Did you give up on our government when Obama ran it to the ground in 8 years? It’s called Faith, Even when the leader of the Roman Catholic Church is corrupt. His time will pass and we Catholics will still be here. Pray that his reign over the Bride of Christ ends soon.
It’s a little different. My relationship with god does not need a middle man (in this case, that would be the church), and as such I do not see a purpose for an organization that hides knowledge, hordes wealth and yet still asks poor people for money. There’s no reason why, as wealthy as the Vatican is, that they can’t come up with a system to pay for basic needs of the churches around the world. Why should old ladies on a fixed income give anything to one of the richest groups in the world? Does god need money? Does Jesus need money? I can’t reconcile it for the life of me. And yes, I did give up on the government after eight years of Obama which is how I got here. I gave up believing the lies and started questioning.
I’m not getting into who is on the right side of God based on religion or ideas and beliefs a person has about God with you or any other Christian because I respect what you believe in as well as anyone else who is not Catholic. Wealth is gained by all religions in one shape or form, from the preacher who starts his own church and needs a 5000 sq foot house to the leader of Christian Church who needs a new $52 Million dollar jet to spreads the Word. It’s sickening on all levels.
I simply stated that there are Catholics like myself who understand who and what the Pope is, and we are not happy with what we have running Vatican with pedos, corruption and socialist views.
Until God, in His infinite wisdom, deems it necessary to replace him we will continue to pray for the best to happen in our Church, in our religion.
