  • some ass hole in a robe waving his hand. Shut up you crooked bastard and put on some pants

  • lol, oh man, I love this string of rationalization. Have fun squeezing through the eye of a needle on the back of a camel.

  • What a hyopcrite!!! If the pope at all followed christ, he would of listened when christ said, sell everything you have, give it unto the poor, and come follow me. NOT take people's money and live like a god/king yourself. When will people wake up from this bronze age bullshit!!

  • @Mephisto4543 My cousin Mario didn't cook or pay rent.He lived at his brother Marty's place.Mario read the Bible&watched DVDs(Apostolic-fathers,PadrePi­o &BishopSheen).Marty also had a job at a fast-food joint. Mario never cooked a  dinner,or chipped-in on the rent.Marty was a nice-guy.Since he loved Mario,Marty sent away for vocational-pamphlets from the Franciscans& placed them near the DVDs.Mario had a vocation.Mario became a Franciscan.Now,Mario,pays no rent & cooks no food (Lk10: 38 -42 )

  • @auzziesoceroo Christian Poverty could actually be as concrete as the Life of Christ & as varied as His Parables.A Baby without a crib,placed in feed-troft (a manger) is God's way of entering our-world."He emptied Himself & took the form of a slave"(Phil.2:7).His foster-father was a carpenter,but when he went to dinners at the homes of the wealthy,unlike most of us,He didn't go out of his way to flatter them.& ,actually hurt a very-pious rich-kid's feelings(Mt.19:16-27).& He died on Wood-Cross

  • How adorable, Darth Sideous thinks it's cool to be poor. Nice shoes papa.

  • Good word! +

  • Very nice by His Holiness !
