I doubt this would ever happen, but imagine if the Roman Catholic pope would do this, then he might actually be doing God's work....

But no pope has ever done it!

Danny Neary @itsdannyneary Jesus: This is my body and my blood. Catholics: This is 100% literal, every week we perform a cannibalistic ritual. Jesus: Feed and clothe the poor. Catholics: That's actually a complicated parable, that doesn't really mean help the poor.

FYI this is a sin if you’re a #catholic.

i get one of the big things about Vatican II is to pivot away from talking damnation, but this is 100% against the #Beatitudes; and the reason Papa Kiko and Pope Bob have made it very clear LGBTQI are god’s children too.

also: this #cruelty is so typical of USA #evangelicalism (aka #christofascism) that bears reminding, most USA evangelical groups refuse to join the communion of ecumenism proposed by the RCC that rejects antisemitism, homophobia, etc

The #Takanawa #Catholic #Church just called the police on me. The police were very nice and understanding and let me go after a brief talk.

I have been seeking #Justice after being assaulted by the guards at Hope Services ( a catholic charity), in #Kona #Hawaii . Several other #homeless people had confided in me that they were being abused, but did not dare speak out, for fear of further violence. Also, they depend upon the charity for food.

I approached the catholic leaders politely in Kona, and they did not take responsibility. Then I moved to #Tokyo seeking political asylum.

I approached Mr. Takaii, a priest at the #Meguro Catholic Church, and asked for answers concerning the abuse. Mr. Takaii told me that he did not speak any English, though we had been talking in English for a few days, and he speaks English fluently.

After persistently and politely raising questions with the Takanawa church, I kept being stonewalled. I still have questions about why they cannot feed me 3 meals a day, turning me away hungry, though they just held a fundraiser for #hungry people in the Philippines. The priest, Mr. Noguchi harshly told me to go back to America.

Just now, I returned to Takanawa church from the police station, and Mr. Noguchi handed me a letter from Mr. Wataru Suematsu, the parish leader, banning me from church, and threatening police action.

I intend to get justice for me, and for other people the Catholic Church continues to abuse.

The Catholic Church is doing something shady with the money, as it is a lavishly constructed church, with a big attendance on weekends, and collects a lot of money.

The Catholic Church is an organization by and for, old white men. They will always elect an old white man as #pope . A 39 year old Japanese woman will never be pope.

The organization was funded by loot from #colonial #genocide, which it continues to hold on to, and continue as a big mind-manipulating business. Even as pope after pope apologizes for the atrocities of the church, the abuses continue.

Pope Leo has called for #peace though he has not yet asked his followers to resign from the #military which would be a real follow through.

People of the world, from countries that the church looted and impoverished, are rising up and demanding #reparations

There’s so much blood on the hands of the church, that the pope’s crocodile tears are not enough to wash them away. Empty words are not enough. People demand to be made whole.

Please boost this message, to hold the church accountable.

Why was his head cut off?

Have you ever heard of such a death before, for this specific reason?

What did he do? He told a king it was not lawful for him to marry his brother's wife.

That was the motive for killing John the Baptist.

In this generation, many filled with hate will want and demand beheading of those with faith in God. Why?

They believe that #gay and #lesbian marriage is unlawful, and outside of God's will.

@Quentin A man does not need to choose from church A or church B, but he could read the word of God himself and live according to it, so that he could belong to the only church that is in heaven, a church not made by men at all, but formed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Regarding the inverted cross: "The Vatican did not respond to a request for comment." 🤔 I can find no official statement from the Vatican affirming the upside-down crucifixion of Peter.

#Catholic #God #Jesus

@Quentin Not only mass, but the entire collection of scriptures and their translation to languages people can actually understand (like English) was actively repressed by the Roman Catholic church.

SINS of Christian Nationalism & Zionism

Sins of Christian War-Making

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-maDeoEDiI

Synopsis:

Holy war is a doctrine of the devil. Every church and organization promoting war for Christ is anti-christ.

Man cannot solve the evil in the world by 'fighting' or violence. That is exactly what the devil and his minions want. The gospel can not be spread by the sword or power of the state.

Every form of radical liberation theology or dominion theology is satanic because it denies the word of God and replaces it with the gospel of war.

Christian nationalists hate the lost because they too are lost souls with a messiah complex. Instead of following the messiah they want to reconstruct him in the imperial state. They do not have love of their neighbor.

My observation:

Christian Nationalism is disguised Roman imperialism, globalism and Zionism, hence it is neither Christian nor nationalist in character. Christian Nationalism has the same character imprint as Holy Roman Empire crusaderism. It is wicked and deceitful.

Christian Nationalists claim to advance 'dominion' or 'taking dominion'. This is blasphemy. The dominion over the nations was given to Jesus, not to imperfect men. Jesus is the one who is given dominion over all the nations. Thus Christian Nationalism blasphemously posits itself as the messiah with the dominion, just like its Catholic parent church.

While everyone is distracted by the scripted ICE theater the counter-reformation unification of Roman Church and state proceeds stealthily. Rome's agents are slowly converting America to the Imperial Roman religion. This is the true goal of so-called 'Christian Nationalism': the forcible conversion of America to Roman imperial Christianity, a la Constantine and Justinian.

From his bully pulpit the President is proclaiming Imperial Roman religion about their Roman moon goddess Mary, also known as Minerva, Venus, Easter, Astarte, Semiramis, and Isis.

Presidential Message on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception

"In her honor, and on a day so special to our Catholic citizens, we remember the sacred words that have brought aid, comfort, and support to generations of American believers in times of need: Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
