I didn’t think he would really do it.
Cus its funni
Pope didn’t say Thank you.
Same as Liz Truss killing the queen. Sometimes, when you’re old and in poor health, you just experience something that makes you think “fuck it, I don’t need to put up with this shit anymore.”
Lol … this is it
When you’re at the end of your life and hanging on the edge looking for a glimmer of hope … then you get visited by an absolute tool that is only motivated by greed and power and represents a general apathy for any kind of humanity …
you just think to yourself, “yeah, nah, this isn’t worth it any more”
Just want to point out this is what furniture in the Vatican looked like before Pope Francis
And then after Pope Francis
Still needed a way to finance a billion dollar corporation with tens of thousands of prime real estate all over the world managed by a legion of professional clergy all managed by a central office that is it’s own country at the center of one of the most expensive cities in the world … all while spreading the message of piety, peace and being humble.
As much as everyone likes to glorify catholic leaders, they’re still a mafia force that is based on money and wealth and Christian faith last
For sure, but as long as the mafia exists (which looks like it’s going to be for a good long while still) I want it to have the leader who will do the most good possible, even if it’s still a net negative. There are those out there who would use the resources to do a lot of harm.
Weirdest excuse ever.
They are a mafia but at least they’re not raping kids, right?
Always love how Christians can justify anything for their religion … no matter what it does.
I love legend of the Judas sects … believers that honour the memory of the traitor Judas Iscariot … their belief is based on the idea that in order for the good to complete their earthly work, they need to fight and defeat ‘the bad’ … and in order for that to happen, someone has to play the part of ‘the bad’ … so followers of Judas sects believe that ‘the bad’ has to exist in order for ‘the good’ to complete their work. ‘The bad’ sacrifice themselves to eternal damnation in order give ‘the good’ the chance to get into heaven.
All done under the watchful eye of an eternal all powerful being that can control time, matter and substance and has already predetermined everything and everyone in the universe.
If anyone really cares, that’s because Pope Francis was from the Jesuit Order. The first pope to be one. They swear poverty among other things, so the golden chair wouldn’t look appropriate.
Also South American Catholics are a bit more hardcore about the poverty and activism stuff. I don’t think Francis was necessarily full on “liberation theology,” but I can’t imagine probably knowing priests who got “free helicopter rides” for standing up for poor and indigenous people probably does impact how you think.
dude even refused to live in the Pope’s residence and stays at the 3 star hotel (not really a hotel but described that way) that’s for the visiting clergy (kept deliberately simple to dissuade visitors from wanting to stay too long). the guy’s humility is inspiring even if I don’t like his org.
He had his eye on a really nice couch in the lobby.
