praying we get a better pope

@The King Of Moab Francis is against abortions

he just does alot of fucking beating around the bush

@LuxCo I agree with you on all that

I didn't say His Holiness *wasn't* against abortion, what I said was that his statement of very fundamental Catholic teaching shouldn't be a reason to stop criticising him.

The Pope being pro-life really should go without saying.

hes confusing the public because his entourage the real problem is trying to get him to stop telling how he feels for example how he doesnt like abortion (i have no evidence)

@Based Chav but there's a difference between criticism and complaining about every third thing he does. The whole hand slapping incident is the type of thing I'm talking about.

I didn't give a fuck about that one, personally.

Mate, I just bloody joined

@The King Of Moab the whole hand this was a big show of nothing burger

@MawLr really? Congrats than, but church politics will drive you mad if you pay this much attention

Church and politics don’t go together

also offtopic has died should we move there?

@Based Chav and you shouldn't have, but a lot of people freaked out because it was "emblematic of his attitude towards all Chinese Catholics" or some shit

@LuxCo perhaps

If it continues long

I only found it absolutely disgusting to welcome a known advocate of infanticide in the bloody Vatican

Until I know for certain what that woman was saying to him at the time, I couldn't pass comment.

However, it is true, His Holiness' attempts at aiding the Christians in China has been appalling.

Well atleasy Cupich is pro life, imagine if he was still bishop despite being pro abortion

@MawLr yes, however that's something that happens all the time in diplomacy. The Papacy, above any other bishopric, has been a political animal for well over a thousand years, and that's not going to go away.

He also gave communion to pro abort politicians like Biden

Woah, really?

@Based Chav I agree with that

Yep.

yes.

Well bugger me, it’s as if I didn’t know

<:ohyou2:569616856105877505>

Which is in and of itself a Mortal Sin.

Hope Cupich is of a contrite heart!

ebic pope

ebic bobe

Yeah, of course that's a little different than meeting with said politicians.

@Astro darn

"...installation of Pope Francis..."

my theory is most priest dont know that they can reject laymen from recieving

How dare he not know American politics as intimately as Americans do

nice cope

@LuxCo that's quite possible
