    Good. I’m an indigenous person who has plenty of relatives who suffered under church run schools. This pope was nothing but a PR figurehead, down vote me all you want but my native brown ass is finished worshiping your popes and colonial religion.

    I will take down votes with pride, it’s not new for me to get shit on for refusing to bow to this colonial, religious idiocy

      I understand the abhorrent history of church run schools, but what did Pope Francis, specifically, do to garner such hatred from you? He’s been the most liberal pope we’ve ever had? Celebrating the previous popes death, I get, but Francis?

      I’m surprised there’s not a bigger anti-Christian movement among the various colonized cultures, to be honest.

        A lot of them adopted Christianity and made their own version. Few are Catholic, mostly just Latin America it seems.

        Christianity adopted and adapted a lot of local religions and traditions when it spread outside the Roman Empire, so really it’s only fair that people adapt Christianity to their own cultures.
