#11 "If in 1,800 years we clergy have failed to destroy the Church, do you really think that you'll be able to do it?"—Cardinal Ercole Consalvi to Napoleon Bonaparte, after the general had threatened to crush the Roman Catholic Church

#10 Marxism with a Pontiff Hat. Infallibility proven wrong in spades. Sooner gone, the better

#9 Unless he is speaking ex cathedra, all of this is nothing more than the opinion of a man who happens to be pope at the moment. And if he should act on it, it must be remembered that the Church, as all human institutions, has endured despite the human follies to be found at all levels.

#8 Mathew 7:21

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

#7 The Pope shits in the woods.

And all over the Catechism, and the liturgy, and the canonical and civil law, and ....

#6 While bears still poop in the woods, the answer to "Is the Pope Catholic?" appears to be no.

#4 ...I walked away from the Catholic Church more than thirty years ago, when they gave me a choice between defending my country or following their politically motivated dictates.

I've never looked back.

#3 I'm not Catholic, but I do know the charities I donate to are happy to get the money I no longer drop in the collection plate at the hyperliberal front organization I got tired of attending.

The Vatican. Sanctimonious, money grubbing bastards. I'm sure they profit in part from gold mining in the amazon, cartels running factories, regimes of nothing but evil across the pan-Amazon. Allying with communists and marxist organizations they simply seek to undermine the industry oriented far-right in every country.

The pope advocates independence from fossil fuels here ! Electric vehicles in the pan-Amazon ?

Besides, this is not about sin or the earth, it's drama to maximize synod reach into local politics and shove those manicured hands into every regime pie from Peru to French Guiana.

Pope Francis even went some new depth to consecrate some 'earth mother fertility goddess' idols with his Byzantine pixie dust. The lying leech.

#1 Let's see if I've got this new Catechism, from Francis the Talking Mule, down correctly-- among other things, we are told:

Jesus is not divine.

Climate change skepticism is a mortal sin.

Chicks with dicks, boys pretending to be girls so they can smash all the athletic records etc are not for us to judge.

And a Church hierarchy that conspires, plans and actually aids the movement of criminal fugitives across national boundaries, all over the world, is not a criminal racketeering organization, punishable under RICO and other federal legislation.
