Church of Satan under this pope.
Only God the father can forgive murder.
he is worthless
Thinks he’s God now?
No priests can grant absolution
That’s like saying a priest can allow you into Gods kingdom
No, no priests can grant absolution or allow you into Gods kingdom
The only priest that can allow you into Gods kingdom is the soulless child
Not the pope or any priest on this planet has the power to do that
POS

idiot
wow, who gave him authority to decide who can be forgiven and who can not????? NO MAN CAN FORGIVE SIN,ONLY GOD CAN FORGIVE SIN. This man has the audacity to pretend to be one who is all powerful.
God forgives sin .
