catholics. they believe: the first pope was st. peter, and Jesus built his church from him. popes are the direct successors of him. i forget how many popes there have been. 270? something like that. the pope is infallible in regard to teaching and verifying that kind of stuff. they have had corrupt popes but they have not made any laws or whatever that were corrupt. catholics look for leadership in the pope. blahblahblah i don't know what else. i could ask my father later.Originally posted by Spec

Why do they beleive? What do they beleive in? Why dont they pray for Allah? What makes them think they are right and Boudists are wrong for example?
This really makes no sense to me.

They believe because a 32 year old carpenter was nailed to the cross by the Romans and rose from the dead three days after he was buried.
What do they believe?
There's a pretty quick and comprehensive summary.
Because Muhammed copied from the Bible. They were there 600 years before there was any Islam.Why dont they pray for Allah?
Goes back to the resurrection. If Christ died and rose from the dead, then it makes sense that we should follow him over the other folks.What makes them think they are right and Boudists are wrong for example?
Catholics say that the Buddhists are right in some things, but wrong in others, it's not that simple to say they Buddhists are wrong in everything.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Second, my question was kind of a trap. Buddism is not a religion, its a philosophy. See?Originally posted by Ben Kenobi

President Reagan and Pope John Paul II met on September 10, 1987 in Miami, Florida, during the Holy Father's visit to the United States. Source: The Reagan Diaries, HarperCollins, 2007.
There may have been other visits, who's to say, but the above cannot be disputed.

Yes we do.First off, do you really beleive he came back from the dead?
Umm ok.Second, my question was kind of a trap. Buddism is not a religion, its a philosophy. See?
And that source, scroll down and skip the 'history' part. Start at section II the 'Old Roman Creed'.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I don't know of any other leader/celebrity for whom people line the streets of Washington. It just doesn't happen too often.Originally posted by MarkG
so (to copy Daily Show), Bush decided to pick up the Pope from the airport? apparently he hasnt dont this for any visiting leader/celebrity...I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.
