The Catholic Church, abiding by the egregious misdeeds of monsters in the name of keeping the Holy Coffers filled?

Well, color me shocked.

How can you question this lovable face?

Also this one looks like it’s about 30 seconds before some kind of fucked up Dark Souls boss battle. Borderline nightmare fuel, in my opinion.

And finally, the first time you’ve seen a pope with cold sores probably.

Thank you for joining me.

I don’t understand why it matters what he looks like? Are you implying that someone’s physical appearance is a determining factor in their moral standing?

He’s a former Catholic pope. That he’s an evil piece of shit is pretty much a given. I found it interesting that he also happens to look so villainous, in addition to being so.

Probably not a cold sore, he’s a Catholic after all.

Not to defend a cristian- but coldsores are herpes, it’s just another word for the same thing and there is no specific genital variation of the virus.

And herpes/coldsores are transmissible from sharing cups and kissing and a lot of other forms of direct and indirect contact.

There are several forms of the herpes simplex virus, same virus different expressions (genitalis/labialis etc). Implying the sexually transmitted one was funnier.

Seconded. I’ve thought the Pope’s knowledge and support for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust was common knowledge. Feels like something I’ve known for thirty years, at least.

Maybe I just have a knack for the extremely obvious.
