Even communists can draw a crowd. Remember Germany?
The Catholic Church holds what....eight billion dollars? Why not use the money to help the poor? Imagine the great sin that would be lifted from their shoulders.

Easy to say when he’s surrounded by a wall.
it’s a sin for the ant to fear the grasshopper and all his family members will eat all of the ants supplies!

..........so tired of that BS
The Church really picked a loser leftist. All in an attempt to bring the Church in line with the media, as a minimum. They really screwed the pooch with this guy.

The Knights of Malta didn’t exactly fear the immigrants, they killed them. Fair and square though.
