever. Seriously I was hearing about things this guy did circa 1300 and he is still around. Kudos.

A lot of hate in this thread? He did not single out video games at least, but lumped them in with all entertainment. And is this not expected? The church should not endorse violence, or anti social behavior, or the trivialization of human sexuality. Especailly aimed at kids. I think he worded it perfectly.

I agree with whatever he said.

sort out your own publications old man, before you judge others!

 

i quote God about the Bible:

"i never said that!"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I actually agree with the Pope on this one here.

video games drive kids away from the church, and god forbid, priests sure don't want our precious kid NOT alone in the church with them, do we?
