“without any intention of idolatry,”
...except for the paganistic ritual performed by the clergy in full kit. Pretty much the definition of idolatry. And obviously intentional.
“I ask forgiveness of the people who were offended...”
...what about having offending the people who saw fit to purge the church of the pagan idols you should not have brought anywhere near the church, il Papa? They only place they screwed up was in not putting them in a weighted bag, somewhere in the maze known as the Cloaca Maxima.
I’m beyond sick of this guy - he’s been trouble from Day 1. More of a Pied Piper than an actual Pope as shepherd of the flock.
You spelled "Commie Mole" wrong...
