The What Papacy?

I think most people agree that an awful lot of churches are just plain full of shit, they're practically nothing more than privileged businesses with a license to steal, and way too many of them have been shown to be a rat's nest of abuse and hypocrisy.

And the Catholic Church's history in particular has been rife with shitty deals and coverups and monumentally stupid alliances.

So, normally, I can just dismiss any given church - I don't much care what a church does, and I don't much care about what 'church policy' is.

That said, when the leader of the world's biggest cult stands up for peace and principled conduct, and says there's a real problem with the way certain governments are behaving, and my government decides to get shitty with that church - then I do care. I care a lot about that.

Angela gets it right - "Who the fuck does Elbridge Colby think he is?"
