It's organized crime and mob taking over America. And they are already in...
and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Isn't god supposed to be unchanging according to their book?
That's actually more of a doctrine that is made up by the organization and less something explicitly stated in the book. There probably are some psalms or other references that use the word (translated as) "unchanging", but in context, the original audience would probably not have interpreted it in the same way. Think God's love and power will never fail, not God will literally never experience anything or change. In the 10 commandments story, Moses has a conversation with god and changes his mind.
Fuckin hell America, you annoyed the fuckin Pope?
That's usually reserved for genocidal maniacs 😂
I mean he's right, but maybe he wants to add his institution to that list as well.
Religion in general is pretty backwards as well.
Didn’t this guy pay a personal visit to the christofascist who refused to grant a gay marriage license September 2015? Guy wore a similar hat anyway.
Has he met the Catholic Church?
Inquisitions? Witch burning? Who does he think did extremism biggest and best?
Sure, now they mostly just coverup for paedophiles and rampant baby murder at orphanages, but they were the OG extremists, let’s not kid ourselves.
The pope: "maintaining rigid and unchanging ideology is bad and room for change and growth must be allowed"
You: "um excuse me but hundreds of years ago the church killed people"
The church sucks ass but this is the absolute worst take regarding this specific post.
Those are the same people who called Jesus weak so I think it's a bit late for the pope to weigh in
Note that he said this in a private conversation, not an official statement.
He will backtrack on this in less than a week, he always does this little dance.
