Well, I think they should have elected me. But since they didn't, I guess I will just go forward with my retirement plans!
Not all homicides are evil.
Murder is a legal construct. Specifically it is an illegal homicide. You have to accept that the law gets it right 100% of the time to accept that all murders are bad. I'm not to willing give the law that level of infallibility.
Would charitable contributions to an organization that kills innocent people be good?
Not so...
None of us can so much as share a fart with one another...
What does sharing farts have to do with morality, and how on earth does that thought cross someone's mind?
If the intent is good. If you don't know your money is going to kill people, but you believe that you are giving money charitably for a good cause, then you're doing good.
So then if the intent is then the charitable contribution is bad is it not?

Huh?
...
Dropped a word or two. Apologies.
So if the intent of the contributor is evil then the charitable contribution is similarly evil?
Like I have said many times..........I don't worship the Church...I worship Jesus Christ and so does every Catholic I know.
Are you saying murder could possibly be good, and charity could be evil?
It's almost all subjective.
I've just read this article about Pope Francis saying Mass next Thursday in a prison for young offenders. I like it. Pope Francis breaks the mould again with ceremony at prison instead of St Peter's - Telegraph
And when is he going to start turning over pedophile priests to the authorities? Think he's going to break that mold too? Me either.
I know you don't want to miss even an itty-bitty opportunity, but you're a little over-eager here. The man's held the job for only 8 days, LOL. How about you give him, oh, a couple of weeks to, you know, get through Holy Week and set up his household and unpack?
I happen to be optimistic. Saint Francis felt that he had a command from Jesus to clean His house, and perhaps this is one reason Bergoglio chose "Francis" as his name.
I'm sure that when he's been in office for 10 years, we'll still be wondering when he's going to turn over every single last one of the pedophile priests that Benedict left him records on. I hope you're right, I'm just not holding my breath.

That's just it--you don't hope I'm right; you fervently hope I'm wrong and have already made up your mind.
They ought to stop electing old guys.
And you say that based on what evidence?
