Well then!
It's no WONDER that they got led astray with no one to TEACH what the scriptures REALLY mean!
I seemed to have stumbled into a marauding gang of Catholic bashers
Like in Belfast, where Protestants hate us so much they wrap our kids in barbed wire.
This is what raw bigoted hatred looks like.
“marauding gang of Catholic bashers”
Personally, I bash Catholicism, not Catholics.
4 in 5 Americans say words are violence.
The truth hurts.

*Quote from Pope Leo X1V.*
” Brothers, sisters…
I speak to you, especially to those who no longer believe, no longer hope, no longer pray, because they think God has left.
To those who are fed up with scandals, with misused power, with the silence of a Church that sometimes seems more like a palace than a home.
I, too, was angry with God.
I, too, saw good people die, children suffer, grandparents cry without medicine.
And yes… there were days when I prayed and only felt an echo.
But then I discovered something:
God doesn’t shout. God whispers.
And sometimes He whispers from the mud, from pain, from a grandmother who feeds you without having anything.
I don’t come to offer you perfect faith.
I come to tell you that faith is a walk with stones, puddles, and unexpected hugs.
I’m not asking you to believe in everything.
I’m asking you not to close the door. Give a chance to the God who waits for you without judgment.
I’m just a priest who saw God in the smile of a woman who lost her son... and yet she cooked for others.
That changed me.
So if you’re broken, if you don’t believe, if you’re tired of the lies...
come anyway. With your anger, your doubt, your dirty backpack.
No one here will ask you for a VIP card.
Because this Church, as long as I breathe, will be a home for the homeless, and a rest for the weary.
God doesn’t need soldiers.
He needs brothers.
And you, yes, you...
are one of them.”
Robert Prevost (Leo XIV)

Your new "Vicar of Christ on Earth" never mentions...
"Christ"? or "Jesus"?
The "bashing" continues...

(Sorry for the gory pictures...)
I am going to try to FIX all these things!
Oh; wait...
