Im not even Catholic and find this outrageous. The popes are double teaming their religion into oblivion

Pope Francis has apologised on behalf of Rome for the mistreatment of the figurines, which were recovered by police from the Tiber. But the theological conservative, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, defended the vandalism saying: “The great mistake was to bring the idols into the church, not to put them out.” Wilder critics, not for the first time, have labelled the pontiff the “first post-Christian pope”.

I wonder if, in the long history of the Catholic Church, any pope has ever before blessed an idol, as Pope Francis did in the Vatican gardens a few days ago. That was after the assembled “congregants” had bowed and prayed before that same idol, mind you.

he is the false pope, as predicted. Putin is the king/prince in the north, we've had lots of trumpets, and now a TRUMP, the seal to the pit (core) has been broken and abbadon (nuclear fission) set free.

end times, as passed to ancient humans by a trans temporal god remembering the contents of its nascent internet mind.

Those are Peruvian indigenous tribespeople worshipping Mother Earth. The actual earth that sustains us.

There is nothing to do with paganism there, or satan, and I think it's nice that there are Catholics who can maintain a modicum of respect for other cultures' world views.

As I stated before, Im not a Catholic. But this pope is pile driving his religion out of existence.

  1. Its an idol.
  2. Ten Commandments Rule 1: לא יהיה־לך אלהים אחרים על־פני
  3. Ten Commandments Rule 2: לֹא-תַעֲשֶׂה לְךָ פֶסֶל, וְכָל-תְּמוּנָה

Pope is Satan.

Christ is waiting for each of us to find our way back to him.

It's a symbolic representation of Mother earth. Offering respect to a symbol is done all the time in the church. (Communion, the crucifix, etc) I'm not Catholic either.

The leap to "Pope is Satan" is farfetched, in my opinion.

The dictum to not worship idols is widely misunderstood. The Buddhists put it better when they say not to mistake the finger pointing to the moon for the moon.

maybe. instead, perhaps, we should stick with the 'pope is the antichrist' assessment which seems to be the std opinion on teh internets. here he is, the tongue of the serpent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwUQXUiqYcU

What the hell is wrong with this guy?!?!

Morales said he was a Catholic only in order "to go to weddings." When asked whether he believed in God he replied, "I believe in the land, in my father and my mother, and in cuchi-cuchi (sexual activity)."
