Irish Bishop 'embarrassed' kissing the Pope's ring

Well then he should have struck a blow for right and not kissed the ring. What A Statement That Would Have Made!

Jesus washed the feet of HIS Disciples

AS a Roman Catholic and a 3rd Degree Knight of Columbus I Myself Respect Cardinal's and the POPE , But i Kiss no rings and bow down to no Man . or Mans Created objects to me its Pagan & old outdated Mythology, I Only Bow to God not a Man!!

Do whatever you feel right about.

They must kiss the Pope's ring. I find this highly amusing in light of the instructions given to a young chorister and reported in the Italian press yesterday. Yet another sex scandal in the Vatican. A “Papal Gentlemen” and chairman of the Holy See's Public Works Department has been using a chorister from the choir of St. Peter's Basilica to solicit young choristers and seminarians for prostitution. A government wiretap during a corruption investigation reveals the rules of engagement: "You'll get up to 2,000 euros ... Do not touch his balls. You need the money. Put on some music, take out the [inaudible], swallow the Viagra, and adelante!" http://www.gaynewswatch.com/Page.cfm?PageID=22&SID=7864

This begs the question are you Catholics really that stupid? But then bishops have been kissing the pope's ass for 2000 years, this is a step up. Did the pope say "while you are down there, do a buddy a favor? Or does he only say that to alter boys.

hey portia, kiss my.....

"requested to bow down and kiss the Pope’s papal ring." You see, there it is in full view- the boys in dresses are forced to kneel and obey their master- called pope- but just a man like the rest of us with no special divine powers. It is all a scam as there is no god, just all a big fat lie conjured up eons ago to keep the ignorant as slaves forever. How can anyone with even one brain cell kiss a ring in 2010 as a sign of respect??
