The Old Sufferer will be awarded sainthood by the buggerers in the Vatican 09/04/16. Let' s make sure no one dying of terminal cancer gets their pain medication that day. Out of respect for Mama Grimace!

I already had no respect for the Catholic church. They can stop trying to lower my opinion of them because there's no room.

I have a conspiracy theory I'd like to share.

At first, I gained a little respect for the fact that they elected Francis as Pope. He seemed like a genuine guy who wanted to improve the image of the church. And, while I still think that's true, I think the cardinals elected him solely for that purpose. Francis has been saying all sorts of liberal shit (for a Catholic that is) but what has the Church really done to reflect his words? The Church has no intention of changing, they just realized how shitty of a public image they have, so in order to remain relevant they conspired to elect a guy who says everything the younger generation wants to hear. Everyone will now think of Catholicism has more tolerant than it actually is, attracting a younger generation who is the least religious ever.

That's most likely what's going on, even if we don't know it for sure. I still can't respect the guy. While he did run out the doors on the first day shouting as liberally as a Catholic possibly can just to impress us, he also started falling back into the usual Catholic bullshit later on. He's rather quiet now as well, which I think is part of that.

Remember when you had to fly three times around a cathedral or some shit to become a saint?  Church is getting cheap on us, even the quality of miracles are declining.

Her most impressive miracle was to convince millions of people to think that she was actually moral, saintly and humble.

Apparently you don't even have to believe in fucking god to be a saint anymore.

As her fame increased, her faith refused to return. Her smile, she said, was a mask.

"What do I labor for?" she asked in one letter. "If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true."

It seems it is enough if all you do is keep the donations rolling in.

I read that they are actually trying to officially spin that as a virtue, how her struggle with maintaining faith is a sign of heroism that makes her even more deserving of sainthood. You couldn't make it up.

[Minimalist]

Well....

then, Jesus, You also are not true.

this should be childs play for an organization which thinks "child's play" means fucking them up the ass.

Given the amount of cocksuckers getting sainthood in the last three decades alone, this shouldn't surprise anyone. And given the amount of cocksuckers being sainted by John Paul II alone, I don't really consider this newsworthy, since I don't give half a shit.
