International Pope Francis has died

[DoctorTaco]

It applies to literally everyone on earth, which is why being a christian is a constant struggle.

That, and all the sexual frustration from not being able to have sex until you’re married and never ever releasing the doves yourself

 

[terrapin]

The fuck are you on about? have you ever read the gospel?

Christianism by definition is globalist.

Many of these people have never had Christianity preached to them in their whole lives. Even if they went to Sunday school or church regularly.

Christian nationalists and fascists have a stronghold on much of American Christianity.

Read all the things Jesus and Paul and the other NT writers say about the Pharisees and then compare them to the Catholic Church. It's virtually a one to one match. Pay attention.

This is an indefensible statement and I've never heard it defended well in a debate between scholars.

Not one single time.

In fact, the entire notion of Sola Scripture is completely indefensible and all of your understanding of the Bible rests on that one heretical belief that is indefensible.

Jesus "and" salvation is the catholic heresy. All the levels they put between you and God. All the false penances, purgatories, indulgences, saint intercessions. It's all Jesus 'and'.

 

[Osculater]

John Paul II leniency towards phile priests tarnished the image of the Catholic Church beyond repair.

 

[Mr Holmes]

His stance on equal homage to polytheistic deities was pretty heretical tbh

Are you referring to that weird pagan statue he brought into the Vatican?

Is that it why doves cry?

You have to defend Sola Scriptura.

Because that's the premise your entire argument is based on. You think you can only get understanding about the scripture from the scripture... that's called sola cripture. I know you've never heard of that, but it's the entire foundation of your entire theological framework. And it is directly heretical.

It doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible and never was spoken about ever in the entire history of the church until Luther.

If you can't defend Sola Scriptura you can't defend anything you think about the Bible because you don't know what it means.

The Amoris Laetitia issue alongside the “all paths lead to god” issue. The “document of human fraternity”…

All these are outside of traditional Catholicism.

Outside of tradition doesn’t necessarily equate to heresy though.

Now I am not a Catholic, so is the “Amoris Laetitia issue” the controversy about whether divorcees could take communion? Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that a rather recent tradition (like 19th century) anyhow?

The “all paths” remark reminds me of the early church father Bishop Clement of Alexandria. He said “truth is a river with tributaries on all sides,” and he was venerated as a saint from his death in the early 3rd century until like, the 17th century.

It’s interesting what traditions take hold to such a degree they sort of become a dogma.

Hopefully the next Pope will be Catholic.

Don't hold your breath.

“For god so loved America that he sent his only begotten son”

red blooded American Patriot. Thank you Jesus

 

[Flower2dPeople]

RIP Francis. As Pope’s go he was actually very “Christ Like” in his acceptance of the poor and disenfranchised. I hope they don’t replace him with some reactionary that’s going to undo the last 50 years of progress the Church has desperately needed.

The Catholic Church needs a Pope Urban II figure.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

It's a joke but thought it who it could be compared to.

 

[Anewt]

One of the better popes... so rip.


but still apt

 

[idrankyourbeer]

jd vance was the last person to sit on the pope's couch.

 

[idrankyourbeer]

Note to self... Never ask JD Vance to pray for me or anyone I care about.

its been a rough go for jd vance lately. first he breaks the football trophy and then he kills the pope.

[USA!USA!]

Not religious so I have nothing profound to discuss about his deeds and beliefs, but I will say that overall he seemed like a decent guy, and will obviously be missed.

Lets hope the next pope will be a good influence on humanity as well.
