Four ways to react to Pope Francis. [View all] Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 OP

I "agree" with much of what he says. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #1

I do not see how you can not vote for B! Laf.La.Dem. Jan 2015 #2

Pardon me, but why does someone deserve "praise" for embracing some basic human rights? trotsky Jan 2015 #3

How come you didn't vote for "C"? Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #10

I didn't vote because your poll is lame. trotsky Jan 2015 #11

No, because your question assumes that I've already stated that he deserves such praise. Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #12

Oh well why didn't you say so? trotsky Jan 2015 #13

An unsurprisingly evasive answer. rug Jan 2015 #42

I praise him when he is right and say he is wrong ehen he is wrong. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #4

That's not *exactly* how B is worded... AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #16

This seems like a no brainer for any thinking person and cbayer Jan 2015 #5

Ah, I see. trotsky Jan 2015 #6

Tell me how you feel about the leader of the Klu Klux Klan when he says it's a nice day outside, and AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #17

As an excommunicated (former) Catholic Not Me Jan 2015 #7

It seems to me that the main job of the Pope is to preserve the unity Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #8

OVer the years, that has probably been the case Not Me Jan 2015 #14

Does that mean that there are a lot of Catholics Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #15

Recent polls Not Me Jan 2015 #40

I think you correctly reflect the tricky political position cbayer Jan 2015 #9

From what I've read of the man I'd guess he would choose B in this poll. pinto Jan 2015 #20

I did not realize edhopper Jan 2015 #18

What other way(s) would you suggest? cbayer Jan 2015 #19

The spectrum of only four is inane. edhopper Jan 2015 #21

I think B pretty much covers all the grey areas. cbayer Jan 2015 #26

And if i think he says something right edhopper Jan 2015 #28

Thank you, ed. trotsky Jan 2015 #37

I would suggest not doing a poll and just ask people edhopper Jan 2015 #25

It may be agenda driven, but he is asking people. cbayer Jan 2015 #27

Yup, only four. Now you know! Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #22

Which Gif should i use for your poll? edhopper Jan 2015 #24

My poll is more nuanced than you give it credit for... Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #30

No edhopper Jan 2015 #31

That's what I hear from conservative Catholics on the radio, too. Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #39

Bullshit push poll, would option B be reasonable to people when its targeted towards David Duke? n/t Humanist_Activist Jan 2015 #33

"Disclaimer: This is an Internet poll" pinto Jan 2015 #34

If you're comparing the Pope to David Duke, Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #35

I have a question for you, is homophobia and misogyny as bad as racism, yes or no? n/t Humanist_Activist Jan 2015 #36

Certainly, but isn't the comparison still an expression of unreserved hostility? Htom Sirveaux Jan 2015 #38

Actually, you are correct, I'm changing my vote. n/t Humanist_Activist Jan 2015 #41

Nice pop quiz Lordquinton Jan 2015 #43
