I always ask....what would Jesus do?

Would he have a palace filled with priceless art?

Or would he sell it and feed the poor?
 
Jesus comes down from heaven and sees his church has palaces filled with priceless art and protected pedophiles for decades

And says.....


Hey guys when did I ever say to do THAT stuff?

What I don't understand is if the church cares about the poor why does it have palaces full of priceless art?

Nearly all of which was paid for by royalty or other people and donated to the church

Yeah, what do you think the temple in Jerusalem was?

Did he sell the temple?

You’re being silly and juvenile. It’s clear you’ve engaged in no real state of Christ, and your view of him comes from people with “Jesus was a communist” bumper stickers

Jesus never had a temple in Jerusalem


That was for jews.

He formed a new religion without temples

I see you dodged the question there. :)

He would probably keep promises to protect artwork entrusted to his care. He also wouldn't go on a discussion forum and gaslight people.

Tell me you are kidding!
 
dcsports said:
lol. Nope. Again, I'm happy to discuss the topic. You are avoiding the issue.

LOL, what the **** do you think we're discussing? The topic is literally "Sex Abuse in Catholic Church"

You are the one having issues discussing this topic. I think because it hits a bit close to home with you, no?

More deflection and gaslighting. I'll give you one more response.

It is about the report on 'sex abuse' in Illinois by the state's AG.

It is not about LGBTQ issues, priests in dresses, artwork, abuses in the middle ages, current sex abuse, the pope, reparations to abuse victims, or the many other rabbit trails pushed here.

Just as i though, you've got nothing. run along to your church and pray for you sins or something

And it could feed a lot of hungry people if sold.

So what? You would at best feed a tiny portion of “hungry people” one meal and all the greatest art of western civilization would turn to private hands with no access guarantee

But the pope likes to look at them

You’re claiming he doesn’t and you haven’t provided any proof of that claim

Obviously God (of which Jesus is part) had demanded his followers build a temple which was to be adorned with riches and precious medals and incense, the high priest wore a breast plate full of jewels, etc

And these customs were never condemned by Christ on earth.

This is, of course, utterly wrong. Caesar wrote more in The Gallic War than all four "gospels".
