Here is that link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed_of_Nicaea

Before calling somebody a lousy historian, you should try reading some history yourself. Nicaea wasn’t a conclave. It was a council. A conclave is convened to select a pope. A council is convened to handle a problem. Nicaea was convened by Pope Silvester and Constantine to address the Arian controversy. Arias was teaching that Jesus was a creature. This created a controversy that was causing problems in the eastern empire. Constantine wanted the Church to settle the controversy. He made the opening address to the council and then took no further part. The council determined that Jesus was ‘.. of one substance with the Father’. For more information on the council, here is a link: http://www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/nicene-cr

Balony, its a myth, a story, made up. No history to it. No pope named "Joan".

Another ignorant comment.
Continuing other post: My complaint concerns those who are derideing those service men who are not in the combat arms. I served in the Army Security Agency [ASA] - we were involved in signal intelligence. The soldier Lyndon Johnson called the first combat death in VietNam was Spc. 4 James Davis [ASA]. He was a radio direction finder operator - he located enemy units by their radio transmissions. SGT Roy Benavidez, an ASA soldier assigned to a Green Beret unit, won a Medal of honor while involved in the extraction of an A team from a hot landing zone. He lept from a helecoptor to rescue a wounded soldier who was carrying classified documents. He also retreived the documents and dispatched a few VC.
TA comment and a complaint. I was in the Army from 1966 -70. At that time, the Army Commendation Medal was awarded for exceptionally good job preformance. At my field station in northern Japen, our cooks received an Arcom and they deserved it. An inspection graded the mess hall as the 2nd best in the army. It was truly exceptional. I agree, however, that this award should rank behind the bronze star with V.

An Evangelical Pope?

Faith in the teachings of Christ. As Christ told His disciples "He who hears you hears Me and he who rejects you rejects Me and the One who sent Me." Luke 10:16 for "Faith comes from what is heard." Jesus did not tell the Apostles to write the Bible. They wrote the Bible to explain their teachings.

Actually, they do. "Unless you are born again of water and the spirit you will not have life in you." Its baptism. This has been taught by the Church since the time of the Apostles. http://www.catholic.com/tracts/born-again-in-baptism

You're darn right. It's not about women corporals, it's about women generals.
