Ahh no, they were sanctioned by Pope Paul III to be the military arm, counter revolutionary to the Protestant Reformation this is well documented.

Gotta love the pope hate for no reason.
Literally the pope:Quote:
"No one has said that the United States should have open borders. I think every country has a right to determine who and how and when people enter," Pope Leo XIV said November 18 outside the papal villa of Castel Gandolfo before returning to Rome after a daylong stay there.
The biggest haters of the Catholic church are Christian Zionists. Why doesn't anyone admonish the Christian Zionists for advocating for war? Promoting war is the exact opposite of what Christianity is all about - it is not Christian at all. They also advocate for Churches to accrue billions of dollars in assets, again not Christian.
OPAG said:
As far as this Pope stating that nations have a right to boarders, Well, duh, what should he say?
It's what he really support and he is a full on supporter of the whole social justice movement.
Do you know about the Jesuits and the creating of the CIA? Of course you don't.

I saw it in my visit to Ecuador. Beautiful churches with paupers begging outside. The Catholic church is an abomination after nothing but money, Catholic Christians are wonderful people of faith. I hope they awake.

As a practicing Catholic my frustration with the church is the same with every organization.
Apply the rules and principles universally.
Pope Leo has an obligation to promote peace between nations. I support that. He also had a major obligation to call out the mass slaughter of protestors in Iran and call on the nations of the world to step in and stop it. But he was silent on this.
The church loves to turn its "snide comments" and rebukes to the US for anything we have ever done with the exception of giving away our treasures to the rest of the world. And when we do this it is always "you could do more".

Was he silent on the Iran protests?
https://www.holyseegeneva.org/news/pope-calls-for-patience-and-dialogue-in-iran-and-syria/
In January he stated:
"In particular in Iran and in Syria, where persistent tensions are causing the death of many people. I hope and pray that dialogue and peace may be cultivated with patience.
"I hope and pray for the patient cultivation of dialogue and peace, for the common good of society as a whole."
"I pray for those who are suffering and renew my appeal for an end to violence and for efforts to achieve peace to be intensified."

This is absolutely absurd. Our money is in treasure and land not cash, our clerics are extremely educated and make almost no money, and we're the largest charitable organization in the history of mankind.

America is the largest charitable organization in the history of mankind. Bless your clerics whose hearts are in the faith. However, my eyes in Ecuador do not lie One of the churches had columns with gold plating and beggars outside. Certainly there is something better the church can do with all that money.

Not sure your point, but, I would agree. Lift all people in a commerce friendly capitalist society where meritocracy is preferred and all can compete in commerce. Of course, with assistance for the truly needy.

Except for the fact that Jews think Christ is a common criminal at best, and a blasphemer boiling alive in human excrement for eternity at worse, while muslims think he's the 2nd most important prophet of islam, and the son of God and the virgin Mary, which makes sense when you realize Islam is really just a tribal garbling of Nestorian Christianity.
