Fan of this Pope so far...

[andy7171]

Gonna be awefully hard to villify this one D1B.

He's tacitly pardoning gay priests. Plenty of material there.

Are you equating being gay with pedophilia?

[Ivytalk]

Francis I must be doing something right. If he can attract young Catholics back to the church with a theme of "love thy neighbor" and helping the poor, more power to him.

[JoltinJoe]

We should have a Jesuit pope years ago.

[D1B]

He's doing a good job so far. Like Obama, he inherited a fucking mess.

2000 years and finally a message that resembles something Christ would have done.

[houndawg]

You do know there was a reason the Popemobile was built don't you?

Because the pope likes the smell of his own farts?

Can't blame him if they smell like mine. Mine are like the delicate scent of Jasmine wafting on the breeze.

[GannonFan]

We should have a Jesuit pope years ago.

Agreed - the Jesuit parishes have been saying everything Francis has been saying a good decade or two ago, if not longer.

Your use of tenses is incorrect and difficult to understand.

Jesuit priests and bishops are also some of the more sadistic and prolific abusers and torturers of children.

Jesuits pay record $166.1 million in child abuse case

By Michael Martinez, CNN

The Society of Jesus' Pacific Northwest unit and its insurers have agreed to pay a record $166.1 million to about 470 people who were sexually and psychologically abused as children by Jesuit priests from the 1940s to the 1990s, the victims' attorneys said Friday.

Blaine Tamaki, an attorney in Yakima, Washington, described the payment as "the largest settlement between a religious order and abuse victims in the history of the United States."

The Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus is now in federal bankruptcy court in Portland, Oregon, the attorneys said. Insurers will pay $118 million, and the Jesuits' Pacific Northwest province will pay $48.1 million, Tamaki said.

"The $166.1 million is the largest settlement by a religious order in the history of the world," Tamaki said. "Over 450 Native American children ... were sexually abused repeatedly, from rape to sodomy, for decades throughout the Northwest. Instead of teaching these children how to read and write, Jesuit priests were teaching them distrust and shame.

"Instead of teaching the Native American children the love of God, these Jesuit pedophile priests were molesting these young children," Tamaki told reporters.

Keep supporting them Gannon.

More Jesuit debauchery:

The Jesuits, he said, sent known pedophiles to isolated Alaskan villages—many of them only accessible by boat or plane—to let them abuse children with impunity.

"It was a pedophile's paradise," Roosa said. "We are going to shine some light on a dark and dirty corner of the Jesuit order."

Today, Roosa said, there are 17,000 Catholics in the diocese of Fairbanks—which filed for chapter 11 last year—and were even fewer during the peak of the abuse, from 1960 to 1975.

The rate of child molestation by priests in Alaska, he said, "is several orders of magnitude larger" than anywhere else in the United States. (Roosa compared this lawsuit to one in Los Angeles, with 550 cases of abuse and a Catholic population of 3.5 million.)

[D1B]

Jesuits are a cult within a cult. They're made up of predominantly homosexual pedophiles and they're loaded with cash and power. They also raped and tortured tens of thousands of children.

Gay hater. Homosexual pedophiles should have the same rights as straight ones.

Pope Francis, in the first extensive interview of his six-month-old papacy, said that the Roman Catholic Church had grown “obsessed” with preaching about abortion, gay marriage and contraception, and that he has chosen not to speak of those issues despite recriminations from some critics.

In remarkably blunt language, Francis sought to set a new tone for the church, saying it should be a “home for all” and not a “small chapel” focused on doctrine, orthodoxy and a limited agenda of moral teachings.

I may be not well liked by many, but I don't need one of those things. I just think if he is so special, he shouldn't need to go around in a bullet/bomb proof bubble.

Yeah. Otherwise, the lotto balls fly all over the place. Duh.

He keeps saying the right stuff, I agree. When we moved to a new house, we ended up changing parishes there to go to one offically out of our parish simply because we didn't care for the pastor - constant homilies about abortion turned us off. There are so many issues other than abortion and not even Sunday sermon needs to narrowly focus on a single or just a few. It's fine to talk about and have abortion as an issue, but there are many issues that are worth talking about.

As a human, you should be ashamed to support such an evil and immoral crime syndicate.

Second, the pope is continuing the tradition of late of apologizing for past and ongoing atrocities, fucking up, being idiots, not paying attention, not caring and in general, not following the values supposedly set forth by jesus christ. Why is this happening you ask? It's happening because people are smarter now. People have easy access to information and the church no longer murders or tortures people who don't believe the exact way the church commands. The church is better now, but it has nothing to do with its leadership becoming enlightened and tolerant or its idiot masses demanding the church actually follow christ - its better because atheists, free thinkers, secularists, women, deists, scientists and capitalists exposed the church for what it is - evil and unneccessary.

Lastly, the pope's words will do nothing to protect women and children from being raped by its priests, bishops and cardinals and popes. They will do nothing to bring its thousands upon thousands of criminals, pedophiles and silent/complicit laity to justice.

Pope Francis has called for a global economic system that puts people and not "an idol called money" at its heart, drawing on the hardship of his immigrant family as he sympathised with unemployed workers in a part of Italy that has suffered greatly from the recession.

"This is not just a problem of Sardinia; it is not just a problem of Italy or of some countries in Europe," he said. "It is the consequence of a global choice, an economic system which leads to this tragedy; an economic system which has at its centre an idol called money."

The 76-year-old said that God had wanted men and women to be at the heart of the world. "But now, in this ethics-less system, there is an idol at the centre and the world has become the idolater of this 'money-god'," he added.

Urging people not to give up hope even in the harsh economic climate, Francis also called on them to fight back against the "throwaway culture" he said was a by-product of a global economic system that cared only about profit. It was, he said, a culture that saw the most vulnerable society become marginalised.

"Grandparents are thrown away and young people are thrown away," he said. "And we must say no to this throwaway culture. We must say: 'We want a fair system; a system that allows everyone to move forward.' We must say: 'We do not want this globalised economic system that does so much harm.' At the centre has to be man and woman, as God wants – not money."

His own father, he recalled, had suffered great hardship after moving from northern Italy to Argentina in the 1920s. He went "a young man … full of illusions" of making it in the new world, but soon found there was no work to be had. "I didn't see it; I had not yet been born. But I heard of this hardship at home … I know it well," said Francis.

Again, will not save one kid from being raped by him or his employees. But great message nonetheless.

Catholic conks, what do you think of the pope's economic message? Sounds pretty, ahem, hippy to me.
