Wait.

You mean the Pope -- the leader of the Roman Catholic church -- believes in the Catholic interpretation of the doctrines of grace and of original sin, and bases his world view on them?

I am shocked, literally SHOCKED, to learn this, anonymous internet person who is playing at not understanding the source of the quote in order to launch nit-picky off-topic jabs about religion.

Did you really contribute to the discussion with this reply? It seems more like valueless and arrogant sarcasm which happened to be more upvoted than any of the sane replies I got. Wonderful stuff. I tried to have a decent discussion but it turned into an angry hatefest. Notice I never attacked anyone, and all my replies were intended only to further the discussion or to address specific points in replies or raise issues I had with what others were saying. But you go, you go on the attack, your community is right there behind you.
