You shouldn't make such a claim when here in the US over the last 400 years the church has been so incoherent confused, irrational, and muddled on the race issue. Fact there are still churches in this country that dot allow blacks to become members. There are still segregated cemeteries in this country. And my friend people live longer today only because you can live with disease now. Cancer is still cancer and there is more cancer per 1000 people today than it was in 1800.

We are in the year 2010 for God Sakes. The catholic church now believes that theres a possibility of ETs excisting yet ignores the human-rights of their own employees. A former Jesuit Priest is my friend and thinks the same. Jesuit priests were once allowed to marry but live lifes of poverty. No sexual contact can create psychiatric disorders. Some become molestors. There's molesters in every religion known to man but sexual deprivation can lead to unhealthy temptations. Before you comment you need to understand that yes I'm Catholic but I'm also educated so STFU and be open-minded and be considerate. Ask yourself...would jesus be compationate enough to agree with me? if you said no then you aren't catholic because living compationate life like jesus is what matters not other stories we are told to read. Drinking or simulating drinking wine should be banned aswell since it promotes alcoholism. Priests that smoke should be layed off since they are addicted to a drug or be put in drug recovery facilities. A harmful drug is a drug regardless whether its legal or not.

In that there are two races black and white. This is nonsense, Caucasian does not mean white, it comes from a body found in the Caucus mountians northern Iran. Caucasian is to do with bone structure, as is Negroid, Mongoliod. Caucasians are found from India, Yes North Africa and the Middle East. As to race their are countless, in Europe, Southern, Germanic, Slavic and everything in between. The same goes for Africa, just look at Rawanda. This constant competion between who was white and black in history is nonsence, Septimus Severus was Roman first, your arguments would have been complete non-sense to him. Stop trying to place your petty arguments on great historical figures and try to see them on their own terms don't use them to win sad race arguments if any of you black or white had met Septimus Severus he would have seen you all as non aristocratic scum and possibly even slaves.

The standard of living has improved tremendously for everyone. Sickness is far less of a problem than it was 100 years ago or more, and life expectancies are up. Wars are always going to be around. Remember, the evening news needs conflict to make you watch. You won't ever hear stories about how pollution is on the decline or about how women get paid as much as men or anything like that... improvement is boring! The only religions causing strife around the world are the ones that haven't yet experienced an enlightenment. Christianity went through a rough patch (Crusades, Inquisition), but after the enlightenment, it has been transformed into a force for good. The main religion causing conflict around the world right now is Islam. Islam is still in the dark ages. Radical Christians do things like buy "promise rings" and boycott PG-13 movies and TV shows with homosexuality. Radical Islamists kill homosexuals, train children to become suicide bombers, strap explosive to retards, rape and kill women (who are given no rights), and wish to kill anyone who does not believe in their religion as well as any innocents who happen to get in the way.

I stand to be corrected: the world is becoming increasingly more and more immoral and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it. Its OK to be hopeful that all will be well again, but lets sit and hold that thought because its not going to get any better. One week of evening news and you have had enough. Its all poverty, sickness, wars, and the list is endless. In a comment made earlier one writer comments of how one of the Popes died poor because of his efforts assisting the poor. I will reserve my comments on the current situation. Religion is a seperatist phenomenon. Divisions cause more and more strife. Termites are a good example of how well cooperation works for the good of the group. Its sad to say the answers are there for all to see in a termite mound.

The teacher ask "Who was considered the father of medicine"? Well the kids all shouted Hippocrates. I approached him after the meeting and suggested to him that while Hippocrates can be considered the father of Greek medicine, he actually studied under Imhotept in African. The teacher, who is a white male, did not appreciate the "correction" and stated that he would have to look up that information. Such should be the case for the teacher in the algebra and geometry courses as well. When you all get the chance please GOOGLE for The three astronomy princesses. History suggest that these African women were the creators of Algebra and modern math. Greeks like Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato studied in Africa and took concept (Even the notion of a Nation/State) back to Greece. The Pythagorem Theorem was borrowed and never included footnotes or references to the source.

Whether they were Punick or Tunisian or a "Moor" they were all dark complexioned people. The Arabs were a mixed people with darker features as well, as can be seen today if you look a great deal of people from the Middle East and even India. NO, the were not "Black" in the western since which promotes racism and separation of people, but they were African nonetheless. They were not European, Caucasian, or even white.

With the growing number of the Catholic faithfuls in Nigeria, which probably surpasses many other nations, one naturally expected the Pope to come from Nigeria. Cardinal Arinze still has the chance going by his age, though one does not pray for the early demise of the newly elected Pope. Black Popes of the past are debatable,any black elected today as Pope is not arguable. Above all, may the Lord give our Pope, good health, sound wisdom and long live. May we witness peace and prosperity during his tenure.
