How much did that hitler youth pope pay for those shoes, They look very expensive, probaly something a very wealthy sinful person would be wearing. They are f-ing pedophile hypocrites.

So, they do have a point. But for an obscenely wealthy tax-free church (not to mention the obscenely wealthy pastors of megachurchs) shows hypocrisy at its finest.
