I cant decide if that’s a scene from Flesh Gordon or the Frampton version of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The people need to take back their church from the satanic cabal that has infiltrated it and taken it over. The problem won’t be fixed by this Pope. He’s part of the problem.

The Catholic Church haters in Australia have hated Cardinal Pell for years. He’s a conservative they hate. I have never believed these trumped up charges on him and still don’t believe them. I think Cupich and others are queer as a wooden nickle. By the way all liberal bishops hated Pell because he’s been exposing them for years. He’s been railroaded.

“Pell is in Australia. As a bail condition, Pell surrendered his Vatican passport and is not permitted to leave Australia.”

Unless the uber secret Vatican pedo extraction team gets him out.

How did he get to be third most powerful?

The existence of a papal state long preceded Mussolini. You sound like an ignoramus saying it is an artifact of Mussolini’s government.

Not just the CC.

I am a former minister, and I have no church home now: In urban America, the mainline institutional churches have virtually capitulated to this depravity.

“Welcoming and Inclusive”: Read that on a website and you know a church has embraced evil.

Maybe all priests should be automatically added to sex offender lists?

Sure! Go for it and make yourself pope and ordain all the "priests" you want.

“Apparently, in addition to being a pederast he is stupid too.”

I thought it was the right thing for him to do - to return when he knew he would be tried.

But wants to change the Lords Prayer on..........temptation?
Sick people in the cloth in the Catholic Church.
