He has been a good Pope, tried his best to rid the scum out the church, unlike others in past and distant past.
Not a job I'd want, particularly in current world. |

They're about to spend a humongous amount of money on his final party, the amount is
so large, it could feed and or educate 100,000's if not millions of starving for a year. But nah, they'll get out all their gold jewellery and hocus pocus golden wands, put on their £100,000 dresses, close down Rome for a week or two. Channel almost all the police & security forces resources for a week or two on ensuring there's no one coming to the party who's not on the guest list. £100's of millions will be spent on jet's, accommodation, security etc, transporting the top table invitees from the 4 corners to the party. They should be ashamed of themselves, but no, the indoctrination is so strong that the believers who've bought the timeshares, come all the way to this thread trying to cast shame on the disbelievers. |

^ That's the worst of it and i'm not arguing against that.
A lot of people would have faith as such,indoctrinated as such yes but also free will,many are good people who practice the so called Christian values and fair play to them. The man is very sick and it probably isn't the time for too much criticism. |

Have just reread Conclave (Robert Harris ) and the film just won awards (I wont be watching that ) . Its a really good yarn and am sure factually correct , but also sure sure anything occuring soon wont have the same contrived ending .(New pope a female brought up as a male , not discovered until final vote , gets eleced ).

Francis is the leader of our faith, I think he has done good job, regarding spending on his ultimate death celebrations, that money will already be in bank, and Rome will actually profit from visitors.
It won't be myself visiting, I am not a fanatic but I still go to church every day when I can. Catholic or non Catholic were I am, there isn't much difference lads. |

As this is a betting forum it will be interesting to see betting on his replacement.
The Catholic Church is definitely anti woke in most areas, but they are also against corporate greed. Corporate greed people hate woke and workers rights, the 2 are interlinked. Good market paddy power. I would not like to price it up. ![]() |

I'm not passing judgement or arguing as said i agree with a lot of what you are saying. I do think think Pope is a 'good man' so to speak and would be unsure if he had a lot to do with the call it commercial side of things.
I think your views would have a historical basis mostly,simply for the fact the Catholic church is struggling with attendance, the grip of the clergy on society is long gone,30/40 years in Europe anyway,Latin America probably has waned,possibly Africa may be an exception. Dealing with Ireland specifically the church had way too much clout probably up to the 90's. I have met more good Priests and Christian Brothers many times over bad ones. I would certainly think (Irish) society is worse off than the 80's/90's though drugs,technology,even a better economy would be more at fault than a loss of spirituality.Matter of fact it is losing its soul(sic). It wasn't all bad. |

We also have Jesus being portrayed by a gay Black woman with a Bald head in Jesus Christ Superstar imagine they done that about Allah ,there would be mass Murder Seems Christianity is an easy target for our woke friends |

From the whitewashed wikipedia version of history, now casting her as a myth (lol at the irony)
There are many accounts of her being murdered in the streets by a mob in the minutes after she gave birth during a procession.

His point is clearly that one religion, and one only, is beyond parody and poking fun.
No one dare do it and, like you, most would rather not discuss the obvious discrepancy. |

Few days ago he wrote a note to his well wishers, thanking them and asking them to pray for him
He's the guy with a direct line to his deity, why is he asking others to contact the almighty on his behalf? Sounds like he doesn't believe his own company's book himself. |
