    This guy is a badass. He is an individual. He is not the Catholic church, but is an individual person within that church. It’s extremely bigoted to say “none of it matters” because of what other members of the Catholic church have done. It’s like telling a Catholic person, you refuse to be their friend or listen to what they have to say because of what their church has done

      I mean, you’re right but people do that all the time. I’m not Catholic, but I was raised Catholic and people love to dismiss me as a human being all the time for the fact I attended church when I was a pre-teen, as if this makes me automatically a pedophile apologist or something… but the people who think this way are insane and there is no way to reason with them.

      Just like Trump, the Pope knows that he has to attack those like him to protect himself and his organization.

      Unlike Trump, this Pope is clever and much more manipulative.

      People refuse to be friends with Republicans because of what they do, so of course it’s perfectly fine to refuse to be friends with Catholics because of what their church has done (and continues to do).
