If I were Catholic I would quit the church.

For the first time since I rejoined it in my mid 20's, I am seriously thinking about doing so. It is now preaching the Pope's personal political views, not Gospel truth.

That’s exactly what the Pope is using it for, a platform for his petty, leftwing political views that have nothing to do with the Church or even with Christianity in general. But don’t leave! You’re an orthodox Catholic, and you’re needed.

I bet you’re going to see a parting of the ways pretty soon. He’s going to push it too far. He’s stuffed the Vatican with his cronies and gotten rid of many orthodox priests, bishops and even cardinals, so he may end up keeping the property, but the Church will reconstitute itself without that. Don’t forget that we still have another living Pope...

Before you go, try adding a note to the donation basket indicating the Church has gotten its last dime from you.
Surprisingly, this really gets the attention of the local leaders.
