1. Remove 'Team Buhay, Team Patay' Posters in Philippine Catholic Churches

When the Commission on Elections of the Philippines asked some Catholic dioceses to remove their 'Team Buhay, Team Patay (Team of Life, Team of Death)' posters, posters suggesting who senatorial candidates must their respective constituents vote in the near May 2013 elections, with their stand on the reproductive health (RH) law as basis, the Catholic Diocese of Bacolod insisted that only the Vatican can order the removal of mentioned posters and they released that statement during the 'sede vacante (vacant seat)' period of the Catholic Church.

Now that the 'sede vacante (vacant seat)' period was over and the Catholic Church has a new pope, His Holiness Pope Francis, it is now the appropriate and proper time to ask the Vatican to order the removal of the said poster. It is an unethical and improper act to put such posters in a place supposed to serve the spiritual needs of the Catholic faithful. The separation of Church and State, both agreed on by the Church and the State, must be upheld always by both sides.

The Church must never involve itself in partisan politics, just like what His Holiness Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI said.

2. A Plea to Pope Benedict XVI to Postpone the Beginning of Lent by 24 Hours

Considering weather reports which predict heavy amounts of rainfall across the northern Gulf of Mexico (including New Orleans, Louisiana and Mobile, Alabama) over the next three days and considering the numbers of parades which are likely to be canceled as a consequence of such precipitation and remembering that those who have enjoyed themselves to the fullest on Mardi Gras and in the days prior are all the more likely to feel genuinely penitent (or at least hungover) on the first day of Lent....

3. Have Pope Benedict XVI Sectioned

If I said to you, "Oh I was thinking, maybe it is a good idea to use condoms after all," you'd send me to have my head looked at.

Therefore that is exactly what we should do with the Pope. Being given power should not be allowed to influence one's opinion on what is sane.

There are numerous other reasons the Pope is unfit to teach spirituality, including covering up child abuse sex crimes in the Catholic church.

4. Change Irish and World Law: More jail time for abusers, more support for victims

In Ireland we as parents are legally not able to view our sex offenders register. We as parents have the right to protect our children.

In the last year at least under 10 pedophiles and rapists have been released into communitys all over Ireland and the residents are not informed.Why is it these animals are getting protected yet their victims are forgotten. Recently 1 rapist/ paedophile in particular was granted an injunction by the high courts to able him to hide his identity from residents.

I ASK WHY IS HE ABLE TO DO THIS AFTER WHAT HE'S DONE? we need to send the message IF YOU DO THESE CRIMES YOU LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND FREEDOM.

5. Disobedience to Benedict XVI

Denying concrete progress made by all the humanitarian organizations during these last years, Pope Benedict XVI declared on March 17th 2009 during his visit to Africa: “Condoms are not the answer to the fight against HIV and AIDS and can make the problem worse”.

By virtue of his position as high moral authority and the audience this gives him, the Pope directly jeopardizes the inalienable right to “life, liberty and security of person” provided by article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

By virtue of his position, Benedict XVI speaks in the name of all the Catholics and by extension in the name of those who despite being non-practising Catholics were raised according to Christian principles. It is the same when he “forgives” negationist bishops while supporting the excommunication of the mother and the doctors of a nine-year-old Brazilian girl who aborted twins conceived after sexual abuses by her stepfather and whose life was directly threatened by her pregnancy. This while still considering the stepfather as being part of the congregation.

6. Petition für Papst Benedikt XVI. an den Vatikan

Petition für Papst Benedikt XVI.

Die Rede des Papstes ist vollkommen richtig!

Der Papst zitierte einen christlich-byzantinischen Kaiser aus dem 14. Jhdt., der die Aggression Mohammeds mit den Worten anprangerte:

"Zeigt mir doch was Mohammed Neues gebracht hat und da wirst du nur Schlechtes und Inhumanes finden wie dies, dass er vorgeschrieben hat, den Glauben, den er predigt, durch das Schwert zu verbreiten."

Sowohl das Wirken Mohammeds als auch der Koran sind wissenschaftlich nachweisbar auf absolute Kriegsagitation ausgelegt. Wir finden, dass ein Dialog ohne kritische Betrachtung auch eines Religionsstifters und seinem Buche im Zeitalter des Terrorismus, der gerade aus demselben resultiert, nicht möglich ist. Der Papst wurde verurteilt, ohne dass der geringste Versuch unternommen wurde, das Zitat argumentativ zu widerlegen. Im Gegenteil: Der Islam reagierte mit voellig wahnhafter, absurder Aggression, indem er Kirchen anzuendete und eine voellig unbeteiligte Nonne toetete. Das Statement der 'Antiislamisten' lautet daher, dass sich die Vernunft niemals der Gewalt und Brutalität eines kranken und unzulaenglichen Geistes, der unfähig ist, das rechte Wort zu finden, beugen darf. Das Wort sei das Schwert! Wer vor diesem Wort Angst hat, moege seine Zuflucht nicht in wahnhaften Vorstellungen verlieren, die ihn zur blinder Aggression antreiben! Wir fordern die gesamte muslimische Welt auf, sich nicht laenger feige hinter dem Maentelchen einer Scheinharmonie zwischen den Religionen zu verstecken, waehrend überall in der Welt von ihr Anschlaege ausgehen, die die westliche Welt bedrohen und die sie nun scheinbar billigend in Kauf nehmen soll. Wir fordern die gesamte muslimische Welt auf, sich unverzüglich dem Wort zu stellen, das an sie gerichtet ist. Ebenso erwarten die überwiegend christlichen Unterzeichner vom Vatikan, dass dieser nicht laenger aus Angst und Sorge um einen geheuchelten “Frieden” und Mitgliederverlust seine christliche Pflicht gegenüber Gott und seinem Wort vergisst und endlich tut, was er ihm geboten hat. Der Papst wird seine ruehmliche Stellung verlieren und die Kirche dem Untergang geweiht sein, wenn der Vatikan mit der Stimme der Menschen die Stimme Gottes verdrängen will, die gerade durch Benedikt XVI. zu hören war. Da wir den endgueltigen Zerfall der gesamten Christenheit nicht einfach hinnehmen wollen, unterzeichnen wir diese Petition in der Hoffnung, dass Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit, Liebe und Verstand, Ehrlichkeit und Wahrhaftigkeit letztlich doch noch siegen moegen!


ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Petition for Pope Benedikt XVI.

The speech of the Pope is perfectly correct!

In his speech, the pope quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who said: "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

Mohammed and the Koran are scientifically demonstrably appropriate for absolute war agitation. We find that a dialogue without critical view also a religion founder and his book is absolutely impossible in the age of the terrorism, which results straight from the same. The Pope was condemned, without the smallest attempt was undertaken to disprove the quotation argumentatively. On the contrary: The Islam reacted with completely delusion, absurd aggression, by igniting churches and killing a completely not involved nun. The statement of the ‘Antiislamisten’ therefore is that the reason may never bend itself the force and brutality of an ill and insufficient spirit, which is unable to find the right word. The word is the sword! We request the entire Muslim world not to hide itself longer cowardly behind the veil of an illusory harmony between the religions while everywhere in the world from it attacks proceed, which the western world have to accept. We request the entire Muslim world to place itself immediately to the word which is addressed to it. Likewise the predominantly Christian signer except from the Vatikan not to be afraid to say the truth. The Pope will lose his glorious position and will be doomed the church the fall, if the Vatikan with the voice of humans wants to displace the voice of God, the straight by Benedikt XVI. to hear was.

Since we do not want to accept the final decay of the entire Christianity simply, we sign this petition in hope that truth and justice, love and understanding, honesty and truthfulness will be victorious!

Both working Mohammeds and the Koran are scientifically demonstrably appropriate for absolute war agitation. We find that a dialogue without critical view also a religion founder is absolutely necessary and its beech in the age of the terrorism, which results straight from the same.

The statement of the ‘Antiislamisten’ therefore reads that the reason may never bend itself the force and brutality of an ill and insufficient spirit, which is unable to find the right word. The word is the sword! Who has fear before this word, its refuge does not like to lose in illusionful conceptions, which propel it to the blind aggression! We request the entire Muslim world not to hide itself longer cowardly behind the veil of an illusory harmony between the religions while everywhere in the world from it notices proceed, which the western world is to threaten and to accept it now apparently approving of. We request the entire Muslim world to place itself immediately to the word which is addressed to it. Likewise those expect predominantly Christian signer from the Vatikan that this forgets and finally does its Christian obligation not longer from fear and concern around a feign peace and member loss in relation to God and its word, what it it ordered. The Pope will lose his glorious position and will be doomed the church the fall, if the Vatikan with the voice of humans wants to displace the voice of God, the straight by Benedikt XVI. to hear was.

Since we do not want to accept the final decay of the entire Christianity simply, we sign this Petition in hope that truth and justice, love and understanding, honesty and truthfulness in the long run to nevertheless still triumph to like!

8. Remove evil from Roman Catholicism

December 25, 2005

A pandora's box of EVIL has been SPREAD over America and the Catholic hierarchy has done NOTHING to stop it nor condemn it. In fact they still allow homosexuality and abortion to flourish unimpeded.

The Pope must EXCOMMUNICATE all those catholics who AID, ABET AND COUNSEL ABORTIONS AND OR HOMOSEXUALITY.
