I was baptised Catholic, I feel that this is a very Historic news item. Peace and Love to everybody--Henry - ---Original Message Follows---- "James Bean" <spiritualawakeningatonelist CC: recip ient list not shown: ; The Pope's Apology to the Gnostics Thu, 16 Mar 2000 21:14:30 EST "James Bean" spiritualawakeningatonelist Dear Everyone: Does anyone on the list know if the Pope's recent apology is posted somewhere on the internet??? Recently saw posted on a newsgroup an excerpt from the Pope's recent apology which contained the following: Vatican City, 3.15.00, 8:00 AM [Associated Press] -- In a dramatic move today, Pope John Paul II, addressing the planet's Roman Catholic population via live satellite broadcast from his specially equipped popemobile, apologized to "gnostics and heretics" the world over for the "terrible sins of persecution and repression" carried out against "our heterodox brethren in Christ." "Theodosius was wrong to pass laws which made heresy a capital crime," said the octegenarian Master of Caremonies,....... "The Holy Roman Emperor should never have stamped out such groups as the Carpocratians, Barbelognostics, Sethians, Archontics, Phibionites, Valentinians and Basilideans. What good is the body of Christ without an arm, a thumb or a nose?" The aging pope also sharply criticized heresiological saints Irenaeus and Hippolytus, vowing to "investigate this fraud whereby narrow-minded censors are canonized in defiance of reason and common decency."

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 James, That's interesting, no, I don't but there's a great search engine called "Webferret" which you can download and which uses most of the existing search engines simultaneously so that you don't have to go for example to: Alta Vista; ; Lycos; etc., seperately, saves a tremendous amount of time. Just go to www.webferret.com. Thank you again for the beautiful poetry, Love*Light*laughter, ~ rainbo ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
