Well it’s a good thing they have all that priceless art they can sell…
Of course people are blaming him being too accepting of trans people, his view of “let them survive but they’re sinners unwelcome to the eucharist” is unfortunately far too progressive for some.
Fortunately the church of Jesus of Nazareth will prioritize profit over peace and love
Maybe donating and praying to your favorite imaginary sky buddy doesn’t actually solve anything.
Sell some of that gold they’ve bought and or stolen in the last millenia or two.
Have they tried institutionally raping children and covering it up for decades if not centuries?
Oh, they have… Darn.
Even if this is true, 2025 is a jubilee year. There will be so many pilgrims to the Vatican and donations would skyrocket
Could this really be? After nearly two thousands years of Catholic Church they are finally brought to their knees.
Like so many altar boys.
It’s like watching the country collapse, i guess.
Yes actually.
Is the Vatican for sale?
Probably the best news I’ve read so far today.
Good
Are these bastards really thinking we are going to believe their mafia like enterprise is supported by charitable donations?
Thoughts and prayers.
Wait, nope, fresh out.
Good for them, I guess?
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
“Another coin in the coffer rings, another soul into heaven springs.”
But, but The eye of a needle was a market with a small gate and if you only had a reasonable load on your camels then they could pass through so it’s actually ok for rich people to exist /s
That cope from Conservative Christians™️ is always funny. Similar statements show up in the Talmud. A large animal passing through the eye of a needle was a common idiom in Jewish culture at the time to demonstrate impossibility.
It’s a mistranslation of “sturdy rope”, which indeed would not pass through the eye of a needle.
I wish they had just said, “look bro, I don’t even need an idiom. I’m just going to tell you. If you’re rich, you’re going to Hell. You can’t exploit people and hoard resources and be in God’s good graces at the same time. Just being rich means that you’re ok walking by misery and not helping. Bro, you can’t have it like that.”
You’d still have wealthy Christians being like “okay, but what did Jesus mean by this?”
You’re absolutely right haha.
“I flicked a nickel to a hobo today. Streets uh’ gode!”
I was expecting this exact quote. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
