So is raping altar boys, though...
Your comment is whataboutism
Yeah, I realized that after posting. I'm just mad at the moment, excuse my violent fantasies for a bit. What I tried to say is: what does it matter what this random old dude thinks of anything regarding anything to do with morality or conscience? He is the head of the worst institution in the last 2000 years or so grace the rest of us with their presence, whose only contributions to society is the stifling of progress, endless wars waged in the name of their imaginary friend because someone else (usually brown people) believe in THE SAME FUCKING IMAGINARY FRIEND, and the protection of child-rapists and other abusing vermin. Oh how I long for the day when the basilica of st. peter burns to the ground along with their corrupt institution.
I sure understand your frustration. The reason why it matters what the pope says is that a lot of people following trump are strong believers in the church. So the church saying it, may give that speech additional weight for exactly these people.
I was about to say that catholics aren't as politically fucked as the evangelicals, but I looked up the data and the difference is down to 5%.
When I was young and personally knew some catholics, they seemed so much more fun than the stuffy evangelicals. Their parents voted for Democrats and were much more permissive with their kids compared to protestants. Either my experience is fairly unique or catholics have changed.
I know evangelical and protestant don't mean the same thing but at least where I grew up almost all the protestants were evangelical or worse. Yeah it gets worse.
Please forgive the source, it doesn't appear to be biased.
