CONCERT FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II

[TheDaveWARREN]

This one is great.

[crhood2166]

What a load of crap. They're trying to verify his "miracles" so they can fast track his "sainthood" because, guess what?, that brings in more money for the church! What a scam. They're doing the same thing with Mother Theres. And dumb ass Catholics keep feeding in their hard earned money like suckers. "A fool and his money...."

[handellgr]

My dear friend;

What a comment so full of hate and false statements.

John Paul II is an inspiration, for that reason he will be a Saint and so Mother Theresa.  They lived their live giving it to others. What a great example.

We Catholics aren't 'dumb'. We are simple people.

That is what I think.

[crhood2166]

@handellgr

There is a fine line between "dumb" and "simple" and "naive" isn't far away from that group, either. If you really look at the "miracles" they cite as introduce the sainthood of your idols, you'll see the reality....so don't look too closely since you clearly have a

"simple" and easy way of life with no place for logic or fact.

[handellgr]

crhood2166

I may be 'naive', but your lack of knowledge is evident, even for a 'dumb' like me. Saints are not idols! We pray WITH them, NOT TO them. Please check your dictionary, or check the Catholic Encyclopedia. Yes I am simple, but it does not mean that I do not know logic. And also, I want to tell you that the money given to the church is used to feed and help. You should take a walk in Cuba. Nuns and Priest make a difference. If you ever need help go to them, they will help you.

[crhood2166]

@handellgr

If you believe the money given to the church is used to help and feed, you should do your research and see where the majority of the money Mother Theresa raised went to...I'll give you a hint, it wasn't feeding or helping the hungry and poor. And how do you remedy one of the "miracles" attributed to her - a woman claiming that a M.T. chatchki cured her cancer when even the woman's husband calls that B.S. and says it's the chemo she had? Your church is a business, nothing more.

[PurPeeZ]

@crhood2166 Catholics are not dumb a**es. But you might be one...

[crhood2166]

@PurPeeZ

How many billions of dollars in hush money do they have to give to their pedophile-riddled church before they're officially dumb asses?

[krecikgosinka]

@crhood2166

You are narrow minded !!! and vulgar ....like these pedophiles  which were just tiny drop within and Ocean of Pure Blessings other good Priests bring to The Church and offer to faithful..

[crhood2166]

@krecikgosinka

Vulgar? Perhaps. But which of us is the narrow minded one? Feel free to dispute any of my statements - 1. The Catholic Church, including Popes, knew about cases of child molestation and covered them up. 2. Very little of the money that Mother Theresa raised actually went to helping the poor. 3. There has not a single "miracle" cited by the Church that has ever been independently verified by the scientific community. How far in the sand is your head, anyway?

[PurPeeZ]

@crhood2166 Catholics can give as generously as they want and they still won't be officially that title . The church isn't pedophile-riddled , maybe your mind is because that is the only thing you seem to focus on . I am sure that the Church's blessings far outnumber these problems . But you don't know that , do you ?

[BeethovenBonn]

In my opinion to fast...the end getting faster step by step !!! Boys choir doesnt improve !!!

[andystar1969]

slightly rushed

[krispradez]

@olsono:

i did some research on this, most videos are on youtube, when other people say "i am an atheist" or something that denounces religion or the existence of god, i figured out that these people generally lack attention and have some of their very important prayers unanswered. for example, if a person prayed too much for a dream partner and it never happened and he ended up with ugly betty, the more chances that he will denounce god.

failure without understanding and with no one to blame

[jamie199104]

my goodness, saying that i dont believe god because i cant get a girlfriend, as an atheist i find insulting. i am very happy without religion in my life, denouncing god is not about praying and not getting what you want, infact i went to church religously for 10 yers (by my parents), when i was old enough i made my own decision and left because i found it a complete waste of my time, i personally didnt believe, you are painting everyone with one big consuming brush my friend.

[evarrafael]

i wish that someday i can sing this song in the choir....

[olsono]

jamie199104 :: "non-biased non-religious site"

Jamie, I think you have a wrong idea about Religion. Religion offers a view on the Ultimate Purpose and Reason for life. This radically effects whatever small thing you may do. So there is more need to talk about it -- than to talk about the weather.

[jamie199104]

olsono, i have no view on religion,this music is beautiful weather it is religious or not,religion does not affect my life in any way apart from when i come into contact with people who do practise religion and in todays society this is becoming less likely.but as some people on here have done , spouting religious babble, that doesnt make sense, helps no-one.stating who this piece of music was about "religiously" helps me understand it,not what jus546 below, has written.

[jamie199104]

ooooh i wish people wouldn't preach on youtube I mean they have every right to. go free speech!.But there are plenty of sites where you could express your religious feelings. youtube is a non-biased non-religious site :D

[Drahomischlensky]

To think that there is "no-biased site" is a big bias itself.

[jamie199104]

this is an area where youre supposed to comment on your views about the video, not religous babblings, that serve no use, its the same all over the website, however i didnt expect this sort from here.

[JuS546]

Of course, the Successor to St. Peter was/is a human person...As was St. Peter...The Vatican offers the world, on behalf of The Church, the apostolic tradition of faith in our Risen Lord, and professes this in song, art, architecture, and every means available...Those in opposition to this reality need to acquaint themselves with world history, before passing judgment on this remarkable and vibrant community of faith!

[AKSTERSKY]

it's all organized crime against humanity: suffering for what?

[robertox]

BEAUTIFUL

[Auroster]

Is that kid at 1:23 Rabi Ramadani?????

[thesantick]

Beautiful!! JPII a great man!

a great Pope.

No doubt you are blessed in the presence of God.

[ruescalanteadan25]

Why singing to someone that is just a man??? a sinner like everyone born in this world??? This is something against the word of GOD, and GOD HIMSELF.

El es un usurpador de la Gloria de DIOS!!!

[nekson]

i agree, but when i listen this song i sing it for God. may peace be with you

[bullhorn143]

there's something wrong with you if hairs don't stand up on end when you hear this

[kappapi560]

Communication can be accomplished without being hateful and rude. Speaking out of love for your fellow man will bring about a more favorable response as well as a level or respectability. Do not add to the act of informing your opinion by the flair of arrogance. This immediately causes discontent and incites anger. One kind sentence is more effective that an entire book written in anger and arrogance.

[kappapi560]

Technically if you are a believer in a doctrine such as Christianity or Islam , for example, that is based upon books that have been mistranslated, parts omitted from, parts added to, and stories skewed then you are a follower. With these facts made known it is up to the individual to discover his/her own connection with God or whatever name you choose to give. But one should not persecute or judge another for their religion, there are better ways to make a point.

[sosickofrudes]

Anyone else find the 60 foot lizard man sculpture disturbing?I certainly do.If you have a plausible explanation of what that thing is doing on the stage please enlighten me.

[cilicio]

The bronze sculpture, made by the Italian artist Pericle Fazzini in 1977, represents the 'Kurios', the Lord Jesus Christ risen from the deads.

[Slimefreak86]

Gelobt sei Gott der Allmächtige!!!

I saw the new pope Benedict XVI 2005 in cologne.

God is the best!!!

[salvationofchirst]

Hey ukidding the only way to reach everlasting life is to belive in the one true God and is to belive in the Salvation of Jesus Christ who die for all of mankinds sins if you reject this you will be burning in a lake of fire for all eturnity. Also what do you belive what will happen to your sprit when you die.

[sosickofrudes]

The spirit may well be eternal and you can believe this without believing in God and Jesus.Why don't you checkout ZEITGEIST the movie guys it might help you clarify a few things!I admit it's fairly simplistic but might help you to free yourselves from the illusion.

[KORVELLO]

THE POPE IS THE BEAST IT ALL LOOKS CLEAR WHEN U INVESTIGATE THE FACTS OF WHAT'S BEHIND THAT MONSTROUS ORGANIZATION,ALL DEMONIC INFLUENCE ,INQUISITION,PATHETIC LIES LIKE PURGATORY,PRAY TO STATUES,PRAY TO DEAD AND FOR DEAD PEOPLE,IMPOSE RELIGION baptism of unaware babies and so on no wonder they will go all to hell.

[slyder25]

Skinny dipping in the lake of eternal flame... Hmmm....sounds like fun to me.

What a bunch of superstitious mumbo jumbo. No different than those who used to believe Apollo drove a chariot with the sun across the sky each day, or that the world sits on the back of an enormous turtle. Each religion is just another form of superstition, even the ones practiced now. (Even though most practicing them now would never believe that.

[ukidding]

I am religion free. Benefits: No superstitions re heaven,hell.limbo.... No worship: its non egalitarian anyway. No church: no boredom or sore knees. No donations - save money No wars, murders and conflict. No pope, promoting supernaturals. No bible - peculiar, vague style. No dark ages: or dark age mentality. All we know about god comes from the mouths and pens of men. Religion? No way!

[bulababe92]
