These fundamental myths of the conservative ideology has infected Christianity to the point that they people in them no longer believe in the lefty Jesus values of helping the poor and needy. Selfishness is the racist value that has infected these fundamental churches which the Pope has now had to confront by a massive change in the numerous new cardinals he has promoted.

I will try to pay attention more to this Pope. He recently did remove a Cardinal: Arizona??? He is also not in good health. Wouldn't it be tragic, if the Church is just as vulnerable to factionalism as any mundane institution, and the next Pope decides God's hatred of all females forever for the sake of Eve is the rule?

Look to Pope Pious IX to see where the conservative church stands. It is not a pretty picture.

There is more than one Jesus. There is the Jesus of Matthew and the Jesus of Luke

The Jesus of turn the other cheek and the tale of the good Samaritan and Sermon on the Mount

And the Jesus of Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me

The Jesus of Luke 22:36 - Sell Your Cloak to Buy a Sword

Those who would use their god as a sock puppet have excuses and rationalizations as if they could read the mind of their god. Charlatans all, but the simple mind fall in line

For their Jesus said: Be like little children. And of course children are vulnerable, credulous, gullible and ripe prey for mental predators.
