Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

There were funnier popes like the one that tried his predecessor for heresy but the dude was dead so they dug him up and tried the corpse.

The funny part is that he was found guilty, punished, had his papacy nullified and had his remains thrown in the tiber. THEN someone found the remains and declared them a holy relic that performed miracles. THEN the next pope declared the cadaver trial null and void and had the cardinals involved with the trial excommunicated. THEN a couple popes later the trial was actually declared correct and the papacy was renullified, then later popes re-re condemned tbe cadaver trial and had the cadaver unnullified as pope.

The real question is, why would he give his blessing to an entrepreneur who exploits people?

Cause then the holy see can build the church and save some souls™. One would think protestantism would be better about it but alas
