The Bible never prohibits priests from marrying and having children. So, it seems to me that if the Roman Catholic Church stops deviating from simple, and straightforward biblical doctrine, none of these abominations would ever happen.

Pope John Paul II got shot and he was always sick. But he never quits. Whatever, i never really did trust Pope Benedict's evil eyes.. The Illuminati must have scared him off "OR" he's a pure pledge member. "OR" maybe the soon to be Pope has something important to black-mail him. Either way, we all know that they're all corrupted weighing back the centuries. (rolls eyes)
