Mobsters, writing is on the wall. You'll be writhing for all eternity in flaming pits if you don't give up your mobstery ways. You've been warned. As if making all of Sicily walk the straight and narrow isn't enough, the almighty in the white cap was able to escort a young girl through a hazard filled room in the Vatican. A goddamn saint I tell you.

'He said: "This life that you live now won't give you pleasure."'

That is hilarious. What's next on the agenda: those that hoard wealth will not have pleasure in this life or those that have sex out of wedlock will not have pleasure in this life or homosexuals will not have pleasure in this life and you will all burn in hell. Anything to sweep that little Priest Pedophile thing under the rug.

Why do you post that as a news here, in a gaming forum..? The Pope is doing what he must, edifying and warning people according to the Bible Holy Scriptures lessons and guidelines. What surprise is it that people killing and stealing won't make it eternally? Isn't it due Justice and a relief for victims!? Just another thread to pick on Christianity.. I would appreciate more work from moderators on GOG forums to close such as they bloom. Freedom of speech has limits, when it's mean provocation.

Frankly you can say that about a lot of topics covered in the forums. The hemp topic being the most current one that comes to mind. This site is not just for talking about gaming and it is certainly a good place to talk about all issues. You could always, you know, not click on a topic that might offend you.

Um... so the Pope called out the mafia. And this is a problem to you, because...?

You could also not spite your mockery and anger for others Faith in the first place, in a dedicated "thread".

Either way, good for him. Takes a lot of courage.

I'm agnostic, taking the word hell from what he said, is 100% true.
Again you can agree or not on the whole thing of punishment of hell etc but he still is right about everything.

I realize that its a stereotype that Mafia types are catholic, but is a threat to people who murder for a living really the best idea?

Okay, so I'm biased because I'm antitheistic and I don't see the relevance of the church in modern society, much less the catholic church...

he is talking about "blood-stained money and blood-stained power", he never speak about sex or homosexuality, in fact he is not against it, read others interviews of him.

Those who mock the Church generally know very little about it.

Edit - I changed my mind about posting here. I'm backing away now. Pretend I wasn't here.

Ex-Christan, 18 years of spirit filled, nondenominational faith. Will openly mock the the issues with the Bible ranging from contradictions & discrepancies to more simple matters such as the world flood issue not having anything to say about fish, plants, or matter compression.

I grew up with the Church and that is why I want nothing to do with it as an adult. There is hope for change with the new pope, but until change happens it's still the same church in my eyes.

I've always thought the Pope has the easiest job in the world, at least in modern times. Make the most banal and obvious judgments like 'killing is bad' and you're a fuckin' genius on moral authority, I mean, WHO WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT?

I want to play pope for a month. Just for the hell of it.
