isn't it weird to have this religious leader, Who lets be honest, wont change a damn thing, But just speak a bit of the truth and kind of follow the ethics of what religion should be? something about peace and love?

Aye

I've seen police, lawyers, judges, politicians, scientists and all that cover up their mates sex crimes, yet this thread is bound to attract at least one person who'll bring up sex crimes in the church. But that poster will keep their mouth shut about all the other crimes.

Actually I find it refreshing to hear him speak out on matters not associated with religion.

nah nah nah nah nah

He speaks what some already know. Many, many more still fall for all this liberty and democracy stuff.

I really like this bloke who is the ceremonial head of the wealthiest organisation on earth. I ain't a follower mind you, but I dig his attempts to wake up his flock even though the bean counters within that organisation are starting to get a bit agitated.

I can feel an old fashioned assassination coming on.

It's a difficult task to take the church into the 19th century.

Wealth which is tied up in schools, hospitals, museum like institutions, heriatge listed buildings/monuments and antiquities which need to be constantly preserved.

That the wealth you mean?

It's tied up in land which they could easily liquidate and relocate elsewhere. Maybe then they could give that money to the poor they always pretend to care about.

They only 'earned' these assets through ill gotten gains anyway. And then use an avuncular figurehead to preach about caring for the poor. There's a word for such people: frauds.

1/3 of all healthcare in the third world is paid by who?

And how much do they and have they extracted out of the third world?

They're an organisation that lusts for power like any other. The Pope speaking about "powerful people not wanting peace because they live off war" is laughable.

They don't have to do it and they don't raise that much from the poor

Don't usually take much heed of the Il Papa of the day says but he's on the money here. Israel being front and centre when it comes to peace not being in their economic or political interests.

You believe in Divine intervention. Where is it when we need it??

You have no idea what is up my alley.

Being a devoted voyeur, I have a very accurate idea of what's up your alley. You should close your blinds.

Oops, what have I done? Disregard.

because you say your god is omnipotent , omnipresent and omniscient. Why not act?

Plenty of relevance.

Asset rich isn't the same as cash rich.
