Trust me, most Catholics DO see this man as evil.
It's the same thing as looking at Biden 'as the US President' and saying 'How do Americans not see this vermin as evil?'
In time, things will be corrected...
100%! People ask me how I can still attend a Catholic church or teach in a Catholic school. My answer is the same for both. I'm there because the one behind the altar on the cross is my savior, not the one standing at the altar.
America is in trouble - but to fix it, good Americans need to stay and remind people of the truth.
Likewise, the Church is in trouble - but to fix it, good Catholics need to stay and remind people of the truth.
Amen!
Can’t imagine teaching right now. I would get kicked out for converting the kids to conservative Christian nationalists. Instead of teaching my subject I would drift off into the constitution and US history and Christianity during the American revolution. Bless you!
Does it matter if JPII did this in 1984? I've read that Sister Lucia said that it met the requirements of Our Lady of Fatima. I kind of assumed that led to the downfall of the Soviet empire a few years later and the return of Christianity to Russia.

Inside every faithful Catholic is an even more faithful Orthodox ;)
Jesus Christ is no longer on the cross. He is risen. Get an empty cross.
Nope. I believe it is important for the kids to see and FEEL that cross and FEEL that crown of thorns. An empty cross is too abstract for the younger kids.
Cute slogan, but following your logic...
'The cross no longer stands. So paint scenes of a flat section of grass.'
We remember the sacrifice, just as you do.
Except that this is not the first, or second, or twentieth, or fiftieth vile, evil, filthy demon to lead the Catholic church over the centuries. Demonic leadership is the rule rather than the exception for the Catholic church. Remind me how many times the membership of the Catholic church has made an effort to do something about the sheer evil that has led their church since its inception?
Your question betrays a lack of understanding about the Catholic Church. The 'membership' has no say in the leadership. That is not how this church was set up (a little less than 2000 years ago).
But before you say 'it is silly that the membership has no say in it's leadership', please realize that it is not always a 'benefit' that the 'membership' can 'vote out' a minister/leader. What happens if that minister/leader is preaching a difficult truth about our responsibilities, and the 'membership' doesn't want to hear it? In that case, the truth is 'voted out'. Unfortunately, that happens far too often in (some) other churches.
We live in a fallen world, and there is no perfect way to organize a church made up of fallen men. The best we can hope for is that God will bestow his grace upon us, as we all remain individually accountable for our thoughts, our actions, and how we treat each other.
God bless.
Actually, you don't need to organize ANY church. Yashua never used the word "church" or told people to set them up. The word for church in ancient Greek is "ekklesia". Yashua used it twice and he used it to mean his followers, people who believed in him, not buildings and organizations. When he wanted to go to church, he went to the synagogue, like all the other Jews.
Jesus did not sit in church either. He taught. He stirred up controversy and showed the people who the leaders really were.
The Bible never uses the word 'trinity' either. (Or several other words that I bet you use regularly.)
And regarding 'setting up a physical house of worship', God goes into extraordinary detail about how important it is to have a meeting place to worship. There are several chapters dedicated to it's purpose and construction. Read the whole Bible.
I understand that on paper the membership of the Catholic church has no say in their leadership. But they could at the least stand up in huge numbers and protest the endless parade of demonic leadership instead of just behaving like sheep and doing what the demons tell them. Has that ever happened once in 2000 years?
As a last resort, they could leave the church en masse. That has never happened either.
This needs to happen, otherwise you are enabling evil.
1960's
Very true.
Can confirm. Family is Catholic and we see this Pope as the evil, corrupt SOB that he is.
Please read through your ENTIRE Bible, and see if you STILL believe Jesus intended for such a thing as the "Catholic Church"! That there was one, single, verse, taken out of context, that the Catholic Church used as justification for it's formation is pretty amazing to consider! Jesus spoke in parables. When he referred to Peter as "rock", and what His church would be based on, it was FAITH, not Peter, that Jesus was referring to. The first communion, where Jesus was with His disciples, and He referred to the bread and wine as "My body, and My blood", was OBVIOUSLY, a symbolic reference to Himself! Why is that so hard to comprehend?
Follow your own advice. 'Read the ENTIRE Bible', including the second half of John, Chapter 6, where Jesus says (several times) to eat his body and blood.
The 'audience' at the time was made up of three parts: 1) the 'crowd', 2) a large group of disciples, and 3) a hand-picked core group of disciples (the apostles). (Read the chapter - it's quite clear)
In that day and age, a disciple was someone who followed the teacher 24/7, learning everything that person spoke about. A disciple gave up their work, their family, and everything about their previous life to follow the teacher for years on end.
When Jesus first started saying that they needed to eat his flesh and drink his blood, they started to murmur, and then members of the crowd walked away. Unfortunate, but completely understandable. They had no long-term commitment to Jesus.
But when they left, Jesus increased the intensity, and starts to use a more aggressive word for 'eat' (trogo). At that point, even the disciples start to grumble, and then walk away. Only the hand-picked apostles remained.
Remember, the disciples that walked away were men that had given up everything to follow Jesus. They had heard him speak countless times. They had looked into his eyes and they knew his speech patterns intimately. Yet they abandoned him for what he had just said.
So, if (as you say) it is so 'OBVIOUSLY' just a 'symbolic' reference, why would disciples walk away from their teacher for the crime of using a 'bad metaphor'? The answer: they didn't. They recognized that Our Lord was speaking literally, and it was too much for them.
Yet somehow you believe that people living today - 2000 years later - are better able to discern that Jesus was 'speaking metaphorically' than those who were literally standing in his presence and had heard him speak in person countless times.
I could go on (about this topic and others you raised), but this is already quite long.
No one who has dedicated their life to someone walks away for a 'bad metaphor'.
So when Jesus told Nicodemus he must be born again, He was saying that Nicodemus should be biologically born again? Almost everything Jesus said was spoken in parables, but why are these two fundamentals of Catholics (Peter is the first pope, and communion involves actual eating of Jesus flesh and blood), to be taken literally? I understand it's hard to realize and accept that a set of beliefs a person has had their whole life are wrong (it's what this site is about, right?), but if you break free, you will find great relief! No more wondering if you are saved. No more wondering if you "did enough to earn your way to Heaven". Etc., etc.
The marquee at the Catholic church down the road says " Support Ukraine"
If your point is that there are (a lot) of Catholic parishes that are just as stupid as (a lot) of other Christian churches, I agree with you.
There are a lot of ill-informed Americans that have Ukranian flags in their front yard. Should I give up on America?
Amen to that
