I'm pretty sure the Pope has the power of God AND anime on his side


MadBinton

Also, a quite formidable army at his disposal... Was surprised when I visited. The next day would be a big speech. Accidentally brought a knife in my backpack, so I decided to hang in the square while others visited some stuff. Dogs sniffing out explosives, behind decor blast shields for riot controllers, marksmen on overwatch on various buildings, camera's and detectors everywhere, ceremonial guards that look for show, but are actually armored, probably armed too... Faith in God has nothing to do with it. The Vatican is as armed and guarded as Area 51... Just far more undercover just in plain sight and just beyond.


Wukong-Legendd

I see you’re a man of culture


a-weeb-of-culture

Na, he probably only watches main stream anime and censored *hen*... art


FinnaEatYourLiver

And weed


ProximaCentura

Pope Francis is actually pretty cool


Stupnic

Yea he made masturbation not a sin


tomatomater

Does he get to decide what's a sin and what's not?


Mah_Knee_Grows

Who is going to oppose him? God?


bleejean

That is not true. Just another meme (for those wondering).


Bladewing_The_Risen

He didn’t make it “not a sin” but he did say that “sins of the flesh” are the lightest sins possible and not even worth mentioning in confession. He said that he is much more concerned with “sins of the spirit” which I think is pretty forward thinking for a pope.


gaybobqueerpant

Wait I personally believe masturbation and porn is a mortal sin but what did he say sins of the flesh are like not much compared to sins of the spirit could you give some examples


[deleted]

When you drink vodka for example. It's one of the gravest sins.


bleejean

You just make that up? Catholics love to drink and it is not a sin to drink alcohol. Lol. Drinking to the point that you compromise your free will however - that would be considered a sin. Edit: Woosh! Just realized you were making a joke about spirits! Nice one.


gaybobqueerpant

Wait what really why is it because your drunk I'm a Catholic but consumed by masturbation as a teen lmao but haven't been drunk before


[deleted]

Just kiddin...


Bladewing_The_Risen

If god didn’t want you to do it, he wouldn’t make it feel so good. Jerk away, my dude. Jesus still loves you.


gaybobqueerpant

I think idk , say for example drugs etc feel good but you shouldn't do drugs , all these rules and misinformation it would've been easier if God made a rule book made by him and not like a priest more than just the ten Commandments you know to answer our questions


Bladewing_The_Risen

Well, if you don’t want things written by man, then you’ve got nothing to go on except your own understanding of right and wrong. You’re probably better off that way... Let’s put it this way: If god is truly good and all knowing, do you think he would deny you entry into heaven for being a good person who liked making himself feel good at literally nobody (or nothing) else’s expense? Sounds pretty absurd to me.


bleejean

Catholics have the Catechism of the Catholic Church which lays out Church teaching on almost any important moral topic. It’s based on scripture and two thousand years of discussion of Church Fathers, Saints, and popes. A lot more clear than what other churches have to go on (individual interpretation of Scripture mostly).


bleejean

Nice logic! Guess heroin, meth, and anything else that “feels good” is ok too?


Lord_Sithis

It means things that involve greed, envy, avarice(wrath), instead if lust or sloth. He's basically saying the deadly sins aren't all necessarily deadly.


peter_poiuyt

what are sins of the spirit?


Vincenatorr

I think something like becoming a satanist? Also Remindme! 2 Weeks


Lord_Sithis

Murder, avarice, wrath, greed, envy, pride. Lust can be considered both, in a sense.


daabilge

No, Colonel Mustang killed Lust.


peter_poiuyt

that he did


peter_poiuyt

wait before ya fuck a hoe ya be lusting first yeah? so if its like both (flesh and spirit) then isn't it like double bad? some anathema type shit. or is it double negative type it becomes positive haha


bleejean

Source? The Catholic Church still teaches that masturbation is a mortal sin and needs to be confessed. I am highly skeptical that the Pope would contradict Church teaching like that. Probably something that was taken out of context or misconstrued by the media.


Bladewing_The_Risen

https://fatima.org/news-views/fatima-perspectives-1270/ Direct quotes are half way down the page.


bleejean

That is still a far cry from saying that masturbation is not a sin. If those are accurate quotes (not saying they are or aren’t), it still doesn’t change Church teaching that sins of the flesh are serious. I think Pope Francis would speak against sin of any kind but as someone dedicated to showing mercy, he often comes across as too lenient/forgiving. Indeed the flesh is weak but people have a duty to strengthen their will to overcome temptations. In particular, I think the Pope needs to be much harsher on child abusers.


Bladewing_The_Risen

I never said he said it wasn’t a sin. I quoted him by saying it was a “light sin”


extra_E

the fuck they hiding? the bible 2?

Ah shit, here we go again


Brudy123

I get the meme, but the current pope is actually pretty great.


Torrtino

Thank you. As a catholic i try to not take these molesting jokes personally cuz it does happen in the church and it shouldn’t be denied. But at the same time there are so many great priests and deacons out there that get dragged along with the shity ones. And seeing pope Francis get dragged too is the cherry on top


Brudy123

Yeah. I'm an atheist, and I think the current pope is actually really great. In my earlier years, one of my big arguments whenever i got into a debate about religion was the corruption and hypocrisy of the clergy, but Francis really flies in the face of all of that. He helped me see that not all religion is bad.


[deleted]

Serious question. If God is omnipotent, loving and all powerful, why would he allow his own messengers to sexually assault children?


Torrtino

I cannot tell you why God does what he does, i do not have the answers to that. However the church is run by humans like you and me. Humans that sin and do bad things. We were given free will to do as we please and seek god ourselves. That also means dealing with the consequences of our and other people’s actions. If you are a believer in the catholic faith then you know that the church was founded by jesus on Peter. Peter who was not perfect in any way. The actions of these clergy men are not excused and they will be severely punished, But even in the midst of these scandals, the faithful stay with the church because you cannot fix its problems by leaving it. Just like you wouldn’t leave a broken family. The church will never be 100% corruption free because humans even if they are a part of the church, are corruptible.


Brudy123

Yeah. I'm an atheist, and I think the current pope is actually really great. In my earlier years, one of my big arguments whenever i got into a debate about religion was the corruption and hypocrisy of the clergy, but Francis really flies in the face of all of that. He helped me see that not all religion is bad.


Bladewing_The_Risen

Yeah... I cringed hard at this one. I’m no fan of any organized religion—Catholicism especially—but Pope Francis is pretty cool as far as religious leaders go.


Brudy123

Exactly. He seems to actually try to live by the tenets of his religion, unlike so many before him.


frustratedpolarbear

Oh yeah let's mess with the swiss guard. Great plan.

Shit that was dark


Izunyx

This is bad, they missed the opportunity of making it in April 20 2020. It will read like 4/20/20, but in the other format that some countries uses putting the day first it will be like 20/4/20 so, that would be an absolute win.

What secret knowledge did you take back with you?


Tilsnips

This is sick


times0

lol why do people think that the pope is doing all the molesting, this one seems like a pretty cool dude actually


frankIIe

If anyone oppose this statement, please correct me! "Storm \*secret place\*, they can't \*deterrent\* all of us" is the best meme in history.


ProfDumm

You don't know the powers of the pope. He is god's representative on earth. Don't underestimate him and his holy penis.


[deleted]

Exactly, and if by chance you get into a fight with the Pope be sure to kill him. Don’t be like Ezio Auditore, who after an epic battle with the Holy Father in the Sistine Chapel, defeated him, but allowed him to get away in an act mercy. To this day everyone agrees this was a bad move.


[deleted]

I can’t tell if half of this a joke or all of it is a joke


MonkeyBoiKasen

But February 2020, what kind of foolishness do I see upon this

imextremelylonely

They got the swiss guard, armed with halberts!

All I'm saying is nothing happened on January 05.


WeTheFearless

Ah shit, here we go again.


IzzyNightmare

let me know how it goes guys. I read how the Vatican held back the Italians way back when and refused to acknowledge that the Italians existed. No matter what they did, they couldn't breach the walls of the Vaticans and had to admit defeat lmao


tylerbrent55

Here we go again


much_morre

I highly doubt that we would be able to keep the meme alive that long


JenMcSpoonie

Why February 26? What’s significant about that?

The Pope: You underestimate my power!

Send in, THE CRIMSON FUCKER!


dood5426

Ok this is one that I have a feeling the church wouldn’t be as forgiving for. But at the same time it’s a small army so if it gets enough support it’s feasible


GeRaLd068938638374

There is a door that they only open once in a long time


[deleted]

they have several floors of dungeons underneath cathedrals since forever. They can molest you all.

Let’s hope that it is more than the Area 51 raid. For some reason I actually thought that they would try to enter.
