Yucking it up! I wonder what he thinks is so funny.
I’d be more careful about flappin’ my jaw about indulgences, if I were Pope. But the Red Pope is getting at the planet-cooking practice of eating meat and how we should all lay off it from now on (https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/07/12/pope-tells-young-people-eating-meat-is-part-of-a-self-destructive-trend).
See, eating meat is “part of a self-destructive trend” that includes all kinds of “consumerism.” Well, he is the PETA Person of the Year for 2015. They wouldn’t honor him if he wasn’t a kook. Supposedly he eats a very simple diet.
He urges us to get rid of things we don’t need. He doesn’t say which things, but I think we can guess–cars, air conditioning, gas stoves, lights that come on when you flip the switch, etc. Plebs! Are you pumped up for a 13th-century lifestyle?
By the way… the leadership of very many Protestant churches is no better than what our Catholic brethren are getting.
I wonder what would happen if they tried to get people to give up their video games.
This Pope is a disgrace to the Church and a scandal to believers — “scandal,” that is, in the theological sense, i.e., something that puts an obstacle in the way of faith.
There are more false prophets out there than you can shake a stick at. What to do, what to do?
He blows my mind and always has. Phoebe is right, there are protestants that are no better.
What a shame.
When I think of the new ministerette at the church that I grew up in, saying adultery is “no big deal,” I get a very clear idea of why we need the Internet.
The Devil is a liar, and currently his biggest lies are evolution and climate change. Evolution is ludicrous (so what the stars are far away, that doesn’t prove their age), and climate change a hoax – the more CO2 the greener the planet and the greater the yield from farmland. This current Pope is hard to swallow. Why can’t they come up with a good one?
This is just a flat-out evil age.
All true followers of Jesus Christ must be united in their defense of the faith during these evil times!
