Radio Host Fired For Questioning If Pope Will Get To Heaven Posted by Pile (9088 views) [E-Mail link] [Radio] An evangelical Christian talk show host who questioned the beliefs of the Catholic church and entertained a caller's question about whether the late Pope John Paul II would go to heaven has been fired. This goofy story fits into half the categories on the system. I'm truly at a loss. Marty Minto, 39, a senior pastor at a New Castle church, was fired Friday after three years as a host on WORD-FM in Pittsburgh. He said he was told that he was alienating listeners. "As far as I'm concerned, I was doing what I've always done on the radio -- look at events around the world from a biblical perspective. I've always been willing to talk about controversial subjects," said Minto, who has had shows in Albany, N.Y., Denver and Phoenix.

Like God wouldn't let the leader of his church into Heaven. Thats such a rediculous question. i'm sorry marty... Posted by chris on 2005-04-20 02:13:23 but we just don't allow free thinkers in our church... it's not that your wrong - that really isn't the point - you need to be sure of yourself man! a good minister always knows - whether he does or not. You need to deliver answers with a tone of evangelical righteousness. People aren't looking for truth - they are looking for guidance. And you, marty, are not the leader we need right now. Perhaps you would feel more comfortable at MIT? or california? 1 Article displayed.
