When this pope dies, I am not optimistic about his successor.

Guess we’re about to find out

Everyone needs to brush on what's about to happen by watching the wonderful documentary Conclave. 

Pope wakes up yesterday, asks his secretary "what's on the agenda today?" His secretary says "you've got a meeting with JD Vance." The Pope replies "uhg, that is the last thing I want to do"

Even the sustaining power of the blood/semen of innocent little boys distilled into a miracle tincture couldn’t keep him going. SAD. 
 

RIP Frank

At least you tried.

The best we could expect from a Catholic leader if we're being honest

He did more than try.  He made major changes, including:

  • Reversed the Church's position on the death penalty;
  • Held that it is no sin to be gay;
  • Permitted clergy to bless same-sex unions;
  • Made it easier for divorced couples to get an annulment;
  • Enabled women who have had an abortion to get absolution.

And you can say that those things are overdue and not enough, and I'd agree.  But I'd also observe that it's a big organization with a lot of members in Africa and Latin America that don't agree with the changes he did make.  So those things are pretty monumental.

And the biggest thing he did--he appointed more than two-thirds of the College of Cardinals.  That's who's going to appoint his successor.  And it's disproportionately people who have agreed with his outlook.

That's why Vance killed him.

He's an idea: Dissolve the Vatican state and re-absorb it back into Italy, return everything they have pillaged from indigenous populations around the world, disseminate the Church's vast, disgusting wealth to people who actually need around the world it instead of making more gilded thrones and gold-embroidered robes for the next asshole that wants to play demigod, and send everyone even tangentially related to all the cover-ups of child rapes that have occurred over the years to prison for life. Oh, and let women be ordained you fossilized fucks.

Better yet, just dissolve the Catholic Church entirely because it's a disgusting, vile institution that has caused immense amounts of irreparable harm around the world since its inception.

I’d settle for being able to tax the property of churches.  They don’t need to be dissolved, they just need to pay their fair share by statute - ‘cause they sure won’t do it voluntarily. I’m not talking Catholics, I’m talking to everybody - the Joel Osteens and Billy Bob little church of the woods.

Ummm... could we possibly start this with the cult of Xenu Space Invaders aka Scientology hit Utah and work our way down from there? 

I'm in no way defending the Catholic Church as they are absolutely on my to-do list but I was just thinking we should start with the ones based in the US then expand our reach internationally. Get some domestic kills under our belt first, if you will.

That was clear as mud, but I agree with you. I was only talking about churches in the US subject to our tax laws

Did you just describe The Trump Organization, aka the USA?

Of course there are shameless anti-Catholics here. Just another example of why I would never want to meet up with any of you in real life. May god have mercy on your souls.

I can’t imagine any negative views about an organization that would reward and shelter Cardinal Law.  Amirite??!! 

Just like you are one united universal Catholic Church when it’s time to get your percent of the local tithes, but when it’s time to pay the judgments for the sex abuse you just have the parish go bankrupt - because now Rome has nothing to do with those people or their finances.  Seems pretty Jesus-y  to me.

I'd be good with bringing back the Roman Empire.

I mean, we all think about the Roman Empire multiple times a week, if not every day.

Are you telling me that there are more insane Catholics in this world than American tradcaths?

Wanna know a fun fact? Popes also died in 1914 and 1939. So ya know, good omens and all that

I like the number 8, it reminds me of infinity. Two 8s just looks nice. Nice job trying to smear me as some whack a doodle racist. You could not be further from the truth. I could not care less what color a person’s skin is. That is the discourse of morons.

I always said there should be a minimum threshold for money generated by a religious entity that must be used directly to help the poor and disadvantaged in a community in order to qualify for tax exempt status. And lying to dodge it should be 10+ year felonies for the leadership of the religious organization. 

Time to put these fairy tale spewing bastards to account for being something other than a tax free profit generating, disinformation machine

I honestly think Pope Francis was a good human being, I just can't abide the organization he headed.

e: Here's hoping all the Cardinals he appointed means the next pope won't be one that will stoke the fires of worldwide fascism like so many are...
