Malheur à vous, curés et évêques parce que vous faites l'aumône pour montrer aux hommes votre justice, et que vous laissez ce qui est plus important aux yeux du Dieu, honorer le Fils, écouter ses Paroles, les appliquer.
Ambulanciers aveugles ! qui roulez pour le Fourbe et fauchez les pauvres en les escroquant dans vos cultes.
Comme à mon Maitre vous me dites : mais nous voyons clair; et c'est à cause de cela que votre péché subsiste.

Le Vatican a été exclu de la liste des droits de douane par Trump, alors que l'Italie est soumise au taux de 20 % de l'UE. C'est le moment d'enfiler une chasuble les amis! Ca me rappelle le super animé "Popetown" que je regardais en rentrant du lycée sur MCM 
Avec des cardinaux corrompus et un pape psychopathe. "Pecunia non olet", l'argent n'a pas d'odeur... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfhDUYifiIw

A new essay examines two views on Christian origins, suggesting that early Christian belief in Jesus' resurrection predates the Jewish-Roman War, supporting the historical credibility of the Gospels. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/03/30/world/the-jesus-of-history/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #jesus #religion #vatican #christianity #catholicchurch
