Vatican told the European Jews much the same at the dawn of WWII...how'd that work out...by the middle of the war...the Jews left alive in Warsaw Poland...mostly teenagers and children, were reduced to a tiny group, left to fight and live in the city sewers as freedom fighters. I'm a catholic...this guys is nuts...ask the Tibetans when the Chinese came in...their leader, the Dalai Lama had to flee and live in exile... this Pope is either a naive fool or a monster...problem is...the end results are always the same...death to the people who trust them
I would dearly love to know the true story behind Benedict's "retirement" ; it's hard for me not to link it to his highly based comments on islam, and the behind-closed-doors decision to flood the EU with moslem rapeugees. What's truly behind THAT decision is also something I would dearly love to see revealed.
Yeah, the supposed "health-related" reasons seem to be fake, since he's still alive and in good health. He was forced out because he was too conservative.
The left will try to shame you for disliking the pope, but the left does not understand history and there were a good amount of really bad popes. The Vatican plays politics just like anyone else, humanity was meant to worship the way they see fit, not the way the Vatican commands. The bible is very vague on the papacy, and even more vague about the Vatican.
Common misunderstanding due to a bad translation. Peter means small rock, while the rock Jesus said he would build his church on would be like a huge boulder (talking about Himself)
While Peter had a lot of responsibility and power in the early church, there is nothing in the Bible about a succession of people that inherit that role.
This is a Sola Scriptura argument. You can't trash the Protestants while clinging to the same thing yourself. If the the rock argument was really true to Christ's teaching, the Sees of Constantinople and Antioch and others would still have been in communion with Rome.
Edit: plus St. Peter also founded the See of Antioch. What makes Rome the keeper of the key and not Antioch? Just because Rome was the larger metropolis? That's a politically charged and thus scummy argument.
Not even close, no. When he said "upon this rock I will build my church, he wasn't talking about Peter (which is where the mistake comes in because Peter can be translated as rock or stone), but rather upon the confession Peter had just made: "You are the Son of God". This statement, this confession of truth, is what the church is built upon. That Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Without that cornerstone of belief, nothing else stands.
As an outsider, it seems to me that much of Catholicism is just shit that somebody pulled out of a hat hundreds of years ago and then for some reason everyone believed was the will of God.
The Tupi Indians believed that when you die, two giant worms devour your stomach (thereby eating your soul), then an Amazonian god greets you at the gates to the afterlife by squirting chili juice in your eyes.
I don't know what happens when we die, but I know it's not that.

Globalist tool
Communist. The real pope is still Benedict.
I detest Bergoglio.
Luciferin
biochemist?
Begoglio is the worst. Worst name. Worst pope. Commie pope. Phony pope. Impostor. Ant-christian pope, wants the destruction of the West.
>Beglobohomo
I still miss John Paul 11.
John Paul eleven? Boy did I miss a few
Somebody just stole some of his blood from a church.

Great discussions from this guy on the legitimacy of the current pope and stuff.

I know next to nothing on the subject but the words "Vatican bank" seem like they should also be tossed in there.
Yep, simply bought out by globalist tyrants.
You pollacks are awesome <3
Nah, you are badasses all on your own.
But yes MAGA
And MPGA
I mostly agree but I don't think we can forget about the time Winged Hussars staved off the Jihadists for 300 years.
Jesus Christ would rather have you naked than unarmed.
Conversely: you are not fully dressed unless you're carrying.
Pope John Paul II was the last good pope.

The bible says anything about the papacy? That's news to me.
Jesus gave Peter alone the Keys to the Kingdom.

Matthew 18:18 kinda turns that on its head and implies that other apostles were given equal standing.
I assume you're referring to the man whose real name was Michael King, Jr., not Martin Luther King, Jr.
He didn't call himself by that name until he was almost 30 years old.

For sure. At one point they made their followers pay the church to forgive their sins.
You speak more truth than you might realize.
Familiarize yourself with Russell's Teapot and the John Frum cults.
That's every religion, bub.

They probably pulled the strings that got Benedict usurped and had this commie fuck installed.
I think almost certainly that happened.
Back to the Orthodox Church. Down with dictators; the bishop of Rome is only first among equals.
King Kirill
Yeah he was great, at kissing Korans.
He was awesome and diplomatic without a globalist pussy.
This "pope" is protecting the abusive priests and even reinstating ones that his predecessor removed. He is the latter.
Catholics should look into Orthodoxy, the ORIGINAL Catholicism.
George and all the founding fathers would have died for the constitution. I will too.
Ok I cant help but upvote yr comments but you can shut the fuck up now, we get it
