      So I am an atheist, but the last 2 popes have been pretty nice people, right? The Vatican doesn’t seem obviously corrupt. Nothing at all like the insane blatantly abusive megachurches in the US.

        Have you seen how gaudy the Vatican is? Jesus was killed right after flipping his shit because there were money changers operating in the temple.

        He’d be livid to find out how the church used his sacrifice for humanity to get wealthy.

          But I kinda like pretty and big churches. E.g. Sagrada Família is amazing - that was built for all of us to enjoy, not just the church narrowly.

          They feel different to me than a megachurch pastor buying his second personal jet.

          I have toured the vatican, expecting opulence. I was somewhat disappointed that it wasn’t wealthy feeling. They have purposely made the vatican appear humble, despite their wealth on paper.

      The vatican needs to brun for other reasons, but is in hot water in this case because they oppose zionist mandated supremacist genocide of innocents.

      Jesus would support the pope’s actions in this one case.
