I have always wondered if the Pope is god's representative on Earth, does god ever get to interview the prospective Pope candidates?

What is they elect Pope that god doesn't like. Does god get a refund, a redo?

And what credentials are required to be god's representative on Earth? One would think that god would prefer a more forthright person who actually does something. Instead god gets some old dude that walks around in billowy clothes that sparkle and shine who seems to make only nonsensical incantations about religious ritual.

Does god really need all that?

And why does god need a representative on Earth? Can't he or she just simply show up every now and then and tell us mere mortals what he or she would like us to do? Seems like god isn'tvery efficient.

And why does god always need money? Is god that bad at math that he can never invest what he does get?

I am totally 100% sure that the Vatican NEEDS NO money.

But these Bible worshippers think the Pope is God.

He is an ordinary man. Selected by ORDINARY men. NO women (this should tell you something about the Catholic Church).

It is interesting to note that the historical Catholic Church always had women involved within the clergy as church leaders along with the fact that priests could marry (ie: The Medicis).

The misogynistic approach of today's Catholic Church was originally initiated by Pope Gregory I, based on a documentary I watched. I believe he was Pope around the 16th century or so.

In any event Pope Gregory was an earlier real incarnation of Edward Bernays, the horrific US propagandist of the 1950s who had no match, including Josef Goebbels.

I believe it was Bernays who in the late 1920s/1930s convinced Americans that bacon was safe to eat for breakfast (Americans at the time did not eat bacon) for the American Bacon Companies, and was successful in getting women to begin smoking for the cigarette companies.

Pope Gregory did the same for the church and we now have the warped dogmas today that are seen as gospel...

I hope you are sure about that and are not talking through your hat. History belongs to the victors. Be careful about what you read.

What’s wrong with with bacon for breakfast, and lunch, and dinner?

OF course they did. Katherine Medici .

Katherine Medici knew how to rule her 'dissipated husband' who was nothing but a rich disgusting little boy.

The Catholic Church saw her power and then the propaganda machine started.

The disgust I have with the Catholic Church knows no bounds.

They are disgusting.

I find all religion dogma for the "stupid"...

I mean the things that Humans are supposed to believe in to be faithful to one religion or another is absurd...

Sounds like Richi Sunak and Sir Queer Stormtruper, and PM Cameron, married to a Rothschild I believe, and if not he then someone else. It is almost normal.

Habemus Papam! Congratulations to all Catholics and may God bless you and him.

I was told for most of my male life, that somehow, Wymyn [sic] were going to 'save the world'. Obviously, the opposite has proven to be true.

As for 'ordinariness' - that is actually a very high calling and difficult to attain given all the temptations to be exceptional and a unique 'individual' a concept on which the paint has not yet dried. I hope the Pope is ordinary, as I hope, are you.

Without realizing it, and in spite of your secular scoffery, you have broached an issue which is of great theological importance concerning the split between Catholicism and Orthodoxy - in secular terms between legitimacy and illegitimacy.

God needs all the representatives on Earth that are up to the task.

Leo XIV is Augustinian!

When he was not running a Diocese in Peru, he was Provincial of the Augustinians.

Time to spend more time with St Augustine, he wrote quite a lot.

Abrahamism, in all of its forms, was a weed introduced into the fertile Western fields long ago.

Sure, it's universalism and the simplicity of it's maxims have utility--and thus have grown exponentially--but compared to prior Western thought (e.g., Aristotle), Abrahamism is a weed nonetheless that has choked the West.

So overall, it doesn't matter who the rabbi, pope, priest (or existentialist philosopher) is, because the end of it all is collapse.

This essay is a perfect example of 'a man should know his limitations' - too many typical 'man on the street' opinions based on common misconceptions and false premises.

Here's just one: "Once upon there was Jewish man. He was not a Christian. His name was Jesus.⁷"

WRONG!

Jesus is not a Jew - never was - a Jew is NOT a Hebrew or an Israelite - https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/2024/12/jesus-was-not-jew-by-biblicism-institute.html?m=0 - words do not always define things - they often obfuscate - but I understand it won't convince those with concrete for brains........BTW - that included me...before I started reading.....and reading..... and learn from others who had done the hard work of research and discovery - www.crushlimbraw.com - it wasn't until AFTER I put my ego in my back pocket that I discovered a whole world of knowledge - it's a learning thing - most folks know little more than what they knew in eighth grade - but they're adamant about it - kinda explains a whole lot about DaShitShow we're in now!

If you go through your own process of discovery - no spoon feeding - you should come to see that Jesus was not kidding when He called the Pharisees the Synagogue of Satan - children of the father of lies - which is Judaism today! But don't believe me - prove it for yourself!

Good hunting!

Yes. The ground radar stunt which probably got Trudeau elected by stupid Canadians found ZERO actual GRAVES. But it did claim recently claim to have found a shopping mall under an Egyptian pyramid.

Sorry Julian. 49 pages of ‘debunking’ is more than even I can stand. The word ‘debunking’ itself should be beneath one’s dignity in discussion. We are in the shifty, shady zone of Liberal Left Wing apologetics and obfuscation - 49 pages of parsing and finally, buried somewhere (though I assure you I could only skim) the admission, in weasel words and when the patient is already sedated, that Ground Radar is bullshit.

No one I know was saying that graves, and even unmarked graves do not exist - one cannot prove a negative and why would anyone want to prove that one.

But the fact that the event in question, in Kamloops I believe, which is the one I was focusing on, was a staged electoral and political stunt, probably aided and abetted by the notoriously corrupt reservation system and the bureaucracy that has sprung up around it, has not been debunked at all.

I am a little surprised that the ink, sprayed by the state squid, both in the original tale and in the ‘debunking’ which no one but operatives have read or will read, has fooled someone with the cat-sense that you clearly have.

I call pure bunkum on the ‘Human Rights’ people in general and on Manitoba U, who through supine journalism and ‘ombudspeoples’ [sic] (I thank Trudeau for “Peoplekind”), have been the soft power of wokeism in Canada, about to stiffen into something that will serve well as a possibly unmetaphorical, corrective anal probe for ‘wrongthinkers’ like Peterson and me.

When you hear the word “Human Rights” think of Gaza and run. They are just another fractionalized form of “Rights” which have proven too hot to deliver for the Western Collective.

I am, however, certain that the ‘rights’ of the mass disinformation squid will never be abrogated by the state. That marriage, made in Hell, has given birth to countless documents like the alleged debunking above which I have been compelled to debunk.

I am sorry too Julian, especially as I just lost a measured and voluminous reply to the mad screed by U of Manitoba and the acolytes of the Human Rights movement in Canada. I cannot return to such vomit as it will really ruin my day. If I find it I will send.

But I maintain my position, namely, that the Ground Radar Incident (a criminal conspiracy to commit state fraud) at Kamloops, I believe it was, was a Reichstag Fire kind of subterfuge, involving various bands of the notoriously corrupt and archaic colonial "Indian Agencies" in Canada, in order to gain an election victory for a totally corrupt, woke politician.

I actually scanned the 49 pages of squid-ink that the agents of wokeness who authored it put out. It merely confirmed what I believe to be true. I just noticed the woke neologism in the title of the 'document' - "Denialism" which is akin to Conspiracy Theory and AntiSemite, both words designed to bludgeon one gently into silence and compliance.

I am surprised that your cat-sense let you down or, perhaps, the central part of my thesis was unclear.

"Fools rush in..." Here I am.

I will limit myself to the following foolishness, which happens to be true. The Church is more sinned against than sinning. Sinned against by the Canadian pseudo-State, which whips the citizenry into apoplexies of righteous indignation against the Church by using notoriously useless ground radar to find alleged 'unmarked graves' while failing to provide, never mind housing, but even potable water to the Rezes (reservations - its own form of Hell). Turdeau did look so handsome though, from behind, kneeling before an ocean of luridly beribboned, funereal teddy bears beneath a Canadian flag, guiltily lowered to half-mast for half a year to help depress voters into putting Turdeau back into power.

There were no graves... none at all. But some journalists have been threatened for trying to disclose that fact.

Sorry you were not born Orthodox, Julian. Would have possibly helped you and family avoid a lot of problems.

I don't give a 'flying fuck' about the Pope! All this speaking is sending me crazy.

Have any one of you visited the Vatican City in Rome?

Underneath those old cobble stones are rare riches which could 'cure' world hunger for centuries.

I know Historians have been able to go into part of the Vatican to do research..........what is NOT known is that the Catholic Church (by denying marriage of their Priests) is a world of DEPRAVITY.

IF you read the best Historians on artists in Rome (Caravaggio) you will find out that he sold his soul to the Catholic Church.

Caravaggio (one of the most brilliant artists in the world in my opinion) was a drunkard/womaniser etc. He built up debt.

The only way he could get out of debt was to paint what the Vatican wanted. Homosexuality (which I have no problems with in real life). ALL these so-called Catholic priests ordered him to do images of bestiality.

OPEN up the Vatican............let these images be shown to the public.
