Well now.

We can't kill murderers, nor can we put them in prision for life, says the pope.

That would be evil.

We must let them out again.

We could sentence them to a day less then life.

As they say, talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words.

Perhaps His Holiness can set a good example by HIRING convicted murderers to work at the Vatican once they're released from prison?

Very good!

We can fly all our freed murders to Vatican city, and he can let them roam around free, just like God intended.

We could send some free range Chesters too but they grow them in house already

How about we just excommunicate them to an island somewhere that no one wants. That is a new idea that no one has thought of before.

Or we can build bigger walls around the Vatican and send them there.

I mean no offense to any resident Catholics. I know Faith, by it's nature, isn't logical, but every day I wonder more how people still bring themselves to fund the Catholic Church.

But let them out where. Over the wall at the Vatican. All yours, Frankie.

Others may disagree with me, but my Faith is independent of any particular religious organization or institution. Those exist to support the Faith. They are not the Faith.

How does His Popeyness feel about child molesters?

Judging by his response to the Chilean bishop scandal, he seems to take the approach that if there weren't at least a dozen eyewitnesses, it didn't happen.

"I have seen no credible evidence ..." I believe was the crux of his position (as he readjusted his glacier goggles).

An organization run by a literal Marxist with a significant amount of pedos in it's leadership.. We should totally listen to those people.

There isn't an explanation of human existence out there that isn't at the very bottom based on faith in unverifiable or unsupportable assumptions/presuppositions.

To think otherwise is to engage in self delusion.

Logic can be used to examine the various ideas and authories people put their faith in.

Logic tells me the Pope has strayed far afield and shouldn't be a trusted authority on Christian doctrine or practice, having faith in his authority would lead a person astray.

Another line of thought on this. It is a great example of how leftists always end up going against law&order and a stable society. They 1) restrict weapons, 2) restrict self defense, and 3) limit punishments for severe crimes. They seem to be very consistent with those goals.

Progressives have converged nearly every institution.

There is a quote along the lines of " every institution not overtly right wing will eventually become a leftist institution".

Even right wing institutions are always in danger of infiltration, compromise and eventually redefining the purpose and goals to align with leftist principles.

The RCC is a good example.

I agree with the Pope. The good alternative to a life sentence is to take the guilty party out the back door of the courtroom and have him/her hanged by the neck until dead.

The pope says that would be wrong!

We can't kill murders!

The vicar of Christ commands us!

Communism thrives on disorder and discontent. If there is none, make some. Your points 1 and 2 are self-protective, point three allows social misfits back into society to cause more of that disorder and discontent.

Half-assed Catholic here, and I agree with this. The Catholic (or any) church, is made up of fallible people. Churches have been made up of people that promoted torture, burning at the stake, drowning witches, and now, commie pinko stuff. One's faith has to transcend the people who come and go in religious institutions.

The trouble is, the latter don't put the brakes on the former.

If they do, that's how new denominations are formed.
