I'm Sorry

But That's Just Crappola

You can go along with pretty much anything they dish you until once in a while someone says something that is just stop you in your tracks astoundingly wrong. Just ignorant crap. And you can't let it slide.

It doesn't matter who it comes from, if it is wrong, it is wrong. Such a statement kept issuing over the issue of a papal white paper of sorts making it an article of faith that women clerics should be automatically excommunicated (and anyone who helped them get there) while men bonking boys
don't get automatically excommunicated-WHEN THEY ARE PRIESTS!. Astounding. That's how much they hate, fear and loathe powerful women. And how much they view sex with women beneath sex with boys. (Because women aren't allowed to marry priests)- Twisted and perverse and no excuse for it. Should be heartily retracted.
It's evil.
Then just now, the Pope issued a statement (see Zenit article to the right) in which he states (paraphrased) essentially that those who don't accept that God and Jesus works within the confines of his church and ministers are being sifted by Satan like wheat. No, sorry, also Crap. Also wrong. Also insulting.
Jesus does not merely work within the 'confines' of anything- he is the creator of Heaven and Earth and owns everything in it. Ministers serve him and he is not remotely bound by their pathologies and bigotries today any more than any Pharisee had power to stop his resurrection. The Church by its pathologies ad bigotries creates death in some cases whereas Christ elevates to Life. A sadistic pedofile priest is an agent of Satan, not the woman who wants to read Scripture in a Mass, not the woman who wants to marry a priest she is in love with. The Church
has crippled Christ's manifestation on earth by it's doctrinal absurdities that are heretical and profoundly against the nature of God.
The Church has within it the smoke of Satan festering underneath Billions of dollars of settlements on sexual crimes with minors and males to cover and excuse it's pathetically exhaulted dysfunctionality with regard to women. The Church is being sifted like Satan from the highest ranks downward. And the delusion is stunning.

One can pretty much ignore that the Pope has the look and feel of Grandpa Munster with a hangover, but when he issues statements like this, just like all the other PR faux pas that have marked his Papacy, there is only one thing you can do--ignore Him. Or blog about it.
Jesus isn't bound by any human. That's what Supernatural means. Jesus can unleash chains and open doors of even an ecclesiastical prison. When Jesus rose from the death there was a massive earthquake that no Pharisee could stop and the dead rose and walked about the earth- and no Pharisee had any power whatsoever over it. When Jesus wants to raise the dead, they are raised in a twinkling of an eye.
