Mostly in the Middle East, but short they will all be in New York and Toronto.

I think 4chan already went through a Catholic fascist phase. Goons should blaze a new trail and get really into Sikhism. There are probably already a lot of us with neckbeards and knife collections.

I mean, Catholicism literally refers to itself as The One True Church. If you are shopping for religions is kind of think that the buck stops there.

I don't think any, our strategy is basically make sure our one priest is manning the potato slicer to make the fresh cut fries at all times.

I like how cheap our church is that we don't rent out carnival rides anymore, but a bunch of bouncy castles/obstacle courses.

Yes the Roman Catholic church spends a lot of money to make all the child molesters' lives in the parishes problem-free.

Have you ever stopped to think why they want people to give birth to 40000 children each?

Okay seeing as how this is GBS, if the pope lets out a really rank fart, houseflies dropping out of the air and I say, "goddamn, that's fuckin foul" and the pope says, "huh, I don't smell anything" does this mean his farts literally do not stink?

Okay to oldGBSpost here for a minute, if the Pope can speak ex cathedra and it counts as infallible, I think the Pope should solve the "LOL molesto" issue for eternity. All he has to do is speak ex cathedra and say, you know, there's this stereotype that's been haunting us for the last thousand years or so about chillymos, well, as of this minute I hereby declare as the human voice of the Divine Almighty that child molestation or even covering up for it is a 100% unforgiveable crime against the Church and anybody that ever does it, past present or future, is forever banned from Heaven with no exceptions. Even if a guy did it and then was forgiven and went to Heaven 250 years ago a gang of burly angels with biker tattoos just tossed him off the cloud thirty five minutes ago. Sexually assault a child, excommunicated that second, now, in the future, and retroactively in the past.

Goons who actually know things about the Catholic Church, why wouldn't this work, or why don't they do this? Particularly this new guy they got seems to be a real world-shaker, by eldritch Jesus magic rules he can declare there are no more molesters in the church and the faithful have to believe it or at least pretend they believe it.

drat guys. Why you rezzin my dead gay thread? Couldnt even slap a fukkin 4 on it and yet here it is back from the dead regardless?!?!?! Wtf.

To answer this though, institutional inertia. Think about asking the same question of whatever problem you can think of, wherever you live. "Uh why don't we just abolish the electoral college and go to a direct vote?" for example. Well there are people on various sides of that issue for various reasons, and a historical precident to fight against. That's institutional inertia. It takes effort and resources to fight against.

In the vatican's case, those guys aren't stupid. They've been being enriched by the rest of the catholic world for hundreds of years and it's not like they don't know which side of the toast is buttered. It's in their own best interest that their authority and autonomy continue to be considered a special case.

Well sure this would work a treat were the Roman Catholic church a religious organization instead of a child-molesting organization.

This is why they are so loving laughable right now.
To get canonized, you need to perform two miracles.

quote:

In 2002, the Vatican recognised the “miracle cure” of an Indian woman who had prayed to Mother Teresa about her cancer, though the woman’s husband and doctors said the cancer had been treated with drugs.

It's the same poo poo they tried to pull making the last dead pope a saint. The miracle was a nun who had Parkinsons who was cured when they saw the saint in front of her. But no one was allowed to test her to prove it,.

Now I'm ex-Catholic, and this poo poo just makes places like Ireland and other waning papal influence recede faster.
So keep up the good work Francis!

They claim all these allegations of rampant boy rape in the catholic church but have you met anybody who has actually been raped by a priest? Checkmate atheists.

My best mate at school had a priest travel 30km every weekend to collect him for the weekend and then bring him back to boarding school again on the monday morning. We teased him then, but he only fessed up a few years after leaving school.
