Pope mentions the needs of a dialogue between science and religion, noting that "on many specific issues the Church does not have to

additional aspects of being a transcendentalist are doing what you believe in and this is exactly what Pope Francis does. “I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security” (Pope Francis). Known for his compassion and strong support of the poor and marginalized, Pope Francis goes against old

According to historians, the time of which Pope Innocent III ruled was the height of the papal monarchy in Medieval times. Innocent was well-loved because he used his power where he was supposed to, put bad kings in their places, and was not too worldly. If he hadn’t had been the ideal pope, he would not have gotten the papacy as far as he did. He made it clear that he was the most powerful ruler when he made the sun and moon analogy. He radiates God’s authority, and the king just reflects it-- just

Francis X. Rocca and Felicia Schwartz’s article, “Pope, Trump Spar on Immigration,” Rocca and Schwartz argue about the strong disagreements the Pope and Donald Trump hold on Immigration.

I come here to talk about how Mr. Pope killed an innocent man, for a ignorant reason. On a Monday of October 31, 2032, Mr. Pope sliced into pieces and shoved up under 3 wooden floor planks a 75 year old man because he did not like the way his eye looked. There was a complaint from Shelly Lawrence, the neighbor of the old man. The police came and beaten on the door until Mr. Pope came.

the crusades. He started his talk by stating that the crusading activities took place mainly in the Levant, Turkey and Greece, Germany and France. Alexius the first Comnenus wrote a letter to Pope Urban II. He was asking Pope Urban to send him soldiers to capture his lost lands. The reason why he wrote to Pope Urban is that he only recognized his authority and not recognizing the king of France’s authority not the king of Germany and the other kings. Urban takes the call very seriously which led him

Although the act that occurred at Clermont was not recorded, five men who heard and was present at Clermont recorded their versions of the speech.
