I’m not saying that Jimmah is entirely wrong either, I’m sure there are more motives than just one driving the Pope’s decisions on these appointments.
I think Jimmah is onto something here. Some no doubt will argue that this church deserves a modicum of respect. Regardless, we all know what the Roman Church peddles; with a final selling point that you get to avoid eternal pain. From a loving creator deity. In Europe, it would seem that the popular consensus is to do your own critical thinking.
