Pope Francis is heading towards eternity...

[Aardvark86]

See it for yourself and judge. Some folks believe that any story that presents these leaders as anything other than Christlike in the manner in which they operate is anti-Catholic. These are just men and all of them are flawed in some way. It is not anti-Catholic IMO.

It’s interesting. For every take like this I see one the other way. Usually from more predictable, if not less credible, sources.

I love the cast. Haven’t seen it yet though mainly just because busy.

I used to go to Saint Rita in Alexandria. It's in a sort of run down area.

They have a Latin Mass. All their Masses are good.

Yep pretty conservative parish; I’ve been there for confession.

Tom vander woude (who had been our parochial vicar) was pastor there once. Google his dad - died an absolute hero, well on his way to sainthood.

Really well conceived but very poorly executed. Everybody knows that habemus papum follows white smoke.

Thought you would like this, and a more generous assessment of his popularity than I'm inclined to...

I’m curious. How to the church go about electing/voting the next pope?

You should watch the movie Conclave to answer all your questions....ha

Saw this today, thought that @BrianNole777 and @Aardvark86 might enjoy. I thought it was cute. Obviously, it's not actually true, but it has enough truthiness to it to be fun.

Do you know the difference between Catholics and Baptists??

Catholics say "Hello" to each other at the liquor store.

once saw a standup guy doing a riff on this subject and there was an extended section with the continual punchline: "OH...and protestants...LOVE the way you sing those hymns."

I try not to find my answers from Hollywood but I get what your comment.
I’ve always been curious how it goes on behind closed doors. Are Cardinals politiciting and getting the votes. Is is like a March madness bracket? Would love to be a fly on the fall

Pope kicked off some good change, need to keep it going

What did he change?

 

[seminole97]

Hate to break it to you, but so was Jesus. Bitched about rich people constantly. Gave everyone free food and healthcare. You’d hate the guy if you ever met him.

Weird how historical commies couldn’t magically make bread and people starved when the commies tried to eradicate markets and ration everything to everyone.

What did he change?

He brought a lot of pettiness to the chair of St. Peter, most notably with his treatment of Bishops Strickland and Cordeleone, and the practitioners of the Traditional Latin Mass.

Well it does sorta depend how long you’re on it. Maybe more like the moving pedestrian walkways at ord

If you precede me, I will start a Go Fund Me for an indulgence to spring you out

Watch Eurotrip. It details the process.

now now, sooner. While i actually agree with you 1000% that Francis can be one vindictive SOB, we both know that what he "brought" was a completely legitimate re-emphasis on/reenergization of the pastoral role of the church. Now of course, that has proved to be a bit at the expense of coherent teaching, but the reality is it was necessary.

I find he was a lot like Musk or RFK, Jr. Very crowd pleasing (to leftist crowds), until he wasn’t. Perhaps his “buy Twitter moment” was when the synod pretty much reaffirmed church teaching on marriage and female ordination.
