It has become kinda habit:
Same fucking energy really.
Fair but I still think this one describes that Situation pretty good as well
Did he even say thank you??
up next: supreme court to decide if trump can choose the next pope
Did not have a Henry VIII style split with the church on my bingo card, but let's just get it over with. Can't wait for US Catholics to get the option to openly follow their one true religion: Cheap, poorly managed, failing attempts at white American hegemony and hate.
One thing I really think the he should have done more was criticize the American version of Christianity. It's divorced so much even from Protestantism that it should be called out. That one of the candidates to replace him is from the Philippines it will hopefully throw a wrench into the more racist aspects of it.
Can we start gambling on who the American Pope is going to be? My money is on Andrew Tate.
breaking news: trump has just anointed hulk hogan as the next pope
MY BROTHERRRR IN CHRIST
Catch me in Avignon with the nWo. Mick Foley died several times for our sins
Pope, why don't you wear a suit?
"Don't you have a suit, old man?"
Why does Vance always look like somone's shitty slenderman fanart?
Now that I see it, I'm having a tough time unseeing it.
Thanks
Vwoop
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! The day is young and the meme train has just begun.
No shot, is the pope actually dead? Is this how I find out?
Yup. He worm food now
Which one? The couch or the child fucker?
There has to be some kind of anti-christ meme in there somewhere.
No one survives an encounter with the grim reaper not even the pope.
Man I'm gonna miss him. Dude was a damn legend and the stuff he accomplished was nothing short if amazing.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Religion is poison.
Yeah, any statement like that must be qualified: he seemed like a decent person; for a religious leader.
Sure, if you ignore the centuries of medical, mathematical and scientific research religion directly caused. From Islamic scholars to Catholic scientists who discovered genetics and concepts like the big bang. Don't worry, you'll grow up one day and realize the purpose of religion isn't so black and white.
Isn't that discriminatory against religious identities?
Like what?
I'm just going to ramble so sorry if it's a little incoherent.
One of the most progressive popes in recent memory. He continuously stayed in touch with the parishioners in Gaza and continously spoke out against the genocide, even on his deathbed he kept in touch with them, he encouraged Marxists and Catholics by becoming the first pope to outright acknowledge the similarities in Marxism and Christianity (doing so many times over the years), he replaced about 80% of the current cardinals with ones more progressive like he, hopefully solidifying his message and became the first ever pope to apologize and start to reconcile the relationships with the indengeious Canadians and what the church did to them with residential schools.
He encouraged unity between the Catholic and Orthodox churches, by working out and having both churches celebrate easter for the first time since the schism over 1000 years ago, helping to mend the churches possibly even more so than Ecumenism. He was one of the only public figures actually talking about the genocide in Darfur.
He was a proponent of LGBT peoples in the church. Definitely not on the same level as some progressive but he was the first pope to allow a LGBT+ advocacy group (Jonathan’s Tent) and give them spotlight, even giving them their own events in the calendar, also changing the direction of the church's opinion on the LGBT community.
He was quite often criticized by conservatives as a socialist and Marxist but really he was just following the doctrine. He also had views on refugees and migrants that I can't recall exactly right now. With regards to the sexual abuse scandals that rocked the church in the 90s (rip Sinead o' Connor), he toughened the canon law to further go after the priests responsible. I recall he either fired or excommunicated some priests involved in the scandal but I can't recall atm. Imo, he should have gone farther on it but it was as a start.
I think he should have railed a little harder against the American televangelists and the American tradcath movement but there are Christian groups doing that on their own (like the Trinity Foundation). He wasn't perfect by all means. There were homes demolished during his visit in Timor-Leste and people displaced and he excommunicated Carlo Maria Viganò but when comparing him against the previous popes he left behind a tremendous legacy.
He is also the only pope to release a prog rock album.
He was very progressive by catholic standards
He reintated dialogue woth other religions woth some rare ecumenic traditions. Gave some vote and new postions for womennever seen before but not all what was asked from him. He was very active durning the pandemic, more then offering prayers but offering real help. He was like "yes pray but do what the doctors say too". Still he bailed out some fuckers but went hard on others so IDK, and also has some debatable past with the Argeninian dictatorship regime of the 70s.
He tried to make the church more welcoming to all and less corrupt, you can have your opinions about it if worked or not but at leas was clearly different than his predecessors. This is a veedry boiled down version for sure if you want to have a better opinion there's plenty on the internet to read about him.
Is JD Vance one of the Anti Vaxxer bunch? Because if i was an old man hit by measles, tuberculosis and Covid at the same time i would also kick the bucket.
His military induction would’ve required a pile of vaccines if they weren’t up to date already.
Ordering a dozen communion wafers. How long have you worked here?
Ope, there goes the Pope
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product They moved on to the next schmoe who flows He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah-dah-dah
not body shaming but vance looks really weird
"I'm part of the church!!!"
"Huh. Don't recognize you."
OK. Hi. So hope long have you worked here.
Who is this weird little person who keeps showing up in memes?
James Donald Bowman is a deviant and a pope killer.
And I will deadname him in every thread I read about him.
Damn it JD, you did something good for once.
