Francis argues he's "a son of the Church". He's far from it. Most priests are better than he.
Porsche in the Sistine Chapel; Shrine of the Immaculate Conception supporting Gay Pride parades...
Humble Jorge has literally opened Holy Mother Church to the evils of this world.
No, you didn’t. He doesn’t say what you claim.
“$6,320 U.S. dollars per head for dinner and concert is greed.”
Sounds like fair market value when dealing with a multi-million dollar auto manufacture.
“How many Catholic pilgrims to Rome do you think could afford that?”
Several thousand at least. Now, how many Catholics can afford to be pilgrims to Rome? And you still have not answered my question.
“Have you ever eaten desert out of an imitation papal tiara?”
Have you ever made a successful argument?
Six posts since this morning and you still won’t answer my question?
Are you afraid to answer it?
I’ve resisted clicking on this thread, but after seeing “Apple Chapel,” glad I did. LOL
Not really money changers. The Sistine is a tourist attraction, part of the vatican museum. It’s always full of noncatholics taking pictures, pointing at the ceiling, etc. I have no problem with renting it out …essentially, it’s rented out to those who wander through after paying a substantial entrance fee to enter the museum.
And personally, it wasn’t’ my fave part of the vat museum….they have wonderful collections of all kinds of art.
Everyone pays to enter the Vatican Museum. This is part of it.
Renting for events is NO biggie.
What's in your Sistine Chapel?
The pervs are in ascendance. This is what occurs when the "lavender mafia" gains control.
Is Francis a CEO or the Servant of Servants, the Vicar of Christ? Didn't he claim, "I would love a church that is poor"?
“Is Francis a CEO or the Servant of Servants, the Vicar of Christ?”
Do they charge tourists a fee to see the chapel or not? Is that greed? Did Jesus pay the Temple tax even though He was God or not?
“Didn’t he claim, “I would love a church that is poor”?”
The Church is giving the money raised to a charity. How will it become richer by giving money to charity? Do you even think before you post?
“Yes, he did. I quoted him, verbatim.”
And it still didn’t say what you said it did.
Sadly, the bar is low. As long as they don't deliberately promote mortal sin as a viable option and pimp a consecrated church, they are better than he.
What’s the charity? Name it please.
Twelve posts and you still won’t answer my question?
Are you afraid to answer it?
It’s been at least three days. Are you afraid to answer it? Will you keep ignoring it?
Here’s the question: Are you against making tourists pay to see the Sistine Chapel as is done everyday?
