Pope Francis on Saturday dismissed Bishop Joseph E. Strickland of Tyler, Texas, one of his fiercest critics among U.S. Roman Catholic conservatives, after he refused to step down following a Vatican investigation.
The Pope calling it like it is. Christian conservative leaders in the US are way to focused on politics instead of their faith and the spiritual well being of their parish.
Religion is a system to execute control over uninformed and ignorant masses.
Which is why many big religions have been in significant decline in the past 100 years thanks to education efforts.
Which is why the religious are getting more involved in politics, and more involved in extreme, right wing politics, because thats where the most gullible peasantry is, and its from that they can steal the most power for themselves.
Its one of the big reasons why you see the right wing hating on education and the educated all the time.

Not like the pope doesn’t dabble in politics every once in a while…
Every single thing is political. Feeding the homeless is political. Killing murderers is political. Raising children is political.
Stop. Just … stop. EVERYTHING is political because ANYTHING can be made in to a law.
Religion is just a glorified book club though. Feels like we should’ve drawn the line there a while ago.
