>I am agnostic (if God exists, he should give me a sign, but so far he hasn't done so),
God has no form. The thought today that God is human came from Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine Chapel, the finger of God touching man.
After this painting Michelangelo was excommunicated. He not only gave form to God, but gave genitals to angels.
>That's why I am not at all surprised that right wing fanatics hate him so thoroughly.
What is the meaning of a pope?
Reinforce faith, hope, take biblical teachings to unbelievers, discredited.
What is the pope doing?
Politics. When religion and politics come together it does not result in good fruit. Just check:
https://www.vaticannews.va/pt/papa/news/2021-04/partilha-bens-propriedade-privada-papa-francisco-homilia.html"Christian tradition has never recognized the right to private property as absolute or untouchable...".
Does this mean that the Vatican will open its doors to anyone? Can I leave Brazil and move to the Vatican?
But I need to give up my house for someone else, not by my own will, but by imposition!!!.
We know that the expropriation of private property is one of the utopian ideas defended by communism, supposedly to promote equality.
The argument I use to defend myself is:
Deuteronomy 5:21 >“You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
"Render unto pope, that which is due to pope, render unto God, that which is due to God".
