Wtf. I’m saying that the Catholic Church only makes major changes to dogma once a millennium or so, and I’m pretty interested in what they’re gonna do since it affects the lives of countless billions of people. You can quibble over the fact that you don’t get all you want, and I agree that they’re still a shitty theistic monolithic organization, but I was talking about what benefits a change in their dogma would bring, not fixating on the shortcomings.
Until the pope can stop his priests and congregation from fucking children, is there any reason to think there will be any positive change?
Like most figures in religion and Catholicism, the pope is a fairweather friend for Catholics. When he’s singing their tune they’re happy to quote him and laud him for his god given thoughts. When he isn’t, well we get exactly the reaction he’s been given: his own people saying he is wrong even though they were claiming he is God’s earthly representative just moments earlier.
I’m not outright saying nothing at all good can come of the effort to make change, as there will be some small minority that actually adhere to it, but I don’t see that happening for the vast majority of Catholics who will continue in their bigotry.
Change over generations will occur moreso, but I think that was coming regardless of his stance. At least that’s what recent history has shown us.
This is a laborious argument that adds nothing to the conversation. You can choose to read my words childishly or you can read them as they are meant. Everyone else was able to parse them, catch up with them.
Hey, not knowing something isn’t wrong. It isn’t illiteracy to not have read whatever that is related to, remember the xkcd comic on today’s 10,000. I also only read the quote on lemmy.

Are you of the belief that the Pope has super powers?
No, but they do
You’re the one demanding the Pope be, at minimum, prescient, and ideally omniscient.

I absolutely understood what your comment. I find your ask a bit impossible to fulfill.
Entertain yourself pretending to try.

It’s a fairly famous quote.
Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

“Being illiterate is not a moral failing. Being an asshole though.” - You, two minutes after posting this.
Look in the mirror, asshole. Lol.
I was called Satan and psychotic while still calmly explaining the source of the quote.
Then called psychotic again.
Idgaf if you can’t understand or what you think but I feel fine calling him an illiterate crybaby asshole.

Now their response is not the best of course.
Being illiterate is not a moral failing.
Being an asshole though.
I was actually mainly disagreeing with your use of illiterate as I mentioned.
