Let's hear him out, so far I am liking what he's throwing down.
Seems Francis kinda personally lined him up so here’s hoping
Francis stacked the deck by appointing 80% of the voting population.
Apparently Francis was not really stacking the deck much, he appointed both progressives and conservatives. He did improve the geographical spread of the cardinals though.
I love this, I hope it turns out JD Vance is possessed by demons or something
:crosses fingers: cmon, say Musk is the Antichrist, he wants it, we all kinda wanna see how it plays out...
No, it would be Trump that's the antichrist.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Because Trump is worshipped as a false idol. Musk really doesn't check any of the antichrist boxes.
"TWO of The Antichrist?! What is this, a black Friday sale?"
Like this?
His wiki had some issues, but if not even 24 hours later he's already shitting on Trump and co....well.....imperfect allies and all that
we know this from social media posts as Cardinal on past months
he isn't taking any visits from JD Vance neither
100% of popes who talk to Vance die within 24 hours.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. It could actually be much, much worse.
Yeah, we could see it as bad as 200% of popes in 24 days
What if they start dying before they meet JD?
that just makes his job easier
Death gave vance the ability reap souls.
Vance killed the last Pope. Let’s hope he does not take a visit from Vance.
Fuck yeah, off to a good start.
I was nervous when it was announced he was from the USA.
You had to wonder if this was one of the reasons they chose to very quickly elect an American pope with ties to South America and Europe.
Yes.
This is what he said in the past.
We are essentially in that situation right now.
I know someone who loves Trump and is very Catholic. This will be fun.
If they're anything like my grandmother, who was a devout Catholic, they'll say the Pope needs to mind his own business.
Wasn't there a whole contigent of catholics that explicitly said the last pope was illegitimate? I figure they'll just keep playing that same tune until it's someone that's as shitty as they are. Then the same process that was "broken" before will suddenly be perfectly fine.
There's a conspiracy theory that every Pope has been illegitimate since 1958. The reasoning is pretty dumb, but I'll put it out here:
I'm not Catholic, but I can see the fallacy there.
Interesting enough, the sedevacantists think the entire line after 1958 are pure antipopes, there's a splinter group of sedeprivationists, who think like you said: the post-1958 line can regain legitimacy once they renounce the so-called heresy.
cult /kŭlt/ noun
Is the catholic church really a cult or are you just being an edge lord?
In France, we literally call freedom of religion "freedom of cult" sometimes (and "freedom of conscience" some other times). I think it's weird how different the connotations of "cult" and "religion" are nowadays. Too many people don't realize that dictionaries record how words are used, they don't define what they mean.
Religion has been really good at carving out exceptions to hide their batshittery.
You believe in a crazy man that pisses vodka and walks on lava? You're a crazy delusional man!
You get a million people to believe your horseshit, wait a minute, respect this man's religion!
So yea, they are both cults, both would be classified as mental illnesses if, again, they didn't carve out exemptions for religion.
I would have used a definition that mentions size/scale of the organization if I wanted to refute them, tbh.
No true Scotsman
This is Public Relations from a billion dollar+ corporation known as the catholic church. Nothing more.
They still cover up for rapist priests. They still spew hate from their holy hate book. Still anti LGBT. Still want to force your children into their bullshit hate religion. Still interferes in your politics to make sure you don't have a say.
Fuck religion. Fuck this pope. Fuck his supporters.
I was thinking he was going to be on trumps side since hes an american, GLADLY willing to be wrong.
Trump will soon nominate himself the pope for America.
Take a page out of Henry VIII's book and make his own church with blackjack and hookers.
MAGA are basically a religion with Trump as their prophet, might as well make it official
And get that tax exampt status
As he should. MAGAts are the worst of us.
So go visit El Salvador, first thing.
Legend.
I've seen enough trump photoshopping recently. Does anyone have the photoshop skills to show us this new pope backhand bitchslapping trump over the top of sofa?
Bonus points if couch fucker is in the corner of the frame doing his thing...
I will keep my opinions of the catho church if this keeps going.
