Priest publicly wishes for Pope's quick death...

[Jehanne]

Francis is more of a political leader than a religious one, and the so-called "immutable" Catholic faith is just silly putty in his hands that he can use to maximize the Church's declining influence in the world.

Traditional Catholics hate him. As an atheist, I understand why; if Francis had been alive 500 years ago, his contemporaries would have burned him alive.

I love the smell of schism in the morning.


It smells like . . . . .




VICTORY

Sounds like the pope needs to start burning heretic priests at the stake again. This would be one source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas that should continue to emit to its heart’s content.

I believe they are God's people,

Oh yeah, they believe in an imaginary friend all right. Being Irish I can confirm that.

I would suggest the pope defrock the priest, but we know defrocked priests are a danger to nearby children.

They were not frocked in the first place to make children safe around them.

A lot of Catholics are beginning to recognize the real nature of the RCC, it is very disappointing to them.
I believe they are God's people, despite the fact that the RCC is Satan's organisation, the Antichrist system.
They trusted in the paraded good - it's facade.
Kissing babies in public, while torturing them in their secret dungeons.
Thousands of sincere priests and nuns have no idea that these horrors are the norm in its higher ranks.
The Vatican sits over all the nations and has their loyalty, finance and support.

Thank god you're here to point the finger. 

Be careful of the three others pointing back at you/yours.

You claim that atheists misrepresent religion, but at least we rely on facts when we point the finger at religious organizations. Where's your proof of these "secret dungeons"? It sounds like some shit you heard on Alex Jones.

If you lived in the middle ages you seem like the type that imagined "covens of witches" gathering outside the village at night. To bad you can't round up innocent women and burn them at the stake anymore, eh Banned? Christians like you must get nostalgic for those times...

It's a classic tactic to smear the opposition (which includes every other stripe of jesusism, not just atheists) at every turn. I give "banned" zit point shit cred for the same reason I give the rest of that lot any cred. They all believe in a slightly different interpretation, and will go to their graves clutching their pearls over that slightly different belief. Fortunately, these days we're allowed to defy that mentality, and many less people are maimed or killed over it. BTW, my take on "banned" is that (s)he changed their username in order to carry out some martyr complex. Once (s)he gets crazy enough, it'll come true. IIRC, that was something of why the name changed in the first place, but I'm not interested enough to search that out. Prove me wrong, "banned".

Not that it helps much, but I forgot to ever link to the story, which is somewhat longer than I pasted.
