Yeah...l had high hopes for this pope, but he turned out like the rest in my living memory, all talk when it comes to structural sexual abuse in it's own system, now it's attacks on ethnic basis and borderline Russian apologist behavior to boot.

Left the church in my teens, and shit like this always reminds me that it was the right call to make.

I agree. I thought from how he talked he was going to be progressive

All the progressives left the catholic church centuries ago. They got tired of being labeled as demon worshippers so they formed their own churches.

I want nothing to do with cultists of any kind. In the end, they're all the same.

Just curious what it means to leave the church. Does it mean you just no longer attend mass and donate? Or does it mean you reject the entire Christian doctrine?

Lost faith. I still think of myself as spiritual, that there is (hopefully) more than just this fleeting existence. But as far as buying into any hierarchical structure that claims to speak for a supposed god...yeah, not doing that.

What if you strip away the hierarchy of the organized Catholic faith, but look at Christ's teachings on their own? How do you feel about those?

Russia: Ignore our war crimes. The rape, torture, bombings of children and hospitals, the executions, should be understandable,... The real crimes are the hurtful words aimed at our peace-loving, stormtroopers who are simply trying to rape the evil out of the enemy.

Did you read the arcticle? The pope pretty much said "the non-christian russians are worse than other russians". Which doesn't make any sense and is not condemning Russia either, but specific ethnic groups, as if they were the ones responsible for the war.

So you're saying that the pope making a stupid comment is miles worse than Russian troops raping women, killing children, bombing hospitals and shooting civilians in the head,... Good to know.

Pope is just Nazi-pedophile. They rape children, run mafia, friends with Putin, defend him, serve in Hitler youth and hide in Argentina.
