ChokolateBoss: Well done! Indeed ur stupidity knows no bounds. What has all this ur sophistry and straw-man argument got to do with d thread or d person u quoted? At d end of d day, u're only arguing with urself, so d burden of whatever u're trying 2 prove lies on u. I'm sure catholics would agree with pretty much of what u said but ur clogged biased oversaby mindset makes u want 2 talk n argue nonsense.

Nice topic OP. Threads like dis are good to dispel d urban myth that religion is diametrically opposed to reasoning and science when in actual sense, they go hand in hand. No offense but I think u should edit d first post, its kind of disorganized.

cassyrooy: Not a clue! Just noting the point made.

ElziLaz: St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the ecology, was a Roman Catholic saint who took the gospel literally by following all Jesus said and did. Francis of Assisi was a poor little man who astounded and inspired the Church by taking the gospel literally—not in a narrow fundamentalist sense, but by actually following all that Jesus said and did, joyfully, without limit and without a mite of self-importance. Serious illness brought the young Francis to see the emptiness of his frolicking life as leader of Assisi's youth. Prayer—lengthy and difficult—led him to a self-emptying like that of Christ, climaxed by embracing a leper he met on the road. It symbolized his complete obedience to what he had heard in prayer: "Francis! Everything you have loved and desired in the flesh it is your duty to despise and hate, if you wish to know my will. And when you have begun this, all that now seems sweet and lovely to you will become intolerable and bitter, but all that you used to avoid will turn itself to great sweetness and exceeding joy."From the cross in the neglected field-chapel of San Damiano, Christ told him, "Francis, go out and build up my house, for it is nearly falling down." Francis became the totally poor and humble workman.

Nobleval: Nigeria have myriad of
challenges and have tasted
her fair share of it in pro
efficient leaders and
citizens as well.After watching the 52 minute video made by
shekau laying claim to a
territorial GWOZA caliphate
{which almost drained my
data}... I have become
restless and angered because the military
responded shortly after
claiming that the claims by
the boko haram members
are utterly utopian when it
is obvious that they have really succeeded in sacking a
community that falls under
the Nigerian state,when comrades like us
continue to oppose the re
election of Mr.President next year it sends the
wrong signal to my
brothers from the
southern part of Nigeria.
The porosity in Nigeria is
undisputable, that some elements in Nigeria have
threatened to make Nigeria
un governable is one thing,
to fulfil that threat is
another thing. And for the
government to allow those element continue to
slaughter innocent
Nigerians is the height of
disservice on the part of Mr President to Nigeria citizens.
l strongly believe that the Nigerian government have
the manpower and
equipment to decimate
boko haram in Nigeria once
and for all.. but what I do
not understand is why they have decided not to
be on top of it making it a
priority to secure every
part of Nigeria.
when the north introduced
a very new nomenclature into our polity called Sharia
despite the toll of deaths
caused by the said Sharia
law all Obasanjo did was to
distance himself from them
the originators of the law which was sized by
vagabonds and used it to
kill innocent Nigerians at
that time. Today the
country is ravaged with
terror staring on our faces daily and the only thing
this current administration
can boast of is that they
have succeeded in pushing
the insurgents to the
fringes of the north eastern part of NIGERIA.
if north east is no longer
part of Nigeria then it is
better the Government
comes out to tell Nigerians
residing there that they are on their own.
each time Nigeria is
challenged.... as they were last
week by boko haram
members. I went back to
history to review the past leadership before this
current administration... if
they have had similar
challenge and the most
disgusting thing is they
have continued to make same old mistakes
continuously.
On the part of sycophancy
on Nigerians who even at
the advice given by the
ministry of health to avoid large gatherings because of
the threat posed by the
ebola virus have continued
to form nonsensical non
governmental
organisations, holding unity rally for the return
of mr president for the
second time. I advice you all
to put more effort in
forming pressure groups
that will make public office holders work round the
clock to deliver on the
promises they made to
Nigerians. if all this political
jobbers looking for
contract will put in the effort they have so far
given to campaign for MR
PRESIDENT in demanding
for good governance I
guess mr president will be
in GWOZA by now as GCFR instead of Germany cooling
off from pressure
associated with being
president
all we ask for is good
governance are we asking too much?

Fourwinds: what is ur problem.? go and google d names if what op says is true or not. I wonder y pple will just sit and say whatever dey like. d internet is at ur door step

cassyrooy: Rev. Father NICHOLAS COPERNICUS the Father of Astronomy. SMH

infolekan: How did all these inventions so to say change the world?
There's nothing house changing in all you listed not to now talk of the world.
Produced a failed killer bee....something about a calendar and some other things.
Nothing about LASER.... PENICILLIN.....even a LIGHT BULB and someone classifies all these accidental discovery as Catholic Priest that CHANGED the world. Most of the names are relatively strange to me and that makes them neophytes to me as I like to think I'm well versed in many areas.

cassyrooy: Your head dey there!

Sheenor: Aw abt mie.......

Olamilekan08: Hmmm.. From the stories of Copernicus and Galileo that i've come across anywhere, he didnt publish his work for the fear of being persecuted by the church, because then, the church believe in the earth being the centre of the universe. And we all know what happen to those who oppose the church then.
This is the first time i am seeing this.

frank043: Thumbs up bro...I'm proud to be a CATHOLIC!!!!!

obayaya: QAPHAYNE I think pope Johnpaul II deserves a mention.

His role in ending the cold war and communism in Europe.

His giant strides in improving the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, the Eastern Orthodox Church , and the Anglican Communion

I believe he left the world better than he met it

SELENAqueensy: St. Joesph of Cupertino

frank043: Gabriele Falloppio (1523–1562) – Canon and one of the most important anatomists and physicians of the sixteenth century. The Fallopian tubes, which extend from the uterus to the ovaries, are named for him.

DeepSight: It is refreshing to read the OP because it is frankly nauseating to see the way atheistic fanatics these days make it appear than every one who believe in God or has a religion is an ediot.

The fact is that the vast majority of all learning in history has been propounded by religious people.

Admark: It dsn't suprise me dat dis people make it, bcazz d promised of God said dat if thou wil diligently hearking 2 d voice of d lord & do em then i wil set u on high abov all nations Deuteronomy28v1-28 , so dis were set on high due 2 obedient 2 Gad. Remain bless.
