Give a man a loaf of bread and he’ll eat for a day. Modify societal and political structures to allow him to plant wheat for himself and his community and he’ll eat for a lifetime
Well, unless he happens to live in one of those societies that collapsed due to extreme natural events that caused crop failure and starvation.

Or one of the societies decimated by venereal diseases in large part because the Catholic church didn’t just ban condoms but also claimed (during the height of the 1980s-1990s epidemic) that condom use causes AIDS.
Or one of the many societies otherwise empoverished as a direct result of the actions of the Catholic and other abusive churches.
Weird take to swipe at the world’s most charitable entity.

Bullshit.
The Catholic Church does a lot more awful things than charitable things and guess what?
None of the charitable things are impossible without the religious and ceremonial aspects, and almost all of the awful things have a causal link to religious dogma including Catholicism-specific rules.

And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side…
Pope Leo: “I’m not naming any names”

You pointed to Trump not, the pope
Such position of power, leader of a major religion; can’t do shit about anything XD
Catholic Church is probably heavily invested in a few wars.
What, like preaching a message of peace to its billion plus followers?
