    MT was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction. And she was a friend to the worst of the rich.

      But you will never convince the majority of Catholics of that. If I tried to explain that to my sister and her husband, who are extreme right wing Catholics, they might physically attack me.

        I’ll bet they want to put a hit out on the pope too….

          I haven’t asked them for their opinion of him, but I know they can’t be happy about his attitude to gays and abortion (an abomination, according to them).

            I wouldn’t be surprised

        Fundie Catholics, the worst of the bunch.

          And he’s a convert, which is like an ex-smoker.

        It always drops my jaw at how positively convinced they are over these myths.

        It seems their brains shut down when you try to introduce reason into the conversation, so I just ask “if Jesus cured a blind person, why didn’t he just cure blindness?

    On the subject of miracles, if god can perform a miracle in order to get a saint canonized, that means he is deliberately not performing miracles to cure other people, including children, of horrible, terminal illnesses. That’s the Christians’ loving god. Very selective in whom he loves.

    Phony as heck. There are no ‘miracles’. Trickery, delusions, ignorance yes, but no miracles.

      If God were constantly suspending the laws of physics, then God could not hold people accountable for their actions because the consequences of those actions would be unpredictable. In order to have accountability, the physical universe has to behave in a consistent manner. Therefore, the more miracles you have, the less accountability you have.

      • bpollen November 20th, 2015 at 02:20

        You posit Gawd can alter the laws of physics, but you think that he wouldn’t be able to contain, localize, or even negate broader impacts? Or that Gawd didn’t write a back door into Existence 1.0?

        • Robert M. Snyder November 20th, 2015 at 03:19

          I posited no such thing. My point was that you can’t believe in miracles and accountability at the same time. I never said that miracles exist. Personally, I don’t believe in miracles.

          • bpollen November 20th, 2015 at 05:23

            “If God were constantly suspending the laws of physics…”

            Your own words betray you. In order for the rest of your sentence to makes sense or have any context, you have to posit capabilities of Gawd. Which you did. If A, then B. You have to posit the A before you can then reach a conclusion (B) based on the existence of A.

            And miracles and accountability are not mutually exclusive. The very fact that something is a miracle means it is out of the ordinary. That would mean, if they are intrinsically opposite, that the ordinary would be accountability. Since you don’t believe in miracles, then you just tried a thought experiment that fails on its own internal logic.

    As evil a cow as ever was born. Made people suffer because she was miserable herself.

    I wonder how the pope knows she’s in heaven – or if heaven even exists?

    The canonization of saints has been BS since forever.
