    Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

    Ezekiel 16:49

      James 5:1-6, NRSV

      Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure during the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.

      Their options shalt be out of the money, and the numbering of their losses shalt be three. Four shalt they not be, neither shall they be two.

    How many billions are being spent on his funeral, could that money not ease some of this inequality?

    Francis tried to be a decent person, but the organization he supports has an ungodly amount of money and outreach which aren’t being put to good use. Christianity could do so much more to help, they just choose not to.

      He was the only good Catholic as far as I’m concerned. A bunch of weirdos and pedophile enablers.

      All positions of power are aloft piles of blood and gold. We had someone real up there, for a time. At least on paper. What else can we do? Burn it all down from within? 🙊

    When you say these things and nothing changes, it’s just another Tuesday rant.

    When you’re the pope and you say these things and nothing changes, you’re “the conscience of the world”.

      I have a sneaking suspicion that that Palestinian carpenter wasn’t just a commie, but also a Jew!
