I am a Catholic and won't accept the next pope, nor the organization from the Vatican.

I believed Pope Francis was too pro-Trump. The next anti-pope is going to be servant to Little Nero in Washington, will neither defend the defenseless nor the poor.

The Vatican of the next pope is going to accept payment in donations with money backed by bitcoin or trumpcoins or other 666 technology money.

The next pope - acceptance to Putin or Trump or bitcoin in refusing to take sides or positions. A wishy-washy pope of co-existence with evil. With abortion returning as the only "evil" of the Catholic Church. You are to be a single issue voter: abortion.

Rome was filled with abortions and gays. There were Jewish prostitutes that committed abortion during the era of Jesus. Mary Magdalene was labeled a Jewish prostitute by Pope Gregory, although many disagree she was the repentant woman. There was gay stuff in Rome for centuries. If Jesus wanted to, Jesus could have preached against gays and abortion 24/7.

Worse was what was tolerated, since Jesus was God, Jesus knew this was happening:

Tiberius had a scandalous reputation. He was a sexual predator (Dio, 58.22) who used his power to secure access to girls and boys. Dio parallels his moral failings with his strict enforcement of moral disciplines upon others.

Namely, he trained several-year-old boys to play "fishes". Tiberius went into the water naked, and young boys dived around him and teased his thighs and phallus with teeth. The fun did not only end with biting, but also sucking on the penis of the ruler.

Jesus never mentioned abortion, nor gays. The reference of millstone was about corrupting believers, which is what MTG and Trump do to believers.
