The Christian Discussion thread IX: Pelagius Rising.

[Northern Davincia]

Not something anyone can know.

Even Christ doesn't know.

That is a bold claim.

If you could pick any current Cardinal for the next Pope, who'd you pick?

First non-Middle Eastern-Asian Pope when? I'm very partial to having Cardinal Tagle up there in the Vatican.

Nah, we need an American pope.

[Pasong Tirad]

Even Christ doesn't know.

That is a bold claim.

Isn't he right, though?

But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

I'm good, thanks.

Jesus and God are the same God though, just different Persons.

POPE AYMOND OR GET OUT.

Honestly the only reason I'd object to a Filipino Pope would be because the CBCP handles sex abuse cases so so so poorly. No trials, no defrocking (except for the occasional priest or two, especially one that gets too much media attention), just a lot of cover-ups and a lot of priests reassigned to a different diocese.

That's highly unfortunate...

I just want to be able to claim a Pope from my state.

[Sulania]

Hey guys, it's been a while!

I've been super busy since the past, like, while. I got a second job to help pay off college, while I am in college, so time has been a little hard to come by to get on NS.

What's wrong with a wholesome American pope?

Nothing. To quote Lumi:

[Bienenhalde]

Nah, we need an American pope.

Pope Francis is an American pope.

[Northern Davincia]

Nah, we need an American pope.

Pope Francis is an American pope.

No he is not. Argentina is quite distinct from America.

[Bienenhalde]

No he is not. Argentina is quite distinct from America.

Is not:

[Salus Maior]

No he is not. Argentina is quite distinct from America.

Is not:

Is South America tho.

[Northern Davincia]

No he is not. Argentina is quite distinct from America.

Is not:

The Americas are not equivalent to the United States of America.

[Salus Maior]

Even Christ doesn't know.

That is a bold claim.

No, it does say that in the Bible I'm pretty sure.

[Salus Maior]

If we're limiting it to cardinals, Burke or Ghi. For any high ranking cleric, I'd pick patriarch Stevchuck or archbishop Schneider.

Burke would be cool, but he's getting up there as far as I know...

*Looks on Google.*

Oh wow, he's 69? He's younger than my current Bishop. XD

What about Cardinal Sarah?

I don't know a ton about Cardinal Robert Sarah but he seems like a really great guy, firmly and outspoken orthodox too.

Plus, we can get all those idpol guys to get off our backs about a black Pope

[Northern Davincia]

That is a bold claim.

No, it does say that in the Bible I'm pretty sure.

Aye, but it's interesting nevertheless. The trinity, we would expect, shares knowledge between its persons even though the second coming is known only to the Father.

[Lost Memories]

Aye, but it's interesting nevertheless. The trinity, we would expect, shares knowledge between its persons even though the second coming is known only to the Father.

Maybe it's to be intended as there isn't a predetermined date, so there isn't knowledge about it in the trinity, but when a date will be decided we'll perceive it as a decision of the Father.

The concept of the trinity is indeed interesting to think about.
Wouldn't it be similar to a dice? Where each person is a face of the dice, the dice is a single entity, but each face is different. And humans are only able to see one side at a time, because that whole dice has too many dimensions to be fully perceived at once.

Though I find more interesting the metaphorical meaning of the second coming, where it isn't important when it'll happen, but how to use the time waiting for it, which should be used by being dutyful and always proper and ready.
If the parable of the watchful servants is to be taken as a reference to the second coming.

I am a former protestant myself. I highly encourage you to look for churches that do not follow sola fide or sola scriptura.

It certainly makes American Atheists not know what to say to you.

[Luminesa]

No he is not. Argentina is quite distinct from America.

...Erm...South America.

[Vulkata II]

Has there actually been a viable American candidate for the Pope-pency before?

[Northern Davincia]

No he is not. Argentina is quite distinct from America.

...Erm...South America.

I will never understand how people use America to refer to both the north and south continents.

Has there actually been a viable American candidate for the Pope-pency before?

Not to my knowledge.
