Leo, he was also a deserter from the German army.
He did say:
"..that theology must either bind itself to the church, with its creed and teaching authority, or it becomes the plaything of outside forces...."
One publicist said:
The Nazis helped him understand the liberal mind. Liberals are as closed to genuine dialogue as fascists.

2/3 Majority Vote Required to Elect New Pope
by Scully ini didn't realize this before.
and before reading crisis of conscience, i had no idea that this was the decision making process used by the governing body.. it's rather ironic that for a group that for decades has so consistently criticized everything about the catholic church, that they would follow this practice.. is this common in other churches and/or corporations?
just curious.

It's 2/3 of those present. But with the new rules written by JPII in 1996, after about 30 votes, its simple majority rule if the cardinals feel they are deadlocked. Everyone is touting this new rule but it is an option, they can choose to go majority or not.
In addition, the man who receives the votes does NOT have to accept the papacy.

Just spent a week skiing in Lake Tahoe. It was the rejuvenation I needed. My little girl was awesome. While there, I also took a nice long hot bath one night, went out to the casino another night........ what a blast.
Yesterday, we went to the neighbors house and laid by the pool, drank, had dinner together, got in their hot tub and visited with friends.
Since the vacation, I am concentrating on not getting stressed out and over-worked. This can probably last until the October RV show comes around then the rest of the year is sucky.

What the C/O overseer said
by NoAnswers inon the brothers last talk he was talking about how we should be good host.
like abbrahan was to the angels anyways..... he went on saying that some brothers in other countries have the elders deal with their financial neeeds it sounded that they give the money to them and they share it among the congrecation.
he then went on saying that if the governing body would ask us in this country to do that what would we do ?
