Amelia Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Pope condemns 'pagan' love of money, power Benedict leads more than 250,000 Catholics in outdoor Mass in Paris Sept. 13, 2008 AP PARIS - Pope Benedict XVI condemned unbridled “pagan” passion for power, possessions and money as a modern-day plague Saturday as he led more than a quarter of a million Catholics in an outdoor Mass in Paris. Quote: “Has not our modern world created its own idols?” Benedict said in his homily, and wondered aloud whether people have “imitated, perhaps inadvertently, the pagans of antiquity?” Quote: “Have not money, the thirst for possessions, for power and even knowledge, diverted man from his true destiny?” the pope asked. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26677884/ Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>

Liz Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I was going to be really clever and come up with the word that means trivia collector. Do you know what it said???? You would be a .......spermologist. No, seriously. It means a collector of seeds of knowledge. Now everyone who is reading this, get your minds out of the gutter, I swear I am not making this up. But should anyone come up with a better name, please let me know. I really don't want to spout this one off the next time the subject should come up. I swear no puns intended.
