Had to look it up too. >

Ah yes, the Ayatollah will really care about the opinion of the Catholic head of faith, lol. >

That's not the point. If he kept his mouth shut on the matter, then more people would question the Pope's silence. >

A guy wearing a golden cross denouncing the death penalty is pretty funny.

a golden cross

Doesn't count: it wasn't a death, it was a "time out". >

Thanks for weighing in, pope. >

Something about the Catholic church condemning the death penalty irritates me to no end.
/edit:  to be clear, I'm referring to them as the most killing institution in the world. Between the 6 or so Crusades, the Inquisitions, the witch trials, the burning of heretics, etc.  Not the most total.  That goes to the Mongol hordes. >

Protestants did most of the witch killing 
The Catholic Church was more about persecuting the Jews, most famously in the Inquisition.
With that one, it was partly that Spain hadn’t “caught up” with the rest of Europe in its persecution of Jews, as it was both embroiled in war with the Muslims over the peninsula, and had found itself with a large population of Jews in newly annexed territories >

only about 4 months late, not that this matters at all >

FUCKTHEPOPE.
FUCKRELIGION. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)


ROME - Pope Francis on Monday broke his silence on the nationwide protests convulsing Iran, denouncing the recourse to the death penalty there and seemingly legitimizing the rallies as demonstrations "Demanding greater respect for the dignity of women."
"The right to life is also threatened in those places where the death penalty continues to be imposed, as is the case in these days in Iran, following the recent demonstrations demanding greater respect for the dignity of women," Francis said.
ADVERTISEMENT. His comments marked his first public remarks about the protests that erupted in Iran in mid-September over the death of Mahsa Amini.

The Catholic church is far more powerful than most (unlike me) realise. They have the ability to deploy elite squads of paladins anywhere on the planet with modern guns and stuff like that. Surgical strikes on remote targets are well within their capabilities. Iran will be weighing their response carefully, knowing what they’re dealing with. >

If we had elite squads of Paladins, the world would know about it. >

yeah they would bubble hearth at the first sign of trouble >

If Russian Christians don't care about the Pope then Iranian Muslims definitely won't. >

Thanks Mr. Pope. We can all rest easier knowing that Iran will stop now… >

Oh no the head of the Catholic church condemned Iran's executions! That will show 'em! >

Pope... that leader of some village? Does anyone take him seriously?
I have never heard of a Christian caring about any popes where I am from. >

They aren't chirstians tho >

Ah so now everyone is realizing how stupid “denouncing” something is. >
