This pope Francis is a clown. His logic is that the prostitute has no sin but the person that patronizes her is a sinner and a criminal? This pope is a disgrace to Christianity. I have totally lost faith in him. If the fool has his way, homosexuality, abortion, divorce and all manner of evils will become accepted in the church. That's why the clown of a pope finds it easier to support the antichristian liberal political parties all over the western world instead of the Pro christianity conservative parties. This pope is an Antichrist and I support all those resisting and fighting against this agent of Satan in the church

Stop being a fanatic and next time, read with open mind.

First of all, try to understand the question.
The pope wasn't asked if prostitution is a sin. The lady asked about what the Church's position to high patronage by men. Or otherwise why the Church do not condemn men who patronize prostitutes the same way they condemn prostitutes.

And before you condemned, I am sure you didn't read this sentence - “Prostitution is a serious problem,” that is based on a widespread mentality that “women are to be exploited.” This is why the Pope asked young people to “battle against this.”

If i remember very well, the Ethiopian Eunuch was Baptized in the dessert and it wasn't done by sprinkling.

Good News Translation Acts 8:36 As they traveled down the road, they came to a place where there was some water, and the official said, “Here is some water. What is to keep me from being baptized?”

The Spirit of disobedience seeks excuses.

Jesus was immersed, all the Apostles were immersed but the catholic church says we must sprinkle. they try to change everything.

The Catholic Church didn't say we must sprinkle. We either immerse, sprinkle or pour water on the head.

DoctorAlien:
Acts 16:34 tells us that the baptism was not done inside the house, and so not by sprinkling. Nobody even knew what sprinkling was then and Paul certainly knew that pouring water on someone was not baptism. If it was done by sprinkling, there wouldn't have been any need to go outside the house as Paul would've just taken a cup of water sprinkled on them. We don't know whether the baptism was done in a pool or whatever, but we know it was done outside the house and so it was by immersion.

The method of pouring/sprinkling was introduced much later by the catholic church, and it's not biblical.

Pls where did the bible say they were baptized outside the house? The Bible said the jailer took Paul and Silas to his home and the entire household was baptized that night. Acts 16:23-34

Wen u want to bury a person u dnt sprinkle sand rather d person is covered with sand
Baptism is by immersion signifying d death,burial and resurrection of d lord Jesus Christ
Wen u baptize u put on christ
3rdly baptism is in d name of d Lord Jesus Christ. Not in d tittles of God the father,son and Holyspirit. The title God bears for the purpose of salvation is Jesus.Jesus means Jehovah saves/Savior.Jesus is the name God bears and gave His son;John 5:43,17:11.The name God came with as the Holyspirit is Jesus;John 14:26.The disciples/apostles of Jesus Christ understood that the name the name of the father ,of the son and of the Holyghost is Jesus that is why they did baptize in the name of Lord Jesus Christ instead in the name of 3 offices of God as in father, son and Holyghost;Matt28:19,Acts19:5,8:16,.Jesus is the name of our salvation, and we are commanded to do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ col3:17,Lk24:47
None of d apostles baptize in titles of father, son and Holyghost. In obeying d command DAT Jesus gave in Matthew 28:19 they all baptize in d name of d lord Jesus Christ because DAT is d name of God d father,son and Holyghost Well some pple will say its d same thing but I tell its not.
Colosian3:17 says And whatsoever ye do in word or deed.do all in the name of d Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and d father by him
We cast out demons in Jesus name ,we heal in DAT name,we pray in DAT name,we dedicate in DAT name.

Matthew 28:19
Go ye and make disciples of all nations, baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

DoctorAlien:
First of all, I want to say that baptism is very necessary if one must be identified as Christ's own. It is an indispensable ritual which signifies our death to sin, and our resurrection to newness of life.

There is only one way of baptism, and that is by immersion. The Catholic method of sprinkling or pouring is not baptism.

If you check the Bible, you can never see an instance of pouring or sprinkling water on someone in the name of baptism. Baptism has always been done by immersion, until the Catholic church polluted that most honourable ritual.

And if you study deep into baptism, you'll find out that the only method of baptism that illustrates all that baptism signifies is the method of immersion.

GOD bless you.

First of all, the Catholic Church also baptise by immersion. The Catholic Church baptise in three ways. By immersion, by sprinkling and by pouring.
To your point about baptism only by immersion, take a look at the baptism of the jailer and his household in the night. How could they have possibly baptise by immersion at that time.

And by the time OBJ left in 2007, Nigeria ranking improved to 7th or 8th. So, between 2007 and 2015, we are still "managing to compare ourselves with all those failed states!

Nigeria is currently 39th on the corruption ranking.

smartexx:
some times I wonder how people think! how can we compare Nigeria with thus failed states
I mean, making comparison with these nations won't solve nigeria's problem at hand.....
we seriously need to review our patriotism and start to work towards a better Nigeria or else we would end up like one of these countries above.......
GOD bless NIGERIA!

PassingShot:
I checked and checked the list and all I see are "failed states".

Aren't you PDPeegs/TANoids/Jonathanians ashamed that you compare Nigeria with all the countries here?

Please tell me which of them should in real sense compare to us?

EEdiots are here comparing Nigeria with war-ravaged countries, reclusive, very politically unstable and authoritarian countries of the world.

SHAME ON YOU JONATHANIANS!

Sometimes ago, during the OBJ administration to be precise, Nigeria was ranked 2nd most corrupt in the world.

You just dont get it. Get over yourself and give Nigerians a break. No country can eliminate unemployment, but prudent management of resources is what Nigerians need, because the country will develop at a faster rate. our GDP maintaining a 6% growth when it should be like more than 35%, not funny

35%? Now i understand what Nigerians want. MIRACLE.
Even at 7.5% Nigeria was the 3rd world fastest growing economy in 2014. You are here talking of 35%.
I guess you are a victim of misinformation by the change agents.
I shake my head when I see fellow Nigerians misinforming us about the state of our economy.
