The WORST Pope EVER! w/ Jimmy Akin 

I would do anything to be able to play through the Ezio Trilogy for the first time again

My immediate thoughts went to AC Brotherhood when he said Borgia

@@holdenedwards I had only played the newer AC and when I heard the first ones were way better I went to my local nerd store and bought a great condition ps3 and a couple old AC games for like $100 lol

Sadly enough when I saw the title of the video I thought of Assassins Creed 2 and Brotherhood hahaha

I played all 3 Ezio games but wasn't able to complete a single one LOL.

With your rosary.......just like the pagans.

@@jsharp9735 Hope you have a Happy Friday!

@@JohnHenrysaysHi Nothing shakes faith in mystery Babylon for the true believers ! You too !

Good point. However, the source not being neutral (and some would allege that no source can be neutral) wouldn't be enough to dismiss everything that source has to say on a particular subject. It does call for more "due diligence", like looking for sources that contradict the first one and evidence for/against each claim, preferably from yet other sources and even better if any evidence can be confirmed/refuted by objective, tangentially related facts. Just sharing my two cents.

Pope Alexander VI - at least in his defense of the temporal interests of the Church - was one of the greatest and most successful popes of all time. Years ago, I wrote a series of posts about him, trying to put him in a positive light. I learned more information after writing them, and I changed opinions, and I became an even bigger admirer of him. Last year, I went on a sort of pilgrimage to Valencia, Xàtiva, and Gandía. ❤ One day, I will finish revising that series, this time probably just into one big post.

@@MatthewOlson This is fascinating. Do you have a link to it?

Benedict probably viewed the papacy as more of a powerful political office than a holy office. He was 20 when his dad installed him as pope, lost the office in a military conflict; regained it in a counter offensive; sold it to his relative to marry his cousin; then regretted his decision and got it back and died at 43.

We pray but the laity needs clarity, so ok to speak up & seek clarification. Souls at stake. This is no game. .

There are two

The Pope cannot teach heresy, is not related to the way they behave. A golden coin passed through dirty hands does not reduce its value

I am an evangelical who doesn’t believe the pope is legitimate leader of the church,but I believe they do hold the position that their edicts and writings are infallible, not their behaviors. Papists are still wrong to follow him, just an easy straw man to be confused about for non-romanists.

Not even close

Childish. The Roman Catholic church and the Western Europe gone through countless horrible Popes, Roman purges, Pagan massacres, Islamic invasion, Mongolian invasion were the Christian world was almost eliminated, countless corrupt clergy, bishops, The Schism and the Protestant movement where it led to numerous sectarian violence and wars... Yet, the Catholic church survived more than 2 thousands years. The most influencial religion in history and the prime force that shaped the modern world, that even other, much older religions would constantly compare itself and adjust itself to it, but never the other way around. And is still Is the most fastest growing Religion today with more convert that are still unaccounted.

By comparison Pope Francis is on the way to sainthood! Read some history on the papacy. lol

You're one hundred percent correct​@@TrixRN

What a disgusting thing to say, would you talk about your father like that?

lmao

So ambiguity is worse than buying the papacy, believing in Christian mortalism, promiscuity, violence, etc. 😂 Get ur head on straight RT/Sede

Correct.

Incorrect.

​@CatholicDefender-bp7my that sounds like something a cult member would say. This is the kind of unquestioning attitude that leads to never ending abuse scandals.

​@p.doetsch6209 really? Please feel free to make your point.

​​@@davidmascarenas9830It's not an argument. It's a statement of fact. You have no Authority.

​@p.doetsch6209 no authority? It elementary logic. The kind of ideas you are now pushing are cult-like. This is the kind of thinking that leads to world-wide child abuse scandals.

Only if you think that Peter’s papacy had begun before Christ’s death.

@@bethmcmullan7686ohh nice, depend on the hermeneutics, you are both right.

@@bethmcmullan7686peters primacy amongst the apostles begins when he received the keys to the kingdom in Matthew 16:18-19

I’m not sure Peter’s sin, from which he sincerely repented, is worse than the remorseless corruption of other popes. To claim so is to not have an understanding of God’s grace, in my opinion.

St. Peter wasn't pope when he denied Jesus. And his repentance was almost immediate. You can't judge a papal reign by something that was done before it began, no matter how egregious.

Ok, heretic. What's a horrible sin is Apostasy from the Faith.

@@p.doetsch6209 not apostasy from a religion that blesses gay couples. You should follow Christ, not a religion that spits in God’s face

@@elijeremiah1058 Lol, yes I'll listen to you! How could I not have realized it sooner? Who are you again? An Apostate like Martin Luther before you?

@@p.doetsch6209 Show me in the Bible where it says the Church can bless gay couples.

​@@elijeremiah1058Show where in Scripture it is called the "Bible". You are a hypocrite.

Just become Orthodox

We get the religious leaders we deserve.

Not close

How is he worse than the Popes mentioned here. lol

@@Nicolas-tf1ub I think many feel that way, because we live & breath in a world of mass communication (phone, tv, news, internet, social media ... The mass of confusion gets around the world in seconds, and we don't have the leadership #s and dedication to correct & clarify.
