    Not to be that guy, but are there any catholic leaders in the epstein files? It doesn’t matter which side you’re on to create a distraction and most of the followers of the church are on the lack of power side.

      I believe the catholics had their own independent system running parallel to Epstein’s. It was already well established before Epstein started.

      Surprisingly not (from what is accessible). I guess Epstein wasn’t really the religious type, and also that he was Jewish.

    Pope Leo XIV rejects claims that God justifies war

    Not sure what was expected here. The Pope hasn’t sanctified any war since the Crusades. Mores probably changed a little bit since then.

      The special white cap is a receiver. Sometimes, though, he needs to don a much larger hat in order to get better reception.

      When the Pope tilts his head while wearing the Mitre (the big one), it acts like a directional yagi antenna. This is also why churches use “sacred geometry”; which is really just a clever method of improving reception of divine wideband.

      The (real) gold thread on his hat isn’t just to make it look fancy, it’s sophisticated circuitry! When the Pope tilts his head in prayer, he’s actually calibrating the tilt sensor to minimize packet loss.

      A closed group of people that have absolutely no connection to the original religion deemed it so.

    consistent view with Jesus Christ as a reformer (of Old Testament), that Constantine broke in 390ad by declaring that god and jesus were of the same matter. Entirely for warmongering purposes, and heresy laws to kill everyone who thought Jesus could be a humanist superhero sent by god. The church/Charlemagne would later erase your conscience/internal devotion to god/jesus in 1000ad by declaring that holy spirit was also part of same matter single trinity, and so giving the church authority over your conscience. Crusades and dark ages would follow.

    Luther/Protestants made a big deal that all of this was bs mistranslation of latin version of bible, which original greek version contradicted, and simultaneously the core of the protestant movement, but in the end, fully adopting the trinity as the most church empowering formula of god commanding you to follow Emperor’s murder and theft decrees.

    Most constructive act Pope could do is declare those early corruptions of Jesus/conscience/humanism by the Church, invalid acts of warmongering (Constantine sat in pope’s chair for debate to erase Jesus for war). The corruption means that Judaism and Christianity are identical, because it is “thou shalt steal with the divine right to murder those who deserve murder according to your god chosen ruler’s schizophrenic or mendacious power maximizing internal dialogue”

    Are we absolutely sure that this guy has a direct line of communication with god?

    Maybe we can find some other folks with a direct line and validate this.

    Sometimes I wonder if the church missed the Reform: your JC doesn’t justify war, maybe, but the crazies doing massacres on a whim are protestants (if not Zionist Jews) and their flavor of JC not only justifies it, but even requires a sacrifice of empowered Israeli for the Second Coming to happen.

    These statements have no weight. Typical priests.
