“ Italy’s Catholics flock to the right” by Jacopo Barigazzi on Politico

The Pope is in favor of mass immigration from mostly Muslim countries. Turns out Italian Catholic voters that have to deal with the consequences of this mass immigration, don’t agree. They side with anti immigration politician Francis Salvini . Good on them.

Although I was baptised and confirmed in a Roman Catholic church, I never paid much heed to what the pope has to say on religious doctrine. The pope to me is just an overglorified holy man that reads the bible a lot and forces his own emphasis on other Christian people.

I mean after all, when Christianity was rising, the Roman state made it the national religion and spun their own interpretation of it.

The Apocrypha is a collection of books deemed by the Roman church as unworthy, yet they are of the Christian religion.

@KinkyJacques I’ve talked to Catholics that have a poor opinion of the church and popes before. Mostly Puerto Rican. < edit

Puerto Rican, you mean?

Yes lol

If you ask me, while their are leaders of religion, they are all the same as their followers.

Same beliefs, way of life, and prayers to their god(s).

I disregard the interpretations of state controlled versions of religion
