Dr. Ron Paul for Pope John Paul ll - Yeah!!!

HAS DR. RON PAUL CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT HIS STANCE ON POPE JOHN PAUL II?
http://www.ronpaulwarroom.com/?p=8021

In this video you will witness Dr Ron Paul praising Pope John Paul II, as being one of the great religious leaders of modern times, and an eloquent champion of human freedom and dignity. Unlike all-too-many misguided religious leaders, the Pope understood that liberty, both personal and economic, is a necessary condition for the flourishing of human virtue.

The Pope's commitment to human dignity, grounded in the teachings of Christ, led him to become one of the most eloquent spokesmen for the consistent ethic of life, exemplified by his struggles against abortion, war, euthanasia, and the death penalty.

Unfortunately, few in American politics today adhere to the consistent ethic of life, thus we see some who cheered the Pope's stand against the war and the death penalty while downplaying or even openly defying his teachings against abortion and euthanasia.

Others who cheered the Pope's opposition to abortion and euthanasia were puzzled or hostile to his opposition to war. Many of these "pro-life supporters of war" tried to avoid facing the inherent contradictions in their position by distorting the Just War doctrine, which the Pope properly interpreted as denying sanction to the Iraq war. One prominent conservative commentator even suggested that the pope was the "enemy" of the United States.

In conclusion, I am pleased to pay tribute to Pope John Paul II. I would encourage those who wish to honor his memory to reflect on his teachings regarding war and the sanctity of life, and consider the inconsistencies in claiming to be pro-life but supporting the senseless killing of innocent people that inevitably accompanies militarism, or in claiming to be pro-peace and pro-compassion but supporting the legal killing of the unborn.

I'm a protestant, and I have no problem with that speech. It was praising Pope John Paul II for supporting the consistent life ethic. Yes I have theological differences with the Roman Catholic Church, but If their leader consistently condemns legalized homicide whether in the womb or the war zone, than he should be cheered on. I would do the same for the Dalai Lama who I have more theological differences with, he's also a consistent life ethicist.

@Afrikitty I agree -- Democrats and Republicans like to keep politicians in nice, neat little boxes, so they can take turns operating the military/war/banking machine. Ron Paul is a financial conservative and social liberal who doesn't fit the box--so they demean him, ignore him. WAKE UP AMERICA! It's time to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! THE LIVE AND LET LIVE PRESIDENT who can STOP THE WARS and use that money to support the needy!

Ron? Paul 2012 can win! For LESS government, not MORE!

[Afrikitty]

@vechorik Oh, they had *such* nice things to say about Obama, and Bush, and Bush, and Clinton and Reagan and all the others. Yes, they did too.

I am only supplying information and letting the world know how I feel about THIS particular situation. That's all.
