Religion: Communion Toast Crunch

If Francis doesn't pull out of this, I suppose it's time to ask the question. Does the resulting RCC conclave stick with progressive-ish leadership, or revert to another Benedict-type conservative?
 
Frankie rushes to proclaim the first Millennial saint. :rolleyes:

Just end this farce already. He was a good kid with a terminal illness who chose to spend the limited time he had on his personal convictions. The 'miracle' stuff is hogwash and always has been. In spite of poor prognoses, things happen in medical science from time to time that we cannot yet explain.

Are those real odds? Some Brit shop?

They could give it to the Blope. Compromise.

Was Francis able to stack the College with progressives before JD got him?

Guardian article.

TBH, hopefully it won't be one of the African bishops, as they're pretty much all conservadolts on human sexuality. They don't actually want to do anything about the AIDS epidemic because it gives them a convenient "divine punishment" for sex outside of marriage. Given than humans will have sex anyway (and they will since it's a primal need), what's the greater immorality - preventing unwanted conception before it even happens (thus no dreaded abortion), or potentially spreading AIDS and other STDs? I know the answer, the church just refuses to accept that there is no evil whatsoever, and in fact quite a bit of good in using contraception. And that, as much as any other reason, is why I renounced the RCC in my 20s. Its Puritanical idea of morality is black & white, it accepts no grey, and its one-sided blame of and hatred for women who don't shut up and play incestuous "boy mom" for some chud's spawn is abhorent.
