If the commissioner (or equivalent head position) of a police department was corrupt, would you argue the rest of the department was fine?

He does not represent all catholic lay people who have their own views, they are not automatons.
There is a reason the Anglican church exists. Which is basically catholic without the Pope, without the guilt, and without the excessive central control. ( think more symbolic and less actual )
And lastly, if a person wants to, they can find liberal organized religion these days with very little effort. "All may, none must, some should." You they want less organized religion? go for it. There are many ways to the divine. Atheism is certainly one way to the divine*.
oh come on, just because the Pope is a quisling does not make the rest of us bad.
First off, he hardly represents all catholics who have their own views, they are not automatons.
And 2ndly, there is a reason the Anglican church exists. Which is basically catholic without the Pope, without the guilt, and without the excessive central control. ( think more symbolic and less actual )
I cannot believe I find myself defending a ffing Pope of all things.That's not the correct usage of that term I'm afraid. The pope is Polish. Represents the Vatican only. He can't sell out Ukraine - only insult their dignity, sacrifices, and desire to live apparently. Pretending the killing and war stops at a surrender is such a disconnect from reality I can't believe he went there. I can hear Ukrainians embracing atheism from here in the States.
He is literally the head of the Catholic Church. Sounds like he represents it to me. I suppose all catholics will sound less like silent automatons once they start condemning that kind of talk en masse, no? Can't wait.
Sorry, your Anglicans have absolutely nothing to do the pope's appalling display of support for genocidal fascism.
It is not that he is selling out his country.That's not the correct usage of that term I'm afraid.
Point of order: the pope is not Polis
That's not the correct usage of that term I'm afraid. The pope is Polish.....
And General Teplinsky apparently. The location was given up by captured Kadyrovites apparently.Reportedly this strike killed a well known Russian war blogger.

Edit: seems the story is confusing... the war blogger "13" was shot by Kadyrovites. So I am not sure how the destroyed ship got involved with "13".
That would make four knockouts of what, like 8 total birds? Well done.
And you can add NK production on top of what Russia can churn out.Russia is preparing to die much further west than Ukraine.
All they need to succeed is US's continued withdrawal from the world stage.
Russia has more bodies than Europe has ammo.
Russia producing three times more artillery shells than US and Europe combined
Russia is producing about 250,000 artillery munitions per month, or about 3 million a year, according to NATO intelligence estimates of Russian defense production shared with CNN, as well as sources familiar with Western efforts to arm Ukraine. Collectively, the US and Europe have the capacity to generate only about 1.2 million munitions annually to send to Kyiv, a senior European intelligence official told CNN.The US military set a goal to produce 100,000 rounds of artillery a month by the end of 2025 — less than half of the Russian monthly output — and even that number is now out of reach with $60 billion in Ukraine funding stalled in Congress
Maybe Germany is still mentally shattered from WW2. And Russian occupation for half a century.All this German noise about their Taurus missile. I'm beginning to think that it doesn't work or not well.
