What does “papacy in transition” mean? Seems like speculation.

Looks like the religion that breeds rapist pedophile priests are now involved in bank fraud and money laundering.
Any comments from the Pope A Dope?

I don’t understand how this is embarrassing to Pope Francis. As a non-Catholic I have been surprised at how open he appears to be. It would seem that this sort of investigation would signal his willingness to confront some of the corruption that has plagued the Catholic church for more than 1000 years.

I don’t understand why the Church will not clean all this up. Straighten out the money. Prosecute all the predator clergy. Get on with the Lord’s work. What is holding them up? Fear? Fear is the opposite of faith.

This should not be a surprise. When one lies about abusing children how and why does people believe anything coming from the pope and his minions. People are stupid just as they are in this country about the lies and cover ups this government does..

The cat dies and goes to heaven (even after killing so many mices / rats). While wondering in the heaven, she see a mice moving happily, she jums and kills him.
The human being, whetehr they are in Vatican OR on the Moon, will allways be looking for $$$$$ and ways / opportunities to grab

The whole thing is corrupt. Endless molestation thanks to not normal celibacy, the vatican bank that laundered money for the Mafia etc etc etc
The thousand years of the dark ages thanks to the church combined with catholic kings in a cabal that controlled much of Europe

And when the churche’s power was threatened about late 1400s they thought that torture and burnings would solve the problem – their idea of HOly.

Heres a brief history of Europe and xtianity, almost all re catholocism . If you think they still dont desire total control and to hell with everyone else, your wildly optimistics

All they want is total control and power. The first vatican council created / supported the idea of Infallibility re the pope in 1870. So he became a dictator of Immorality.
