Well, it doesn’t mean ‘universal’ any more.

The Vatican could drill wells for every village in the 3d world if it liquidated its wealth

Someone tell the pope...

There's an even better quote from the same book on abcnews:

https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/pope-francis-book-explores-george-floyd-virus-skeptics-74358533

Turning to the pandemic, Francis blasted people who protested anti-virus restrictions “as if measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom!”

Because "measures" that the government "imposes" can't possibly interfere with personal freedom. Not as long as they are "imposed" "for the good of the people".

he is not even little “c” catholic.

Little “c” catholic church, as used in some versions of the Apostles’ Creed, means the universal church

Dear Pope,

Do not forsake the gathering together of yourselves.

How much did the RC church suck out of these poor neighborhoods to support lavish lifestyles in the
Vatican?

I’m a Catholic, and I just wish he’d learn how to keep his mouth shut unless he’s talking about faith and morals. I’m not sure he knows anything about that either.

He must have missed this remembrance from yesterday:

In 1831 the emperor passed new laws on regulations for religious groupings in Viet Nam, and Catholicism was then officially prohibited.

How many wells could you dig in Africa for the cost of one piece of art in your vaults below St Peter’s?

Dear Lord, we need a holy leader. Please send your lightening bolt to Rome now! Fill the Chair with a courageous shepherd. The gates of hell are ramping up. Send help now! Amen

I know that this is a brief quote, possibly mistranslated, and that the Holy Father may be somewhat misinformed. But we protest the Wuhan coronavirus lockdowns precisely because
* people no longer can rely on social security because the benefits don’t pay for the secondary expenses
* people lost their jobs because the businesses at which they formerly worked lost income from former customers or because those businesses cannot operate as a matter of decree
* children now lack an opportunity for education because public schools, which long gave only partial and sometimes malicious educations, ceased operations or turned into nonfunctional or inaccessible or barely existent virtual academies
* children get thrown away from their former households and now cannot find shelter in the freezing cold because the lockdowns forbade the youth shelters from operating or the schools from directing hungry, shivering abandoned children to the few available resources (in some jurisdictions, head-count limits on household events require the breakup of large families)
* many whole families have lost their income; the government restrictions suddenly, arbitrarily, and forcible collapsed entire sectors of the economy, leaving tens of millions of formerly hardworking Americans without income or sustenance; because of shutdowns, cramming, lack of technology, lack of knowledge, widespread fraud, and bureaucratic slowness and inefficiency, most of the unemployed never got benefits, even if they qualified.

We don’t protest children going without water. We raise money to provide wells and water systems for their villages.

I think this man is...mistaken in many of his thoughts.

“Is the Pope Catholic?” is no longer a rhetorical question.
This Pope Dope is more like a snake, at least a snake's ass is still close to the ground
