See the video here. The Pope did not say it is better to be an atheist than a hypocritical Catholic. See it for yourself.

Thank you Papi for the endorsement.
You understand us very well.

Unfortunately, he didn't endorse you. He only said those behaviours of hypocritical catholics are only appropriate for atheists. Compare his statement with this scripture,note the bolded:


 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.6  Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. - Ephesians 5:3-6
Who are the disobedients? Atheist!

If you are an atheist and do good, isn't it simple reasoning that you are more useful to the society than a catholic who is into all those vices. I agree with my Pope if he actually meant this.

Until 1517 it was the only form of Christianity, perhaps all those who lived and died before Luther are in hell because they "weren't chistians"? I'm sure this statement would have made sense to you but it doesn't cos it's coming from a Catholic, the Pope, No? .... Open your mind.
Lies from the pit of hell. Pls kip the history of Catholicism apart from Christianity. Later some idiots will tell me Apostle Peter was the first Bishop of Rome; Peter who never stepped on the soil of Rome. Meanwhile, do you still have indulgences for sale? Guess that is/was a Christian practice?

The man that can communicate with monkeys... You engaged to the point of throwing insults which I have received and dished out in my four (4) years of training at the Academy. I tell all my Catholic friends same thing, and I don't care what you feel cos the truth comes first. I don come with my market again.

It was because you weren't communicating that I checked your profile and discovered you are a monkey. Only monkeys understand what other monkeys say. Keep ranting about your dislike for catholicism on nairaland, your fellow monkeys may understand you. One thing I am definitely sure of is, no serious minded catholic will. Bye-bye.

your type are the kind I love to engage in theological and apologetic battle. . I have seen ur kind eating the humble pie when their defence can't stand. Even archeology excavation affirm Peter crucified in present day Vatican Hill, In Rome. Go and read Eusebius' Ecclesiastical history of the 4th cent. Written well before the canonicity of the Bible. As early as the 2nd cent, Theologians and martyrs like St. Iraneaus of Lyons and St Justin Martyr already have account of lists of popes with St. Peter as first. Yes we understand the word pope is not found in Bible, so are many words, like "bible", Ascension, Incarnation, Trinity to mention but a few. But the context of Pope or its role first muted by Jesus in Matt 16. And in Acts when Peter spoke for the Apostles

There is nothing like misrepresentation, he said the truth the way it is. The life of some Christians of these days is very disgusting to core simply because God is a merciful God. If only God would start treating Christians as it was done in old testament, I bet you their brains would be formatted by force.

Religion is so full of contradiction.

You are expected to believe in a Life after Death, yet nobody has died & come back ( with hard evidence, not claims)

And ... Judgement Day is always near. No one can say confidently when it is. That's rather convenient

I practice as well... but the whole thing just seems a scam at times grin

You're at the brink of joining the growing atheist community. Watch it. Let's employ absolute faith in religion. Trust me, there are lots of things in religion that when taken from the logical perspective makes little sense.
If the Son of man comes will he find faith?

Below is what has been declared by Vatican Councils and in their Cathachism:
“We define that the Holy Apostolic See and the Roman Pontiff hold primacy over the whole world.” (34)
“All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that he is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope .” (35)
“No one may possess the books of the Old and New Testaments in the Romance language (such as French, Italian, Spanish, etc.), and if anyone possesses them he must turn them over to the local bishop within eight days after the promulgation of this decree, so that they may be burned.” (36)
“The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth …by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself on earth.” (37)
“We confess that the Pope has power of changing Scripture and of adding to it, and taking from it according to his will.” (38)
