Magdalena Frasure Kafer Tal Germany appalled at cartoon i was appalled at the cartoon wit seven vultures saying let us prey that you printed from the Chicago Tribune by Macnelly. F was also stunned at the fact that three of the vultures had Christia labels on them. I agree there Are false teachers and false prophets out there. Within the books of Matthew and John the Bible said they would be there. I agree people Are out there using the name of Jesus Christ to further their own gains but there Are just As Many satanists and cultists doing the same thing. Why Are there not any vultures labelled satanist loonies or cultist loonies these groups prey on our impressionable children of All Ages telling them that drugs Are of that sacrifices to satan will give them eternal existence and ultimate Power and that anything contrary to the word of god is Fine.

By Peter Steinfels for decades Popes viewed the United states As a steadfast ally against communism. Now As Pope John Paul ii makes his first visit to the United state since the end of the cold War that View has changed. For the Pope the unite states remains an indispensable part of his vision of a new world order but maybe unreliable. But he clearly hates some things about it Liberal policies on abortion and what he regards As a culture that is increasing a self absorbed and self destructive. He admires american political institutions and recognizes the Power of the Ameri can Economy but has deep doubts about whether this country can measure up to what he sees As its potential and its responsibilities. Despite the shared opposition to communism and the close sometimes Covert cooperation Between Rome and Washington in keeping alive the dissident movement in Poland and elsewhere i Eastern Europe John Paul has not hesitated to chastise american foreign policy. Before and during the persian Gulf War he repeatedly suggested that american actions in the Region were precipitous or excessive. But the Pope s Hopes for Ameri can leadership Are countered by his doubts about american culture. He is worried that americans Are los ing the Strong and firm moral character they once had said Michael Novak scholar at the american Enterprise Institute. In 1987, when the Pope arrived in the United states and met president Ronald Reagan in Miami the pontiff immediately thanked god for the american Constitution but then admonished americans who have received so much in Freedom and Prosperity and human enrichment to share those blessings with the rest of the c the new York times , youv&6ottq 7h� hj7uf&.
