(65,616 posts)I don't know this guys backstory, but the fact that he calls out Wall Street also might be a reason for some of the gnashing of teeth.
I don't go as far as condemn all religions, though I don't see many helping people. Some here hate ritualism and consider it barbaric. Fine. I can understand that contempt. I was like that once.
It is not this Pope that must change, the Church must change completely. Agreeing with science that Global Warming is a serious danger to the human race is a step forward. It is actually to the left of the fundamentalist view in America. How crazy is that shit?
The Church needs to go liberal and declare the ICB has no jurisdiction over marriage and dedicates itself to letting women and men marry and be priests or priestesses. The entire thing boils down to women being a no no and others declaring Catholics worshiped a women first, pretending it never happened.
It's like they cannot finish the puzzle and punish women still and don't treat them as equals as they know they should. Otherwise fall aside with other soon to be relics imo. People are going secular anyway, progress just is like that imo.
On a personal note, I've GREATLY ENJOYED watching the Pope and Trump destroy (intentionally and unintentionally) the GOP. A friend of mine told me Orange Boner is quiting because he sees the clowns taking over and wants out.
Only smart thing the fella ever done...
