Evangelicals are not Christians.
They’re Christofascists.
The cruelest and most self centered of all the Christian sects.
How many billions are being spent on his funeral, could that money not ease some of this inequality?
Ask a female priest.
Oh they are not allowed…
I guess he wasn’t that bad…for a pope.
He was the only good Catholic as far as I’m concerned. A bunch of weirdos and pedophile enablers.
Francis tried to be a decent person, but the organization he supports has an ungodly amount of money and outreach which aren’t being put to good use. Christianity could do so much more to help, they just choose not to.
The dude lived on top of a pile of gold. Maybe we can also criticize the hypocrisy.
All positions of power are aloft piles of blood and gold. We had someone real up there, for a time. At least on paper. What else can we do? Burn it all down from within? 🙊
says the guy living in a palace
Disclaimer: not religious at all…but in all fairness to Pope Francis, he was a Jesuit, rejected living in the grand Papal apartment, and chose to live in a super simple 2 room apartment. The first pope to ever do so.
Every time I learn something new about him, I realize the Catholic Church must feel like they really fucked up by electing him.
Totally agree - he really tried to modernize the church as best he could. Apparently he stacked the cardinals with numerous progressives so hopefully they can keep the momentum up!
Like 80% of cardinals in office have been nominated by him.
Eh, he still fucking hated trans people. They kept their core values.
One step at a time…he was the most progressive pope ever…let’s keep it up!
Yes, that’s his small 2 room suite in the Vatican guesthouse (not the palace). For comparison, this article shows the difference between his quarters, the palace, and the homes of some arch bishops.
ETA: 2 room, not 2 bedroom suite.
Exactly … and even though the Pope himself might have lowered his standards of living as the head of the church … it’s still a multinational organization that is basically a corporation that controls billions of dollars of wealth and real estate, not to mention the legions of church heads and professionals they employ and give millions to. All of it financed by common people everywhere who need that money more than the organization. All of it financed in order to maintain their control of thousands of real estate holdings and properties they control all over the world, not to mention having to finance a city state within one of the most expensive cities in the world in Rome, Italy.
Millions spent every year in order to just exist while they tell everyone that millions should be spent to feed the poor.
Personally, I have a lot of respect for the late pope … but I have no respect for the organization he led.
When you say these things and nothing changes, it’s just another Tuesday rant.
When you’re the pope and you say these things and nothing changes, you’re “the conscience of the world”.
Pope francis is a dirty little communist? No way
I have a sneaking suspicion that that Palestinian carpenter wasn’t just a commie, but also a Jew!
fuck the pedo protecting, misogynist pope, and that Reich. Who TF is that annoying guy anyway?
