This also means Trump doesn’t need to worry about a 25% tariff on foreign religions.

        Somewhere there must be at least one, but he will surely never be considered for the position of pope. For that exact reason, obviously.

      In March, SNAP sent a letter to Vatican leadership detailing the conduct of Prevost in two separate incidents of priest sexual abuse, demanding an investigation ahead of the looming Conclave. The letter details accusations of “inaction” during his time both as an Augustinian provincial in the U.S. and as Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru, where Prevost served from 2014 to 2023. The letter alleged that Prevost allowed known sex abusers to remain in ministry, and failed to investigate serious claims brought by victims, including three Peruvian minor girls who said their reports were ignored and mishandled. It also details the case of Fr. James Ray, a priest accused of sexual abuse in Waukegan and Wauconda who Prevost allowed to live at St. John Stone Friary in Hyde Park, a half block from St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School.

          Yeah, with hirachic systems, it’s not the nicest people climbing to the top.

          With the catholic church, I’m happy when it doesn’t go back in time but slowly forward.

          There was no chance that some Jesus type person with a completely white west would get elected, but there was a good chance that a completely soulless bastard would’ve risen to the top.

          My first impression after hearing him, is that the catholic church has a chance to reform now.

          Dolan would have been a disaster, as he’s licking authorats boots and actively fighting to hide child abuse.

            I see… So we just need to silently accept that the Church is and will be actively protecting pedophiles because reasons… Ok! Also you seem easily manipulated if what you have seen makes you say that “the catholic church has a chance to reform now”. Bro, for fuck sake, wake up! This guy is the classic conservative piece of catholic shit against women, homosexuality and so on…

              You read an article on the willcountygazette and formed a very strong opinion begging me to wake up, and got the audacity to call me easily manipulated?

              Maga loathes the guy and calls him woke. If that isnt an indicator…
