Actually its 'time immemorial'. "I don't believe in God so the spirtual lives of several billion people have no bearing on my life and they are big poopy-headed dummies. " - my next tattoo. |

Max, the proper phrase is "time and memorial."

Gosh, I wish we could ll get the input of an impartial observer who's both a devout Catholic and a real man's man. If they had their own website, it would be a great place to write and discuss this apparent conflict of religion and sports to boot. I mean, since time and memoriam we have played out sports for the watching public and athelets hve sported for us by proxy. I bet if I go out and ask a hundred people straight down the line in loot of a tough guy Catholic spokesperson who says what needs to be said it would be as close to the gold standard of truth as I could have been gotten to. |

Like I said, you'd think those ingrates would show a bit more appreciation to the being that they believe created them and all the rest of existence. If they identify as Roman Catholic, their faith dictates that they follow Catholic doctrine, which includes listening to the pope; if they can't do that, they should stop calling themselves Catholic. I know other sects of Christianity are more liberal as far as living spiritually goes - just enjoying life may be considered a way of appreciating God's works. However, even with the doctrine of human fallibility, I doubt anyone who is a half-assed Christian is doing his religion justice. This is a cosmic, infinite, amazing thing they believe in, and they would rather watch football? Give me a fucking break. There's a difference between being a hardcore zealot and showing some goddamn reverence instead of observing only as often as it's convenient and doesn't conflict with sports. Again, aside from some very liberal sects of the religion, I really doubt your convenience is more important than God. Oh, and the pope is a big, poopy-headed dummy.

| The_Rorschach | Even so. I'm with Mew on this. Zealots are never very much fun. | |

Why? I mean, assuming someone is religious, why should they hold themselves to your standards of acceptability in regards to their faith. I would think they'd only have to answer to their God of choice. |

I agree with Perndog. If you're going to do the Religion thing, you'd better go all the way. |

Hahaha. The Pope is old, he knows nothing. I don't believe in God so the spirtual lives of several billion people have no bearing on my life and they are big poopy-headed dummies. I think that sums up the majority of responses here. |

| Big Papa Goat | Ya, that religion is irrelevant, and that people are finding more efficient irrelevant activities to waste their time with. That being said, I can't wait for the hockey playoffs to start. | |

Yet Another Sermon Ignored by the Masses

Yeah, Cool, I was quite serious. I don't think religion is something that should be done half-assed, especially when there's a god involved. And Blanco, I'm an entertainer and I work much more on Saturdays and Sundays than during the week *because* everyone else has those days off. I feel quite confident tossing wise-ass remarks wherever I like on this topic. I think lip service Christianity is exactly the issue. The pope is offended by Christians who treat the holy day as nothing more than an excuse to watch or play sports. |

| Anonymous | I expect the pope's message to have a vast effect on the American people. Don't be surprised if the price for ad time during the Superbowl drop to $1.25 an ad. | |

He didn't say no sports on Sunday. He said that he didn't like how people were giving precedence to the sports over worship on Sundays. And did any of you know that the reason we have Saturdays and sundays off (well, traditionally, anyway) is because Christian and Jewish leaders joined the AFL and CIO in order to get them? No, because then you wouldn't be so quick with the smarmy, wise ass remarks. And Pern, lip service Christianity is a whole other discussion all together. |

| Perndog | I agree with the pope wholeheartedly. I'm sick of Christians who think all they need to do is go to church for an hour a week at most. Ingrateful bastards should show a little more devotion to the creator of all existence. Especially those smug athletes (I'm sure some of them are Catholic) who will be praying in the locker room right before they go out and blatantly defy the Pope and the Bible. Fuckers. | |

| Brandon | He's a fine Catholic celebrity, that Pope. Give him his lifetime achievement award and show him the door. | |
