Who, despite being chosen by God, continues to allow atrocities in the church because the politics thwarts him? And then gets too medically ill to continue and resigns?
I can see why people lose faith in the Catholic Church.

Chosen by God?
If the catholic church followed the Bible, they would realize God doesn't pick the pope. Men appointing men do.
And those men are far from perfect. That whole system is full of flaws.
And the main reason why people blow off religion... because most all of it is man made foolishness.
This is coming from a former catholic.

Harris was still at Penn State when I started there. He then shared the spotlight with Lydell Mitchell but shined brightly enough to be a first round draft pick. Interestingly, Harris and Mitchell teamed up again later in life to become business partners.

A very sad day. I was at the Immaculate Reception game. I will never forget that experience, that elation, that bedlam. But Francoâs importance in Steelers history went far beyond even that iconic play. Joe Greene has said the Steelers became the Steelers when Franco arrived. And he was beloved, on and off the field. Francoâs Italian Army is shedding a tear today. As am I.

RIP Franco. Coincidentally, the Raiders and Steelers are playing each other this Saturday - one day after the 50th anniversary of that game.
