Not a fatal flaw (The Church Militant still exists), but it is definitely a flaw. It has been known since the beginning, though. Jesus himself set Peter, the man who denied Jesus three times, as the first Pope. Francis is definitely the worst one we've seen in our lives, and, as far as I can tell, is an open heretic, but just as the people of the United States are clawing our country back, inch by inch, we will take back our Church.
What kind of "religion" murders millions for daring to read God's Word for themselves?
Fun fact: The old Latin Bible, the Vulgate, was originally translated from Greek back when Latin was a common language, so that ordinary Christians could read God's Word for themselves. The translator even got sainted for doing something that people would get burned for centuries later.
In other words, it wasn't always that way. But power corrupts.
"What kind of religion thinks that you can FORCE conversion with the blade of a sword?" Honestly, just about every religion that has gained enough political power to execute people has been guilty of this at one time or another: Hinduism, Buddhism, Mayan religion, etc. Do you count communism as religion (cults of personality)? Forced conversions on pain of death tend to have more to do with using religion as a tool to assert political control over others than a felt need to share "love your neighbor" or any other doctrine.
It's what happens when the dumbasses forego one of Jesus's(Yeshua's) teachings "The Kingdom of God is within." They try to force this whole, go to church, build a community, follow a 'leader', the Pope, but if their Pope goes corrupt, their whole system goes to shit. It's why Jesus was right to begin with - find your peace within. Find your answers within the God within yourself. The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit Within. Whatevs~
Stopping a totalitarian ethnostate from causing social and economic breakdown in the US is white supremacy.
We must welcome those who seek to do us harm or we aren't christians and equity diversity or something.
The fucking crazy part is the Pope is part of 'them'.
Pope is like, "Hey flock, I'm your shepard but like just hang out in the dangerous forest unprotected while I go offer some of you to the wolves"
Worst Pope of my lifetime.
I fatal flaw of Catholicism is that the Pope is supposed to be the most pious man but his position is elected by other men.

There have been some really bad Popes in history
For sure. Many of the prior Popes were terrible people.
I don't think the pope is supposed to be the most pious man. I'm sure there's many pious people who wouldn't have made good popes.

Well, Sikhs fought Muslims. Buddhists in recent times have been attacking Muslims.
and Protestantism, Orthodoxy, Judaism, Buddhism, etc....

I ordered some Holy Spirit online, do Not insert it into my father or my son? Asking from Chyna
Yeah we need a Reformation! Oh, wait a minute.
Just as bad. It seems like a vast majority of the faith has fallen to degeneracy and weakness.
A time for war; a time for peace.
