Papas Vito Borgia gave 50 years of his life in Gods service to the people of Malta. He also had an open door for all from afar. He is always remembered.

@johnthreesixteen316 "Another thing to remember is that the Roman Catholic church has removed the 'graven image' commandment." Removed my ass. The full text of the Decalogue is in my copy of the Catechism. You can open any Catholic Bible (in any language) and the clause against making images FOR WORSHIP will be there. Maybe you're just plain stupid to see.

@johnthreesixteen316 How lovely, a FOOL trying to defend another FOOL. Hey, it was kiwi"christian" who ran away from the discussion, not me. Pretty brave for someone who proclaims "biblical truth". And don't be such a cry baby you two, invading religious videos here on youtube, then cry "persecution" when challenged to defend your (false) beliefs. So who's defeated now? Disgusting. Pathetic. So worthy of your father-master lucifer.

@drupes Another thing to remember is that the Roman Catholic church has removed the 'graven image' commandment. By splitting the 10th commandment into 2 they still arrive at 10.

@drupes I don't see kiwichristian2009 saying anything other than biblical truth. Something which seems to be lacking amongst many of the world's 'believers' nowadays.

@drupes Before you say things against kiwichristian2009, maybe you should consider these words......."Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5

@drupes A painting of water can't save a thirsty person. At most it can only serve as a reminder of how much we need the real thing.

@drupes Hello friend. Your words have just shown that you have defeated nobody but yourself.

@kiwichristian2009 Remember me HERETIC? Why'd you run away from our debate the last time eh? Haven't received any response from you when my questions started piling up. Got cowardice? Prove to me, fool, that what you quoted applies to sacred images. Don't just copy paste, expound and defend your beliefs. I'd love to give you a public beating again here on youtube. Brainless prottie heretic.
