Not really. Someone saying “I did a bunch of drugs and paid money for women to have sex with me” is them admitting to a crime, but trying to take that and press charges is tough.you don't find it odd?
Side NOTE* I'm just having a conversation with someone who I know is a good egg
seems odd that they are letting this guy off the hook for some serious crimes
The state deserves a zealous prosecution of the case. What's she supposed to say? Uh, not sure but like let's give it a go?
He was not right . Name the names of every single person declared a saint AND who declared them so and then show how that specific person covered up
philia. It's absurd.
He hasn’t admitted to anything serious. There’s a ton of circumstantial evidence to say he stuck his dick in a 17 year old, gave her drugs and alcohol, paid her for sex, but it seems too muddy to say it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt

You can't and won't.
Did Jesus say that John the Baptist was greater than any other human being born of men? Yes he did. That's him categorizing holiness. That's a precedent. Same with peter even without the connotations of Pope
But it doesn't matter. It's Jesus teachings themselves and the accounting given them by the early church fathers that we base sainthood on.
You keep docking this question. Have you read any of the extra biblical literature that discusses all of this from the early church?
I've asked you this three times and you keep ducking it. Why don't you answer the question and if you haven't explain to me why you think that doesn't count.
Not only was there a reverence for certain disciples, but there was awe almost to the point of fear of certain disciples because of their power. Have you read any of this? Are you just completely uneducated?

This is where you just don't know what you're talking about. Jesus didn't have to say it. He himself did it-- and that's why others do too. It's an obvious development from having communities of people rising up to high levels of spirituality....Did Jesus say John should be venerated? Did he instruct anyone to pray to John or in John's name? NO.
Let's make it simple. Pope Francis cannonized Mother Teresa (deserving, but....)
Mother Teresa Is Made a Saint by Pope Francis (Published 2016)
The canonization on Sunday morning honors a lifetime working with “the poorest of the poor,” first in the slums of Kolkata, India, and then in other parts of the world.www.nytimes.com
DUBLIN, Ireland — The Vatican’s former ambassador to the United States has written an explosive letter claiming that Pope Francis knew about sex abuse allegations against disgraced ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick for years, but chose to cover up the charges and elevate his position within the church before accepting his resignation last month.
If you mean letters written a hundred or more years after the disciples, I've read a few.
Again if you want yo have a theological discussion then make the thread and I'll come to it, but quit derailing this one.
phile protector. Keep on slandering and lying. But the original argument that I refuted was that since some phile protector Bishop made a saint, the saint was not a saint but here you admit that original argument was wrong anyway.
Only two uses of “weaponized” in this post. Very savvy of you. Three times will summon the weaponize fairy.
Absolutely, let's meet here and work from there
“You can’t understand the infallible, holy and inspired word of an all knowing, all powerful, all loving god unless you read the stuff written about the people who followed his followers”.
