Pope Francis, a witness to atheism.

One criticism that many atheists have pointed out (I recall Sean Carroll doing so with his debate with Craig), is that all religions are man-made, because not only do they contradict each other they also contradict themselves. With the definitive interpretation of Amoris Laetitia now being made public by Francis himself, it is a good time, in my opinion, for the modern atheist movement to do a little bit of offense here and point out how the Catholic Church has (once again) "changed its tune" on what was, once upon a time, viewed as being an "immutable" truth. For anyone up to the task, here's an easy to access online guide of the Church's so-called "teachings" from the supposed time of Jesus:

Atheists, in my opinion, need to start pointing out to Catholics, especially, those who may be on the fence doubting their religion, that Francis' recent teachings are in contradiction to centuries of Catholic teaching. While some of you may applaud Francis in his reforms of the Catholic Church, I believe that an even bigger prize awaits the atheist movement in convincing practicing Catholics that Catholicism is just bullshit, whether stirred clockwise or counter-clockwise. Many Catholics are, for the most part, firmly in the "Catholic gobbledygook" camp already, but I see some opportunity here!
Thoughts?

Good news for certain and we don't have to do a damned thing.
Maybe the Catholic Church will self-destruct:

I swear this Pope is exactly like the Westboro Baptist Phelpers only magnitudes more clever.
False flagging from the inside out. He is dismantling the Catholic Church....and it'll be blamed on Jesus.
Here he is saying Jesus's human life was failure and he failed at the cross. @ :40

By the sulfurous stank of Satan's taint!!! Look at that face @ 0:48-50 right after he say "the failure of the cross"!!!!

The interesting thing is that it was the last Pope who was considered to be on the dark side.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You do not know me very well, surprise, because I do not do sarcasm.
