It is not by your icons but by your deeds that God will know you although I could give a damn about what is left of the Catholics,they have the name..........if that.
As Catholic Spain went nuts and ultimately destroyed everything that reminded them of individual versus Collective sacrifice.
Anyway as I recall at least one Pope WW2 told the US to keep Black Soldiers out of Rome,when it was occupied by American forces,those soldiers are long gone and yet the descendants of those who lived in Rome then are still here.Much as some of the stupider Catholics keep complaining about the Blaques on this forum.
Ultimately the Papacy brings these kinds of things on its own head although otherwise Rome is a very nice city.
If a religion would return to its Universal roots,to God instead of the concept that man makes his own God through imagery through tricks...........then maybe the Vatican won’t be an empty seat forever.

When?
I’ve been here 10 years more than you and this is the first I’ve heard about Blaques.
You just might be an idiot...
Perhaps you will also recall the words, “and upon this rock, I will build my church”?
May you be reminded of that Gospel passage, “that the gates of hell will not prevail against it”.
In the end, Amighty God and His Church WILL prevail.
Sounds to me like you would be one who would love to join these protesters.
Since you brought up how this forum complains about blacks, link me to those posts.
And the WW2 pope who told the US to keep black soldiers out of Rome... and why.
Humbly signed, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
WHO was the WWII Pope who “told the US to keep Black Soldiers out of Rome,when it was occupied by American forces...?”
And, please provide your documented sources of information.
