Pope Francis praises the George Floyd protests as true Good Samaritans

[Michie]

Sure, apparently some bad players can get in and manipulate or exploit such a noble cause by political machinations. But the racism of Floyd's death (made obvious by Derek Chauvin's skin color - Pope Francis approves this message) calls for radical and extreme measures to be celebrated by Catholics the world over.

Like anyone beholden to the leftist state, when things done for the left go sour, it's always someone else's fault. When bucking the Left, for even the best of reasons - like worried about feeding your family - it's because you're a selfish devil who likely doesn't care about starving people in the developing world. Pope Francis can obviously tell the difference.

Oh, and Pope Francis also says shorten work days. With production and transportation grinding to a halt and even items of necessity becoming scarce, that's a bit like telling the Titanic to avoid the iceberg instead of hitting it head on.

Nonetheless, he's the pope God has seen fit to allow for our time. Rather than cheer him on blindly as the Catholic left will no doubt do, I prefer to wonder what the Church has done to warrant this period in its history.

Stop the press! Marxists are endorsing the riots caused by their cancel culture minions. Who couldve anticipated such an surprising turn of events... ?

And I was so proud of him when he stood up against the Jews, proclaiming the Gospel clearly. Oh well. If I had to choose, I'd rather he stand up for Christ and George Floyd than give into unbelievers. Do they even have white supremacists in Rome? Could he just be ignorant?

I left the RC soon after the Pachamama showed up. That, like kissing the Koran and joint prayer services are a kick in the pants of actual Faith. But most of this stuff is political and he's allowed to be politically wrong. Christ didn't promise Peter or the apostles that they wouldn't be leftists or the divine right for that matter. At the most supporting George Floyd may be a venial sin, if it's a sin at all.

Another thought, or two actually.

1) When the Western half of the Roman empire fell, the bishops filled the vacuum. They had to. There were no actual countries. Who else was suppose to care for the people Rome left behind?
2) The bishop of Rome is the sole Patriarch of the West. That is a lot of people, especially if you add on the Americas. One man for millions. It's insane. I'm surprised that he does as good as he does. We've all heard the expression, 'Do one thing well or many things wrong'.

So maybe leniency for him? Idk, I'm not Catholic anymore.

We get the pope we deserve. But if we pray hard enough maybe it won't be so bad.

Pope Francis is not a punishment. You didn't do anything wrong Chevy. God is not punishing you or your Church.

Punishment, nah... I dont think so. Another heretic and a dreadful pope is more likely. God has put us through similar trials in the past and we're still here. We'll outlive the pachamama-worshiper too. It will just feel like an eternity and he'll most likely live to be a hundred before we finally have another conclave to replace him.

Pope Francis compared popular movements to the Good Samaritan, and said that these two things reminded him of the protests which happened because of the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020, by police officer Derek Chauvin.
