The death of Catholicism.

[Pat Mustard]

It seems that Catholicism is becoming more and more secular by the day.  With Francis' proposed decentralization of the Church and its declining numbers throughout first-world nations, how long does the Catholic Faith have left until it is abandoned completely?

The thing you've got to remember about the Junta pope is that he's more pr savvy than what preceded him, but theologically little difference exists, between him and, say, pope Nazi. You have to look not at what he is saying to the secular western media, but what he says to people he securely believes are true followers. What he is telling them are the same messages peddled by the rcc since the 1860's. Look at what he said when in the Philippines a few years ago, his message was misogynistic and homophobic baiting, or even his hour long chat with your one who wouldn't do her job and issue marriage certs to gay couples.

He's clever enough to know that if he lays on enough smaltz and doublespeak the western media will be too lazy to investigate his true message.
