Two decent popes in a row (by pope standards)… What is the world coming to!

Francis beatified Junipero Serra (among others), so that’s a huge minus in my book. But I guess the bar is in the toilet.

Also, don’t anyone else feel statements like these are hugely hypocritical? The catholic church has benefited from the waging of war against non-christians for most of it’s history to the point previous churchmen has created entire theologies of justified war. Now when they lead a great population of followers they can pretend to be peace loving hippies.

Remember, the last time a people had catholicism forced on them as the consequence of war was when Chile conquered the Mapuche in 1883 and placed them in reservations and worked to convert them.

A closed group of people that have absolutely no connection to the original religion deemed it so.

The special white cap is a receiver. Sometimes, though, he needs to don a much larger hat in order to get better reception.

When the Pope tilts his head while wearing the Mitre (the big one), it acts like a directional yagi antenna. This is also why churches use “sacred geometry”; which is really just a clever method of improving reception of divine wideband.

The (real) gold thread on his hat isn’t just to make it look fancy, it’s sophisticated circuitry! When the Pope tilts his head in prayer, he’s actually calibrating the tilt sensor to minimize packet loss.

Is that a picture from the meeting of Pope and JD Vance?

Not to be that guy, but are there any catholic leaders in the epstein files? It doesn’t matter which side you’re on to create a distraction and most of the followers of the church are on the lack of power side.

Sometimes I wonder if the church missed the Reform: your JC doesn’t justify war, maybe, but the crazies doing massacres on a whim are protestants (if not Zionist Jews) and their flavor of JC not only justifies it, but even requires a sacrifice of empowered Israeli for the Second Coming to happen.

These statements have no weight. Typical priests.
