Aww, Bergoglio pretends that he doesn't understand that religion is a business.
Quote:Pope calls on Church to not become a “supermarket of salvation”
“Either the Church is the faithful people of God on a journey, holy and sinful, or it ends up being a business of varied services,” Pope Francis said, deploring how certain parishes have “price lists” for sacraments. “When pastoral agents take this second path, the Church becomes the supermarket of salvation and the priests mere employees of a multinational.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
