The Roman Catholic Church may fall into a crisis in the coming days with the death of Pope Benedict.
Pope Benedict was the first Pope to “retire” in almost 600 years. He also was the oldest Pope at the time of his death.
NBC News reported yesterday:
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, the Bavarian-born theologian whose conservative Roman Catholicism earned him the nickname “God’s Rottweiler,” and who shocked his flock by suddenly resigning the papacy after just eight years, died Saturday, the Vatican said.
He was 95.
Benedict was the longest-living pope, having surpa ssed Pope Leo XIII in September 2020…
Who cares? The Roman Catholic Church, like all “churches”, is a petrified relic of irrationality and ignorance. What’s worse is that churches and religions normalize dishonesty. Nobody really believes what they claim to, so everyone gets used to lying.
Piss off Yakawama.
” Nobody really believes what they claim to, so everyone gets used to lying.”
Ummm……what? Want to know what I believe- 100%… I mean really , really believe?
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
He was only One Man !!!!
