I like many others, have become intrigued by our newest pope. I found a few articles online that I have found very interesting. This is the first time that I have actually cared or even read about the pope. As I was reading these articles there were little bits that I had to look up because I had no idea what they were or what they meant. Unfortunately, I resorted to reading the wiki website. I could understand what they were talking about on that website, verses other “official” sites that made no sense to me. This weekend I went to the library with my kids and even picked up a book about the Vatican and the history of all the popes. I’m excited to read it and find out about the different

But it definitely sends a clear message. I feel that this pope is going to send a lot of new messages and change a lot of things. More interesting info was that, along with his degree’s in chemistry, philosophy, and theology, that Pope Francis was also a teacher. He taught philosophy, theology, literature, and psychology to college students before becoming a bishop. I found it cute that he was once a bouncer for the nightclub called Buenos Aires. He used his money from that job to pay for his pre-ecclesiastical studies. The second article that I read http://theweek.com/article/index/242601/7-fascinating-things-weve-learned-about-pope-francis, was from the same website, but was posted about two weeks after the other article I read. Yet again it is more insight to our newest pope and how he is already changing the face of the church. It talks about Pope Francis going to pay his own hotel bill, he canceled his own newspaper subscription, and he often says that priests from him on down need to serve people. Another powerful statement from Pope Francis is that he has chosen to live in the Vatican hotel called the Casa Santa Marta, instead of living in the papal apartment at the Apostolic Palace. The article says, “Francis will use the papal apartment as his workspace, to receive official guests and handle papal business. But he’ll live in the
I believe that at the end of chapter 1 in the book we are meant to feel that Cole is a very mean person. Also that he thinks he is better than everyone and he is superior, the evidence to show this is on page 4 when it states “Still standing on the dock in front of everyone, Cole smirked as he undressed.” This piece of evidence shows that cole thinks he is better than the people because he is smirking as he undresses in front of them. Another piece of evidence to show that cole thinks he is better than everyone is on page 5 and it says “Nothing could be farther from the truth. To cole this was another big game.” This clearly is showing that cole thinks he is better than everyone he takes everything as a game he doesn’t really realize what is
Thank you the M-1 Marvels for allowing me to be apart of the huddle this week!
The first one is that pope is not God. That the pope is comparing himself to God on the same level. According to document 1 the author states “that the bishop (the pope) is head of the holy church. And certainly the apostles of Jesus Christ never constrained any man to believe this concerning himself.” It means that the pope is saying that the head of the church and that he is teaching false things about god’s word. The next critical thing is the selling of indulgences.
You really wrote your post well! I did the exact same topic and how it was negative. The quote that you used, “If a woman should crush a man's testicle during a quarrel, they shall cut off one of her fingers. And even if the physician should bandage it, but the second testicle then becomes infected along with it, or she should crush the testicle during the quarrel- they shall gouge out both her ..." (Page 47). That quote was the quote that I was going to use in my post, but I decided not to. The way you explained how women were treated by men in your post was a great idea by using the in-depth quotes. To be completely honest, there was nothing positive about women and how their civilization was positive. The men treated women as
Pope Francis is the Pope for the Roman Catholic Church, he is the spiritual leader for the church with regard to doctrine and contemporary issues of the church. Pope Francis’s address was influenced by the Roman Catholic religion and American historical figures that were leaders or activists that desired equal opportunity and freedom for all people.
He indicates that in our attempt to gain more knowledge and wisdom that we press beyond the limits, and that some things mankind is not able to know. Pope suggest to the reader to submit to the laws of nature, and do not think or act beyond mankind. He has the concept that there is a divine order and grand scheme of things and to rest in the place that you are in. Pope states:
Francis of Assisi was a poor man who astounded and inspired the Church by taking the gospel literally—not in a narrow fundamentalist sense, but by actually following all that Jesus said and did, joyfully, without limit and without a mite of self-importance. Francis was famous for his love of all creation. He called for simplicity of life, poverty, and humility before God. He worked to care for the poor. Thousands were drawn to his sincerity, piety, and joy. In all his actions, Francis sought to follow fully and literally the way of life demonstrated by Christ in the Gospels. My report is going to discuss the life and contributions of St. Francis of Assisi.
I would like to compare/contrast Pope Francis vs. Pope Benedict XVI. During his first year in office, Pope Francis has become one of the world’s greatest social innovators. Many have celebrated Pope Francis as a spiritual leader, diplomat, and a politician. Pope Francis is a leader to start something new by launching a global campaign against hunger. Using social media, such as YouTube, Pope Francis sent his message out to elect a day, December 10th, for a world-wide rally. Additionally, Pope Francis is known for sending out tweets @Pontifex. By the use of social media, the Pope has captured attention all across the globe. Take for instance the time Pope Francis washed the feet of Muslim women in prison. Bloggers went wild with photos that
In March 2015, Pope Francis spoke to a gathering crowd at the Vatican in Rome, Italy. In his speech, Pope Francis reminder and urged listeners to honor and respect the elderly. He urged the world to aknowledge and reach out to the elderly in all ways possible.
The new series “The Young Pope” has gained rave reviews after it premiered on HBO last week, but it has also been slammed for its un-Christ-like portrayal of the Catholic Church’s leader.
St. Francis of Assisi was born in Umbria in the year 1182. He was a child every father hoped for, he was filled with life, a determined and courageous individual. He was gifted with rather good looks, qualities that attracted friends and a gift of leadership. His father was an extremely wealthy merchant in Assisi. But this son, his favourite, was the one who broke Peter Bernardone’s heart. The boy turned on his father, and in a vicious event that eventually resulted into a public scene. St. Francis of Assisi stepped away from his father, his business and left his father in a state of immense emotional suffering.
Much has been made of this pope’s penchant for simplicity and understatement, his preference for modesty over show. But as those charged with procurement of wafers and the placement of metal detectors can attest, nothing is simple about a six-day, three-city, two-dozen-event papal trip that is a cross between a military operation, a diplomatic mission and an arena-rock
The Papacy is the office of the Pope. The word pope comes from the Latin form of the word “Papa” which means father. The office of the Pope or rather the papacy is responsible for a wide variety of things. Specifically the Papacy’s main responsibility is the spiritual well being of the members of the Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church rose to power in the 6th century and lasted throughout the 9th century. There were several different circumstantial and also coincidental factors that contributed to the high regard of the church by the 6th century. The beginning was the church’s unsolicited popularity. This could be linked to its relationship with the early apostles. The Roman Church was the first in the empire
In the void left by the collapse of the Roman Empire, the bishop of Rome grew even more in both power and prestige beginning in the sixth century and continuing to the reformation in the ninth century. It is the aim of this paper to explain how and why the papacy in Rome became the center of power of the medieval world, the factors contributing to this dominance over Western Europe, and the positive and negative ramifications of the position becoming so powerful. Through this paper you will discover how papacy was able to fill the vacuum of power left by the fall of an empire.
