Dave Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Recently I was told that Pope John Paul II had allowed construction of a Mormon temple in Rome (not sure how long ago it was). The person telling me this condemns giving such permission. I, however, don't think a pope would have power over such things anyway. Thoughts?
Nihil Obstat Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 In Rome, or in Vatican City? Afaik the Pope has zero power outside Vatican City.
Dave Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks. I did some research myself, and the Mormon temple in Rome, which is slated for completion in 2013, doesn't seem to be anywhere near Vatican City.
Nihil Obstat Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Who was the weirdy telling you that John Paul II approved it? Some kinda Vatican NWO Priory of Sion conspiracy type?

Pity... Tell your friend to stop swimming with the sharks and get back on the barque of St Peter.

It does no good to just pooh-pooh such statements; one should be able to actually address and refute the claim being made!
thessalonian Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Mormon missionaries. Fun. Lived in utah for 8 years. Love talking to em. Just don't know how I could ever finish building a moutain with a steamshovel like they told me I could one time.

Laudate_Dominum Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I met quite a few Mormons in Rome. Apparently it isn't legal for them to proselytize like they do here. Not sure how it is now though. I remember having a lot of small talk with Mormon missionaries and not much else.

Ed Normile Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I did hear a rumor that Pope Benedict XVI is going by the construction site at night and hiding their tools and scribbling over their building plans! Or did I ? ed
