good, time to disband that pedo-clown organisation
Thoughts and prayers.
One the planets largest landlords going bankrupt? I imagine they can cover the spread and still dress like trans-wizards until the lord returns.
Since that fable will never become reality, probably not.
Regardless they can probably sell some shit and cover their debts
They’ve been doing that. I know of quite a bit of land owned by the church that they’ve sold around me.
Perhaps they should sell off some of the tons and tons of gold stuff they have.
Or their huge amounts of foreign land
Like huge… tracts of land?
There’s a whole crypt of nicely dressed absolutely dead people who most certainly don’t need to be wearing rubies and gold and diamonds all over their bones.
Maybe they should put their bones in a museum for profit? Come see Saint (whomever)
We do it all the time with brown peoples bones. Why not pope’s bones?
That needle must have a pretty big eye
No, just microscopic camels.
Have they tried NOT having Sex with Kids?
That part was fine. According to the article, what’s causing the issue is that Pope Francis said they should help the poor and that climate change is real, and all their scattered asshole donation-makers in all corners of the world got butthurt and turned down the money faucet.
You know that American Catholics are like a tiny portion of the worldwide church right?
How dare the Catholic Church would be a force for good!
Whoa whoa let’s not get carried away. That’s a load bearing pillar of the church pal
I wish.
Doubt they’ll even have to sell a diocese.
Paying out legal claims and bribes from all the sexual abuse scandals are not cheap.
Naw, they just move all the assets out of the diocese and declare bankruptcy.
Child rape. They’re broke from paying for unimaginable amounts of child rape.
Indeed. I’m sorry if it felt like I was minimizing the damage caused.
No! Not at you! Just, in general. We should make a point of calling a spade. Euphemism is dangerous.
something about rich man in the kingdom of heaven right?
Bullshit.
It could be. I haven’t heard of the Irish Star. I couldn’t decide whether it was bullshit propaganda designed to sound Pope Francis sound like a problem, bullshit propaganda designed to attract clicks and nothing else, truth presented with the goal of making Pope Francis sound like a problem, or what really happened. I decided to post it and stop worrying about it.
Being owned by Reach plc is definitely not a reassuring sign of credibility. Highlights of other news outlets they own include the Daily Star straight up inventing an interview with Dwayne Johnson in 2019, the Daily Express having such a bizarre obsession with Princess Diana that they still pt her name in the headlines about once a week to this day, and the Daily Mirror seemingly doing its “journalism” primarily by the method of hacking into celebrities’ personal voicemails throughout most of the 00s
And it has nothing to do with the afghan opium money they used to launder, but now no longer exists after taliban kicked the US 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.”
I was expecting this exact quote. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
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 wonder how that can be. The Catholic Church owns real estate in almost every city in Europe, usually several in large cities, often in prime locations. Especially since these properties are only a fraction of the church’s financial assets, the rental income alone should be enough to finance the church for all eternity.
Organizations that own that amount of stuff borrow against it to buy even more stuff and as it all goes up in value they borrow more and buy more stuff. In an endless loop. And people call crypto a scam 🤔
Owning that much in assets typically means you also have a lot of debt. Particularly with generational, wealthy, corrupt organizations.
Point being, they can be on the brink of bankruptcy even when owning half of Europe if they can’t service the debt they wound up.
Well, they can always get back to selling indulgences again or take out (another) mortgage on their state in the middle of Rome when the going gets tough.
They can be broke or rich depending on how they feel that day. They cook the books because they’re their own country. They are truly a gang operation. My guess is they want you talking about them being broke as opposed to them being caught with more priests molesting children today.
AG report details abuse allegations against 52 priests, deacons in Diocese of Lansing
Yeah the church is rich af, just sell some of your gold you fucking parasites.
Irish Star is as reliable as Alex Jones.
The Catholic Church remains one of the world’s wealthiest organizations.
You can have a high net worth and go through bankruptcy.
The number of people who don’t understand the difference between cash flow and assets astounds me.
Don’t just leave those laying around, something will fi-- aww damnit, too late…
It’s cool, he ain’t playing it right anyway. He won’t get famous and change the world the way he’s doing it.
Maybe if you had four arms you’d hold it different too! Leave Tardiboi alone!
C’mon, he’s doing his best.
It’s really hard to do without opposable thumbs!
Oh shiiiiiii
This is amazing, it took me a few seconds to realize that is a very tiny violin.
It’s from an election microscope IIRC
Does it give a close look at peoples choices?
I’m sure if they switched from molesting kids they could make some money jerking off grown men
And those soft ass priest hands must feel amazing. I’ll line up for one of the Father Jackoffski specials right away.
