I could be mistaken, and this is just my interpretation, but i
suspect the meaning behind it was more that if a all powerful
deity does actually exist as some believe, if it allows the
atrocities committed against many of the pets that require the
need for a shelter at all, then the deity is not so 'wonderful'
after all, and in fact, heartless evil incarnate themselves, and
deserves no respect, let alone worship.
Some religions (in fact, MANY religions) solve the issue by declaring their deity (or deities) are outright imperfect. Zoroastran example: their god is Universally benevolent but not almighty, which is the reason why the bad guys can sometimes screw things up if we humans don't do our part to help.
And, nothing of value was lost.
I assume you're talking about the "pope" and I agree.
The roman catholic "church" is an insulting mockery of Christianity, and this last "pope" was a communist socialist heretic. And a jerk. He won't be missed.
I've heard, however, that he also packed the College of Cardinals with people just like him, so it would be ill advised to expect an improvement. In any case, at the rate Europe is going, Rome will fall in less than 20 years, so they'd better just bulldoze the vatican before it gets repurposed by another religion. I think they should build a nuclear power plant on the site.
Yes. However not for the same reasons you state. But same end result.

Hopefully the cardinals elect Cardinal Robert Sarah; at least then the Catholic church will not be a thorn in the side of conservatism.

It would be a shame if the Vatican was overtaken, because they have lots of artistic items and buildings that pack a cultural impact.
I think I have already mentioned my grandmother has a bunch of Christian pieces of art in her basement, which were taken in a hurry from a Chruch just before it was overtaken. The problem is there isonly so much you can take with you when the barbarians show up.
