Ever see those movies where people become zombies who want to eat other people's flesh - and the others who see them are so freaked out by it, the braindeath of those they knew and all, that they start shooting them because they can't cope with zombies eating people, or people becoming zombies.
I kinda feel like that when I hear words like "the faithful and discreet class"

ROLF Paduan!!
Maybe you have a point there! Kiddin.
I know JWs seem insane but dont Catholics believe God a.k.a Jesus speaks to The Pope or something? Could you direct me to some literature to show me what Catholics believe on this subject?
Also, What kind of things can a Catholic get excommunicated for?
Glad Im not a Zombie anymore !!!
Ciao 4 now,U_R
Excommunicated - I'm not sure - there's not a lot. Willful abortion is one, and it's not like a punishment - it's to stop other people from doing it - I don't think murder is because people in general already believe it to be wrong.
Catholics don't believe Jesus speaks particularly to the pope anymore than He speaks to anyone else, and I don't know if there is any literature about it - I don't know anyone who has ever believed that.

Thanks Paduan.
When I was a little girl my Catholic relatives believed Jesus spoke to the Pope.
They are from Latin America.
I have an Italian Uncle (from Milan) who studied to be a priest. He is now around 75. When he went to seminary they taught Jesus spoke through the Pope.
I also saw in a program about Nastodamus where he bowed before a then monk because he had a vision this monk would be Pope. In that program it said Catholics believed God spoke to the Pope and people thought God gave Nastrodamus his predictions.
Thats why I wondered.
I know the modern Church keeps up with the times and there for could have changed these beliefs.
I always enjoy your answers and threads on this forum once again, Thanks for your answer.
