What the

new Pope said about the Buddhists, Hindus and gays

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1986 Ratzinger issued a

letter to the Catholic Bishops in which he wrote that homosexuality was a

‘tendency’ towards an ‘intrinsic moral evil’…

Dear Rob:

I was comparing Sri Ramana with the new pope and my better half let me

know that the pope has more power than Sri Ramana because he has 1

billion followers. Does Ramana have that many followers? Please dont

tell me about other planes.

 

Well I sure did react to what the new pope said. More work for this

exhausted soul.

 

Love,

Alton

It's apples and oranges. They are different sorts of things. The pope is

in the business of telling people what to think and how to live. That's his

job because telling people those sorts of things is the purpose of the

church.

 

Ramana almost never said anything about what to think or how to live. That

wasn't his function. That's not what he did.

 

> Does Ramana have that many followers?

 

This pope doesn't have any followers. The church has members. If he lives

long enough maybe he'll gain a personal following like John Paul had.

 

You're upset because the pope thinks homosexuality is evil. Well of course

he thinks that, because the Bible says so. What in the world do you expect

him to think? How could he think otherwise? It's his job to think that.

 

Well I suppose he could follow the examples of some of the Protestant

denominations who have stopped basing their teachings on what the Bible

says. But the Roman church is too bound by tradition.

Well now Sri Rob:

You have what I dont have, that is HUMILITY.

 

Now I know why you keep this group.

You are fated to be Realize if you are not already and a Guru like Sri

Ramana.

 

Please email me when you are willing to have me as your CHELA.

 

With all the love that Sri Ramana grants me,

Alton

Ah, Alton, you overestimate me. I don't have humility. What I have is the

sin of self-contempt.

Sure, why not. We can start today. What sort of chelation would you like?

Transmisson of the flame like Sri Ramana gave. If you cant give just

yet will you pray for me?

 

Thanks in advance and in retreat.

Alton
