"Pope Francis says ‘ideological Christians’ are a ‘serious illness’ within the Church

I understand you said the situation in the U.S. is unfair and discriminatory.
That's a good thing.

 

I know nothing about the USA - I never was there. I'm not able to imagine that people in the USA are not allowed to visit their friends in hospitals. You said that such laws are existing and I said this would be laws from idiots for idiots. I guess nearly every American will see it the same way.

That's why most of the country is for gay rights.
Glad you understand.

 

Because the people like to visit their friends in hospitals? ... Aha. ...

Because we don't like to see people unfairly marginalized based on a religious whimsy.

 

I like this Pope....a big benefit to Catholicism having a good man at the helm...pretty damn smart too:

""Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world," Pope Francis wrote. "This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system."

"The thirst for power and possessions knows no limits," he continued. "In this system, which tends to devour everything which stands in the way of increased profits, whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified market, which become the only rule."

"Such an economy kills," the pope wrote. "How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points? This is a case of exclusion. Can we continue to stand by when food is thrown away while people are starving? This is a case of inequality. Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape."
