Damned Catholics

[Pat Mustard]

Theologian Alexander Görlach claims that the Catholic Church is in the crisis of falling apart because it's inhumane, has nothing to offer anymore, and it lost the trust among the faithful.

Today, the Catholic Church is being shattered from within by those who oppose change. They make out anything that is human and humane (empathy with divorcees, for example) to be an enemy and condemn it as relativism and renunciation of the true faith.

Right now, the Catholic Church is currently in its worst crisis since the Reformation and at risk of falling apart.

the cassock-wearing archconservatives who triggered the crisis by tolerating and hushing up the sexual abuse of children and young people by priests are now doing everything to undermine the pope's efforts to reform the Catholic Church.

Communion for the divorced? Never! Married priests? Heaven forbid! Then the whole world would know that many in the clergy are gay (nothing wrong with that, of course, but the Catholic Church, unfortunately, hasn't latched onto the fact). Women in leadership roles? Certainly not! Jesus Christ was a man; no more needs to be said.

Jesuits say they are going to raise $100 million and give it to black people because Jesuits were slave traders for over a century.

Why can't they just give them gold from the Vatican? Or let them live in some of the Papal palaces?

The jesuits haven't exactly enjoyed that kind of relationship with the vatican.  It's not something that they can do - but they probably can raise 100mil, and it's a pretty jesuit thing to do.

Given the current pope's a jesuit, now might be the time that they can. But yeah, for most of its history the society of jesù has either been proscribed or barely tolerated.
