In reply to: chadi 's message, "It was just two years ago or so that the pope declared that catholics can believe in evolution. I think that the reason was that he couldn't contradict science more; otherwise the church would lose many believers. From all the scriptures,saints etc.. i found only saint Francis to be clearly for the respect of nature and the animals." on 21:29:50 01/06/03 Mon

Believe me, I'm no fan of the Catholic church! I like the meditative aspects, but it ends there. Sacred Poontang 21:55:25 01/06/03 Mon

I didn't comment about that part of your previous message since I don't know much about it. I only commented on the catholic part and I didn't assume that you were in favor of catholicism. (NT) -- chadi, 22:09:23 01/06/03 Mon
