Faith of Our Fathers ping
They’re just pissed because they can’t get a Fillet O’ Fish for a buck on Fridays.
Everybody cool down. I understand the issue. McDonald’s uses more salt in Europe.
Maybe Frankie needs to build a bigger wall!
Gotta go check the bible.
This could be a warning sign of the impending apocalypse
Oh, calm down. Frankie deserves a Royale With Cheese just as much as any proletarian.
“’The space should be used instead to house entities which help the needy, in line with the Pope’s call for a “poor church for the poor”.’”
Did it have to take this brouhaha over a McDonald’s for the Cardinal to come up with this proposal?
I thought they would be against it just due to low quality. They don’t use real meat in the burgers so that can’t be the problem. They could get a good quality place there with only a slight modification of the name. Picture the Vatican City “Popeeyes.”
Better yet open a Porky’s barbecue in Mecca.
What’s the big deal, there’s 2 McDonalds less than 200 yards from St. Peter’s.
I love McDonalds especially when traveling overseas. Can’t tell you how great it is having a place where the staff is friendly, the place is clean, the food won’t give you the runs and the toilets aren’t a filthy swamp.
Everywhere I go I see moms and kids in McDonalds. Because it always a safe clean place.
Why not they occupy space in almost every other civilized country in the world. The angels sing as glow appears around the golden arches?
NIMBY’s
The Catholic Church is being taken over and this is what they worry about?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Good lord...not in Vatican City!
Maybe a bronze Ronald McDonald atop the obelisk in the square?
“In nomine Domine et filli et Spiritu pepite di pol-loooo...”
UN-bleebable that its even considered....
I've only been in St. Peter's square once, and that briefly. (You have to cut corners when you're doing Rome in a day. I could've used another half day at least....). I don't recall food vendors but I was power-touristing and wasn't looking for any. What are the current dining options?
McDonald's is the closest thing we have to a true, universal, restaurant rooted on all continents and serving people of all races, colors, and creeds. If this Pope had his hat on straight, he would embrace it as a truly ecumenical partner in building global harmony.
Casting the Papal eye on a McDonald’s apple pie?
Odd if they are more upset by this than by Bergoglio importing Mohammadans into the Vatican.
McDonald's is "perverse" but queers & Muzzies are fine?
Sound like a bunch of Methodists.
More serious for others, such as Church historian and Roman citizen Professor Roberto de Mattei, is that the cardinals would choose this issue to be most vociferous about. “Roman prelates will roar when they see their own residences threatened,” he told the Register, ”but lose their voices when faced with events that shake the faith and Catholic morals, such as the exhortation Amoris Laetitia and the embrace of Luther on October 31 in Lund.”
Catholic ping!
