I was trained under Jesuits for my Ph.D in theology, as a Protestant - no less! I know many of them to be godly Christians. This nonsense of them being “satanic” is complete foolishness, but then again, this hatred against other churches is a staple of some on this forum.

Sadly Catholic bashing is a sport in this forum. The worse post is post 98.

You keep showing on these forums and claim to be Protestant.

Yet based on your prior posts you are Roman Catholic in everything but officially joining the RCC.

Why do you persist in this charade?

Thank you, good non-Catholic Christian friend, for your goodwill and for the justice of your comments.

It's inspiring and refreshing.

One of the many strange things about Pope Francis is that he'll say anything if you give him enough time. He's almost daily "hoist on his own petard" of self-contradiction, and I can't decide whether he's really stupid, or just thinks that we're really stupid.

On example in the past 48 hours: on the one hand, he tells Chilean sex abuse whistleblower Juan Carlos Cruz that it doesn't matter that he's gay, because "God made you that way and God loves you that way," and he should just "be happy for who he is."

(Which is in direct contradiction to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but moving right along...)

Then he issues that 10 page document denouncing the Chilean Bishops for, among other things, sending "priests suspected of active homosexuality" to diocesan seminaries.

So should bishops and seminary rectors tell gay seminarians and priests to be "happy with their homosexuality"? Or should they get them the hell out of the seminary?

I am very, VERY angry; and I think my anger is just.
