My point exactly, what does a pope that goes against everything you just said have to do with you, yourself, serving and helping others. At best he hinders this point for most catholics

pertaining to the Catholic Church - no

Maybe it’s a terrible take for other churches. A lot of people use the excuse of the abuse for leaving but don’t understand faith or what the church actually teaches

Many people don’t want to hear (or do) what the church teaches - blaming it on the abuse is the easy route. Most people just go to churches where they say what they want to hear.

This is some of the most self absorbed narcissistic and dismissive shite I’ve ever read and the reason why organized religion popularity continues to dwindle. Just totally incapable of looking in the mirror. It’s honestly disgusting

I have no control over how the pope is elected - it does not shake my faith because I am able to receive Jesus every Sunday, or every day if I want because Jesus is what makes the Church holy and He is there, waiting for me. Pope Francis emphasizes service and humility - other things he says can be off the wall - but he doesn’t go against every Catholic teaching.

I hope this evil communist loving pope is living in fear of what's waiting him.

You have total control over your blind following of the organized Church and the Pope and your dismissal of their indisputable shortcomings

You just said it, do you need a guy that supports what this pope has supported to tell you how to live, serve the Christian life? I think you’re smart enough to know the answer

You have to understand, you’re dealing with a hypocrite that will do the appropriate level of mental gymnastics to justify whatever contradiction is necessary

After reading this thread, Who needs Muslims beheading Christians when we do that to each other everyday! They should just sit back and let us destroy ourselves.

the Church teaches me this, the Pope does not.

I think you are mistakingly putting too much emphasis on the Pope.

That’d be Catholics. I put no emphasis on a socialist from Argentina
