When he talks to whole Church about morals and dogma, yes he is. But only on those matters.The Pope is infallible, yes?
Still doesn't mean everyone before the Enlightenment didn't spend their time hating on everyone else for various reasons.race=/=racism
In addition to people who were different from them. It seems almost as soon as Europe became exposed to 'love thy neighbor', swords became the preferred method of hugging.In the Middle Ages they hated on infidels
Interesting. I was under the impression it was ditched with Vatican II because my mom remembers going to church pre Vatican II and having to say Hail Marys to "save the unbaptised, heathen, African babies".Limbo never was Catholic dogma, it was and remains a theological opinion which is in fact still a legitimate theological position in the Church. Now of course it is not at the present time a dominant theological opinion but the fact is it remains a legitimate if unpopular position.
I say improved translations are good.What is your opinion of the new official English translation of the Roman Missal?
YesDoes the bread and wine in communion actually turn into the body and blood of Christ.
I don't think that was really much of a change.In addition to people who were different from them. It seems almost as soon as Europe became exposed to 'love thy neighbor', swords became the preferred method of hugging.

How profficient are you in Latin? (A legitimate question aimed at Jehoshua and company, not a smartass one aimed at Linkman).
Ah I see what your talking about. This question sort of delves into the murky world of the moral theologian and as such it would perhaps be difficult to answer your question without raising more questions.
As to opinions on the topic in regards to natural evil, one opinion is that the limitations of the natural world, via disaster or deficiency cannot truly be called evil apart from the subjective aspirations and desires of fallen humanity, and thus "natural evil" is evil only in a sort of analogous way as a product of human desires and intentions, and of original sin and the sinful nature of mankind. This is also taken into consideration that the mechanics of creation fit into a scheme and that apparent disorder in fact fits into a grand design to so speak, a sort of order within what on the surface appears to be disorder, fitting into the intent of God.
Heres the article of evil on the Catholic Encyclopedia which might help you more than I can.

the link said:Metaphysical evil is the limitation by one another of various component parts of the natural world. Through this mutual limitation natural objects are for the most part prevented from attaining to their full or ideal perfection, whether by the constant pressure of physical condition, or by sudden catastrophes. Thus, animal and vegetable organisms are variously influenced by climate and other natural causes; predatory animals depend for their existence on the destruction of life; nature is subject to storms and convulsions, and its order depends on a system of perpetual decay and renewal due to the interaction of its constituent parts. If animals suffering is excluded, no pain of any kind is caused by the inevitable limitations of nature; and they can only be called evil by analogy, and in a sense quite different from that in which the term is applied to human experience. Clarke, moreover, has aptly remarked (Correspondence with Leibniz, letter ii) that the apparent disorder of nature is really no disorder, since it is part of a definite scheme, and precisely fulfills the intention of the Creator; it may therefore be counted as a relative perfection rather than an imperfection. It is, in fact, only by a transference to irrational objects of the subjective ideals and aspirations of human intelligence, that the "evil of nature" can be called evil in any sense but a merely analogous one. The nature and degree of pain in lower animals is very obscure, and in the necessary absence of data it is difficult to say whether it should rightly be classed with the merely formal evil which belongs to inanimate objects, or with the suffering of human beings. The latter view was generally held in ancient times, and may perhaps he referred to the anthropomorphic tendency of primitive minds which appears in the doctrine of metempsychosis. Thus it has often been supposed that animal suffering, together with many of the imperfections of inanimate nature, was due to the fall of man, with whose welfare, as the chief part of creation, were bound up the fortunes of the rest (see Theoph. Antioch., Ad Autolyc., II; cf. Genesis 3 and 1 Corinthians 9). The opposite view is taken by St. Thomas (I, Q. xcvi, a. 1,2). Descartes supposed that animals were merely machines, without sensation or consciousness; he was closely followed by Malebranche and Cartesians generally. Leibniz grants sensation to animals, but considers that mere sense-perception, unaccompanied by reflexion, cannot cause either pain or pleasure; in any case he holds the pain and pleasure of animals to be parable in degree to those resulting from reflex action in man (see also Maher, Psychology, Supp't. A, London, 1903).
Not marrying in the church people of the same sex is not discriminating. Go get married elsewhere if you so desire.Since you seem to understand Catholic theology better than Dr. Gaillot, Jehoshua, I'd like you to actually answer his question in my signature
