I wonder if any of the Popes have ever made into Heaven?
Some Popes have been Beatified, that is, there is convincing evidence of miracles that have been brought about by certain Popes interceding for us in prayers to Our Lord. The belief is that when a person, whether they be Pope or any of us common sinners, is admitted to Heaven, their intercessory prayers for us are so powerful that God may Grant a Miracle as a Sign for us in order to strengthen our faith.
Pope John Paul II, now known as St. John Paul the Great, was an outstanding man, although a sinner like all of us. If you are seriously searching for an example to answer to your question, there is no better Pope to become acquainted with.
Gatsby, I will ask St. John Paul to pray for you. Watch for a sign!

Unconditional Surrender or Death, the only choices Hamas deserves!
No surrender, only death. Muslim radicals lie and will never cease their murderous mission, surrender is a lie. Hamas and their ilk are a deadly disease which must be eradicated for the protection of mankind.
In the Old Testament there are examples of God commanding the Hebrews to defensively k**l their enemies with extreme prejudice, for this very reason. Men, women, children, animals, everything must go.

What your missing is immigrants come into the U.S. legally. ILLIGAL aliens cross our border illegally. It's against our laws. They have no right to walk into our country. So that makes them criminals.
That's what I used to think too. But now I believe that their God given rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness supercede wh**ever i*********n l*ws we have.
I know that kind of thinking won't stand up in court, but it's a reason that I'm not too concerned about the flood of undocumented immigrants.
And no, I won't have any in my house (there are acres of empty buildings available in my metro area alone, and besides, I barely tolerate my wife and family in my house) but I do pitch in to feed them.
Again, I think political correctness is mostly a load of crap but in this case I avoid the label "i*****l a***ns " in favor of "undocumented immigrants ".

God specifically says to follow the laws of the land.
Yes, I agree. But cut the red tape and document them right on the spot, as much as possible, and keep 'er movin'..
Too much bureaucracy.
All I am saying is that immigrants are endowed by their Creator with certain Inalienable Rights; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Just like us.
And no government has God's Permission to grant these rights nor to rescind them.

I am really s**k of the immigrant bashing I see here. We are all descendants from immigrants, and should have sympathy for people who are leaving their countries to try to find a decent life in a foreign land.
Amen! π
Drug lords and their minions are one thing.
But honest men and women who want a decent, loving family life but are threatened with starvation, disease and murder are another. And calling the undocumented refugees "illegal " "aliens" places an unfair stigma upon them.
No one has to pay for them. Our economy can grow to accommodate a population increase.
But they should stay away from the squalor of the large cities.
Small towns with industry welcome them. I travel enough to see a lot of "We're Hiring " signs. It depends on young people. They and their children are the new consumers that drive our economy.

Hopefully, this was sarcasm. Do we really need, or want, unvetted i*****l i*******ts in our military?
No sarcasm. Most of these people are common folks escaping s**t hole countries in pursuit of the American Dream. If I was in their place I would do likewise. ππΊπΈ
Most of them are probably looking for work. Our military recruiters need to connect with them! πΊπΈ

Yes, based on the facts I personally observed, which proved to me that religions are a s**m and constantly lie about forcing others to bend to their will. I will stand by my claim, as nothing I have yet seen disproves it.
Here is a fact I personally observe- Jesus Christ is Truly and Substantially Present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist. π
You should go and kneel before a Tabernacle and find out for yourself. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Because what if it's true?
I will pray for you Nick. You remind me of Saul the persecutor, so I ask St. Paul to pray for you too. π
