Of course not; it was Christ who was against that, not Moses.
.
Besides, the Bible’s Ten Commandments were adopted from ancient Egypt’s 52 “denials” in the Book of the Dead. The only difference was the wording used.

That’s the way it’s been for the past 2600 years; why should it change now?

It really wouldn’t matter.

The ten commandments are the ROOT of millenia of hypocritical moralizing and absurdly superstitious treachery.

So I can make a Pope comment here?
.
First, a joke… “Apparently the Pope ISN’T Catholic! Makes you wonder about them bears doesn’t it?”
.
When I heard the news today, “OH Boy!”
.
I NEVER liked this guy. I’m glad he’s going. But what happened to the “infalibility of the Pope”? He’s in office for life because he was God’s chosen one. What? The Pope gets to decide? Or did God make “mistake” and this Pope can go?
.
As a Catholic, I’m looking forward to the time between Feb 28 and the naming of a new pope, because that’s “free time” for Catholics. The line of communication between the Catholic and God is severed, God doesn’t know what you’re doing, so you can get away with ANYTHING. Hey I didn’t make the rules, some infallible Pope made them!
.
This time the Papacy returns to the Italians! Next one will be from Latin America… maybe… we’ll see how things are going."

I read about the Pope resigning and thought it funny that only cardinals over 80 can vote for the new one.
ReasonsVentriloquist said, 3 months ago
I watched enough of The Borgias on HBO to see the pope get elected.
.
It was quite the political fight to the political death. At hat time there was apparently no such restriction on age.

@Orthodox Catholic
Whatever…
.
If you think you’re telling me something new as regards my Catholicism you have another think coming.
.
As to hating the Catholic Church; that’s you projecting you hatred on others. I don’t hate the church. Of all the “Christian” religions, the Catholic Church is by FAR my favorite.
.
I think they are wrong, in many aspects of how they run their church, but then so do you.
.
As an “Orthodox” Catholic you find fault in Vatican II don’t you? You’d rather the Church go back to being in Latin wouldn’t you (as if God’s language is Latin, how ridiculous is that notion?)?
.
In terms of the issue of infallibility, it’s not about the Pope. it’s about the Pope’s faith in God’s will.
.
A Catholic will believe that in the terms of His church, God is the ultimate decider. Even though the Conclave is supposed to be apolitical still it is a collection of men trying to “hear” what God intends of them for the ultimate good of the Church and therefore the world. (One of the things I like about Catholics, they don’t pretend that they hear God all the time, like the nutjob Evangelicals do.) They will cast vote after vote until God moves enough hearts to make His will be done.
.
So His will was that Karol Józef Wojtyła be Pope. And thus were fulfilled the prophecies (Considering that John Paul I lasted a total of 33 days as Pope, one might start to wonder…)
.
And so was His Will that Cardinal Ratzinger become Pope Benedict. FOR LIFE!
.
But this Pope knows better then God. This Pope knows what the future holds. God’s plan isn’t good enough for this Pope. He has a better plan.
.
What happened? Did God change His mind? Did God change his (the Pope’s) mind?
.
From the very beginning of the Church’s history there have always been “rule changes” that allow whatever is going to happen or what has already happened to happen within the “rules” of the church. I don’t expect you to disagree with any of those “rule changes” (even though you appear to be against the ones you’re against). But I reserve the right to point them out once every 600 years when they happen.

@Orthodox Catholic
I am not a catholic but I find myself better informed than yourself on some items of doctrine as well.
The less the information content the more strident the statement seems to apply in your case.
.
I don’t hate the church, I mostly ignore it. But ill informed folks in my face are harder to ignore, nothing to do with the church itself, just people being people.
