SO Pope made them offer they can’t refuse
I find it curious that no matter what this Pope says or does, it is never good enough for his critics here on FR.
It is very sad.
For the Pope to tell an Italian they are excommunicated is a very big deal from a social point of view, even for a mobster.
For all of you Pope haters (colloquial and otherwise) out there, this was an important statement, and he deserves credit for calling these thugs out.
I need the Pope to tell me this? I’m glad he did, but seriously it kind of goes without saying
So does this now mean that the supposed "popes" of the RCC were wrong and that the capricious "gods"' of the RCC have changed their minds (like eating meat on Friday is a "mortal sin and if you do this and die you go straight to Hell... Then "opps, god changed his mind, it is no longer a sin and now OK to eat meat on Friday) the Italian mobster the Roman Catholic church has let skate over the centuries and allowed to be given "high masses" and to be burried in "consecrated ground" are to be disinterred, pulled out of "Purgatory" and heaven and sent to Hell?
no, don't be ridiculous? Remember all the "good stuff they did and all the money they donated to "the church"!
if "the pope" and "the RC church" were genuine and genuinely concerned about the matter of sin they would immediately excommunicate every RC Demoncrat politician who openly promotes the wholesale murder of the unborn via abortion along with the flagrant sin of openly supporting and institutionalizing Sodomite "marriage". The so-called "church" would also immediately cease it's ongoing, institutional wide policy promotion of breaking the law of the land along with the rule of law by tirelessly giving aid and shelter, "sanctuary" to illegal aliens, and doing everything within its power to promote and support the wholesale, lawless invasion of America by millions upon millions of ILLEGAL ALIENS. And then the "pope" and his religious minions have the unmitigated gall to berate, and chastise American CITIZENS who are opposed to amnesty for these illegal alien lawbreakers and who want them deported as being "unloving, "xenophobic", and "unchristian".
It will be a cold day in Hell before the so-called "popes" recant their position and change their theological minds and take action concerning rectifying any or all of the above... Until then, they will continue to turn a blind eye to the wicked actions and political positions of the RC Pelosies, Kennedy's and Kerrey's of this world. "Big poppie" will continue to grant convenient marriage annulments to the likes of the powerful "Kennedy's, et. al. Because, historically, the RCC and its "popes" have consistently been about maintaining power
