    There’s not much the Pope can do tbh

    Even though the IDF has been bombing churches, the Pope is powerless

    A church that believes in drinking blood as a part of their sacrament calling civilian deaths a ‘harvest’ is sure an interesting look.
    I mean the IDF is fucked and the situation they’ve caused in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. But, this feels like he’s whining that someone else’s blood god is stealing all the blood.

      Superficially I guess. The difference is Jesus’ blood was given freely by him in direct contrast to the Old Testament bloody sacrifices. Lam of God and all that

    Pope Francis being a good guy again.

    I was born and raised catholic. Almost fully stopped believing when my church was hit by lightning and burned down in front of me as a kid. Francis gives me slight hope that religion can be good; the rest of the clergy brings that hope down again though haha
