Just sell some real estate…. They’ll be fine.
Just pray. If your God is the creator of the universe, it’s pretty likely he can handle the situation once you let him know.
What? BS.
Anyone think this is some independently verified fact?
THEY’RE CLAIMING THIS TO GET OUT OF PAYING ALL THE LAWSUITS they get because of all the r4pe & 4bus3 of little children
"Man who lives in a golden palace complains about money troubles. "
Well it’s a good thing they have all that priceless art they can sell…
They could always start selling indulgences again!
In fact, they could even expand beyond the traditional Catholic market. Even Muslims get into Catholic heaven if they’re willing to cut a big enough check! Maybe you can get some atheist billionaire to buy a $1 billion “just in case” indulgence.
They don’t need to sell anything. They’re sitting on the horde of Rome’s wealth along with all the nazi gold the church took in during WWII. They have the wealth to easily pay their debts but would rather enter into bankruptcy than actually pay them.
Are you sure it’s not because you’ve had to pay billions of dollars in settlements for priests raping children?
Are you sure that’s not why?
I don’t think the victims are getting paid that much. Our society has gone from “if someone powerful did something to you then you did something wrong” to “okay maybe they were wrong for that” but we’re still a ways away from “and they should pay a real price.”
Sell some of that gold they’ve bought and or stolen in the last millenia or two.
Of course people are blaming him being too accepting of trans people, his view of “let them survive but they’re sinners unwelcome to the eucharist” is unfortunately far too progressive for some.
Fortunately the church of Jesus of Nazareth will prioritize profit over peace and love
The idea of the pope marginalizing a group because they’re sinners is pretty sad, given he has dedicated his life to teaching that literally every ordinary human is a sinner. Among other things.
Then that being too progressive for Joe Catholic is even more sad.
Unfortunately, what it is NOT is surprising. White Catholic family here. They dehumanize just as well as the rest of the conservatives.
Maybe donating and praying to your favorite imaginary sky buddy doesn’t actually solve anything.
Good riddance to bad garbage.
Start selling off your nazi gold.
Have they tried institutionally raping children and covering it up for decades if not centuries?
Oh, they have… Darn.
Even if this is true, 2025 is a jubilee year. There will be so many pilgrims to the Vatican and donations would skyrocket
The Pope should just issue a Papal Bull that God has forgiven the Vatican’s debts. And their creditors won’t be able to argue, as he’s literally infallible.
Now there’s a political crisis that would be fun to watch unfold!
I’m tired of all this current stuff that seems to destroy lives as it unfolds.
Can we get a good old fashioned pope/antipope fight while we’re at it? Two claimants to the throne of St. Peter, and the first act of each is to excommunicate the other!
Could this really be? After nearly two thousands years of Catholic Church they are finally brought to their knees.
Like so many altar boys.
It’s like watching the country collapse, i guess.
Yes actually.
