Very difficult to understand: who entered his ‘house? How Many?
Is it possible he sho himself?

Hmmm

The Catholic Church in the U.S. has too long been at the forefront championing the “rights” of illegal aliens to be here. Attendance at Mass has seriously declined thus the Church desperately needs new congregations to pass the plate to. Just don’t forget that little fact when you start choosing up sides. We are at war. And war makes strange bedfellows.

I was raised a Roman Catholic in the 50’s, but I don’t recognize these pastoral people anymore, all of whom now advocate for the invasion and deconstruction of my country.

Did they shoot him again just to be sure?

I’m not Catholic but my first wife’s family is, I was never accepted by them because I didn’t convert, but as an observer up close and personal, the church started its present slide when they started taking in anti-Vietnam war activists into the seminary. Then Vatican II and that seems to have cemented all the dystopian features we see today.

The current Pope is, well…

That is true. I was raised Catholic but haven’t been to mass in years for the very reasons you cite.
