Reply #99: I understand being hurt and offended by an entity/group judging you.

But if there is one thing I have tried to work on, over the last few years, it is tolerance and seeing the other side. The pope (and thus his followers, can believe what they need to to make it through life. I believe what I believe and they can not take that away from me. I have a yahoo group and today I posted a rest in peace post. It was not for me as much as respect for those, in my group, that believe as he does. So even if we do not respect certain teachings, I guess showing a reverence for this man does not have to mean we agree with his teachings, but rather we respect other people who do. In the end it truly will make you a better person.
