No man can forgive sins…..especially a man who has a hubble type telescope called “lucifer” in the Vatican….this man is satan in the flesh walking around. What he is condoning is in DIRECT opposition to The Most High God. Stop worshipping this evil demon.
No one can absolve you of sin except God. He is not God. HE is the last pope…
Boo boo
He is a swine !

Wth
on God can forgive sins.
i am sorry pope you are not god.
