Just a heads up for folks who are likely not Christians or are catholics...
Pretty much every single believer i have ever met who is NOT a Catholic...which is the vast, overwhelming majority of Christians...all members of protestant churches of any denomination such as Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, CoGs, CoCs, and about 100 other types of Christians who may or may not attend church regularly or be members but do read the Bible and worship the God of Isaac and Jacob...so you know....maybe a Billion or more people on planet Earth....
Could not possibly care any less what the Vatican, their invented religious figure "the pope" who is never mentioned in the Bible, or the catholic church have to say about ANYTHING WHATSOEVER. It means less than nothing to anyone on this planet EXCEPT for a catholic. I personally know and have met several people raised catholic that are very good people and love God. Ask any non catholic Christian what they think and know about the catholic church, the vatican, idol worship, indulgences, praying or paying relatives out of fictional "purgatory" (also never once mentioned in the Bible by name or even as a concept or place) ...or any of a litany of other shenanigans by the catholic church such as well publicized institutional molestation by priests and the 100s of millions in slush funds for their lawyers that protect the molesters and their churches.....
Just wanted to get that out there, seems folks keep posting stuff in this forum about what the catholic church or pope thinks about world affairs....pretty much every Christian you will ever come across outside that 1 denomination looks at those statements with the same incredulity that they do if Bin Laden said the same things. Zero credibility. None. Right up there with a Benny Hinn televangelist grifter sheisting demented 80 year old ladies out of their SS checks.
