That's not wine silly. That's the actual blood of Christ! Definitely not an intoxicant.
Yeah, the government has a monopoly on that already

And if he's referring to everybody else's drug policies, well then that makes him a hypocrit doesn't it. Then again, I believe that the fabric that ridiculous hat is made out of is interwoven with hypocrisy.
how does it make him a hypocrite?

Doing it purely for profit/gain is obviously an act of selfishness as you're profiting from others misery, but then that would cover a hell of a lot of others that haven't been condemed to the judgement of god by said man in dress (arms manufactures being a fucking good example as well as brewers - communal wine anyone - and various other folk). What about the Catholic church's past history - they've probably more deaths on their hands than all the drug dealers combined
Seems he's very selective in his condemnation so therefore rather hypocritical (the vatican having shares in a pharmaceutical firm manufacturing the pill being a glaring case). Basically they're full of self-righteous bollocks without any trace of insight to their own actions
actually, pretty much all acts of selfishness have been condemned. in the case of arms manufactures one could argue that guns don't kill people, people kill people. it's not necessarily wrong to manufacture a weapon.
fastandbulbous said:Well in that case, drugs don't kill people - ignorance does and the dealers aren't to blame, governments & religeous leaders are for being so crap about proper drug education. Will they be called to account? By your arguement above they should be
illuminati stylez said:What about all the drunk ass Catholics? In my town Catholic churches have carnivals to raise money. And at every one of the carnivals they have beer tents. I guess since the drug alcohol is legal, then its OK. Alcohol kills more people in the U.S. than any other drug. Drugs are drugs. The key is moderation. I'm tired of the hypocrisy. Pope should stop throwing stones when his own people are doing the same kind of dirt.![]()
Will God ever call to account hypocrite popes?n4k33n said:God will call drug dealers to account, says Pope
