He doesn’t really have any power

a book of orders

from the pope

@Lord of the Nazgûl are you memeing rn

omg

The Pope obviously gives you declarations on faith and morals

lmao

that's obvious

@Pelth Bible wasn’t written by the pope

i’m losing brain cells

it's entirely curated by the pope

It was curated by a council

the Pope confirmed the council

lol

@Pelth wdym by vatican sending orders though

He didn’t do the work

the vatican interprets the bible

and those interpretations are orders to follow essentially

@run 110 minutes lose 110 pounds declarations on faith and morals are not in conflict with the state

Unless you live in China

Or North Korea

If the state makes you do immoral things you should refuse it

But following the state is something that the Church supports

and commands

Yes

render unto caesar that which is unto Caesar etc

As long as the state doesn’t go contrary to God’s laws

as long as those orders do not conflict with the church

but they often will

most of the time they don't

~~unless it's in modern times~~

Unless you live in an evil state

Like China

the germans had a lot of issues with catholics

Then they do

in ww2

Ofc the Nazis did

true nationalism is somewhat incompatible with religion

They hated all religions

Nazis were satanists

no they weren't
