If the church were anything like Christ, and followed even a fraction of his example: the church wouldn't need money, and every thin-red-cent it received would immediately be used to convert the poor, while clothing/feeding them. There wouldn't be an single ounce of gold owned by the Church, because the love of money (power) is evil and something which is only becoming of satanists who rejected Christ. The modern catholic Church might as well be the synagogue of Satan.
It's almost as if organised religion is less about spirituality and more a business where they can escape paying taxes that are used for civil construction on common land, such as social and community programs, schooling, hospitals and law enforcement.
> jews perverting concepts that were created for the sake of the common good
What else is new? The catholic church wasn't always heretical. But this new anal-pope is on a war-path to ensure the destruction of Christians' knowledge of God. Pope Francis can burn in hell, for all I care.
What perverting concepts did you have in mind? Burn in hell? A touch unChristian? OTT? What has He done 4 U?
Anal Pope. Pope on a Poop?
What common land did you have in mind? When We reoccupy The Land We WILL live with the problems which come with IT. Buildings and people.
Commons are areas of crown land where places like parks and hospitals are built on. Thats what taxes are for, building and upkeep of places like these and roads which don't belong to anyone person.
the church has nothing to do with faith, it's all decor, abuse of power, seduction of children and simple souls. When you long for religiosity, it's not in a church, but in yourself, that you'll find salvation.
exactly
When you think about it, all organised religion is just a variant of fake news, as it's an interpretation of a book written 2,000ish years ago.
The jews hold that title.
Modern day catholic church
It was evil from the start
the first pope spent most of his life in jail and tortured for his beliefs, idiot.
He wasn't a pope.
Who he? St Peter? We are still tortured for Our beliefs.
I don't know about that. I know Christ didn't want any churches established in his name, but it was inevitable that a congregation of believers, who wished to worship in unison, would form. It's a shame, and almost feels like all of this was meant to happen. The darkest days are still ahead... but I know that God wins in the end; whether or not my body will be there to witness it. I just hope that I can help bring the will of God to be done on Earth as it is in heaven. That's all I want/expect from myself, and my brothers and sisters.

The Vatican II church has no so much money. So many dioceses have filed for bankruptcy. With all the sexual abuse payouts and parishioners exiting, they don't have all this money everyone claims. The VII church has been shrinking in size for decades.
It's a bull crap accusation to accuse the Catholic Church of not being charitable. I can't think of any organization in the history of the world that has been more charitable than the Roman Catholic Church.
Still one of the largest landowners in the world.
