Do you think the Pope is supposed to be the literal Christ?
As a Catholic, I don't understand Pope Francis
Thomas Sanders
Jeremiah Collins
No, I'm just doing a compare and contrast. Look at how he recoils from his own followers.
Robert Ramirez
Yeah … so horrified.
Parker Howard
YES
John Brooks
How many lepers have you embraced today?

And exactly how many influenza pandemics can be traced back to the Papal ring? Or for that matter any outbreak throughout the history of all the rings?
John Wilson
no you retard, he is a vessel with whom the tiggas kiss the ring. It's for the sacraments, you being able to kiss the ring helps with the sins.

this post was good except for this part

I know what kissing the ring does, bud.
Thankfully, none, thanks to the Pope's discernment.
If you think this is supposed to make me lose my faith in Jesus' Church, you try in vain.

We have this thread every week, and every week the same things are reiterated:
1. The Pope is not without sin or personal error.
2. The Pope is not, by virtue of his very person, infallible.
3. There have been—and likely will be—worse popes than Francis.
4. The Faith is not represented by the Pope, it is shepherded by him ;the Faith is represented by you and me.
5. God is the supreme leader of the Church.
6. Acts of charity, e.g., washing the feet of the migrants, are a holy obligation which the Faithful must participate in.
6a. The recipient of charity needn't be without sin or personal error.
7. We have a thread for these kinds of petty complaints
