Posted by MutantMandias The primary thing I've heard of course, is that he says that they shouldn't focus on the gay and abortion stuff. At least, that's how its come through to me. Is that right, or is it tainted by the media sources? |
Posted by MutantMandias But, I will never get over the fact that Catholicism, as a collection of beliefs, is among the most crazy of all religions. |
Posted by MutantMandias It would also be nice if he... no fuck that, it is the absolute minimum required thing for him to do to show that he is not a complete piece of shit... spoke up and cleaned house about institutional kid fucking. But, honestly, if he tried to go that far, he probably would not live too much longer. |
Posted by splumer He seems pretty cool to me, compared to his predecessors. But yeah, addressing the whole child rape coverup won't win him any friends within the organization. I've never been Catholic, but I know a few heavy-duty ones, and the impression I get is that they worship the church, more than they worship God. Franny doesn't seem like he's planning on changing that. |
Posted by Samurai The Catholic church needs to evolve into the 21st century or it's going to disappear. |
Posted by Samurai it's too early to make judgements like that... I say give Frank a chance and see what he does. The Catholic church needs to evolve into the 21st century or it's going to disappear. Do you think Muslims in Europe and North America think the same thing? Evolve or else? |
Posted by KublaKhan Do you suppose we could petition the Vatican Mafia to arrange a hit on this daft cunt? |
Posted by Samurai personally, i think Pope Frank is just another in a long line of salesman, but the catch with him is that he seems genuinely sincere and wants to do the right thing, rather than the scripted thing. I mean, you guys know that I am a mean, hateful atheist that rates god about as high as i rate poop on a shoe. But, the thing with El Frank is that he might be able to change the Catholic cult from exclusionary dogma to a faith that embraces everyone, includes everyone and accentuates all the best the cult has to offer. This would be better than what's gone on for the past several hundred plus years. |
