I am in my mid thirties and every pope within my lifetime has been the woke Pope and it has never been true, I'm not falling for this shit and neither should anybody else
agreed but this site can be really fuckin weird about catholicism. it and traditional english peasant cuisine seem to inspire some of the weirdest struggle sessions.
I can only speak for myself, but I grew up evangelical and the worst bigots I knew hated Catholics for being mostly non-white and constantly implied that they were cryptopagans who worshipped saints.
Anti-Catholic (as opposed to general anti-religious, or even anti-Christian) sentiment will probably always trip my "This person might be a radical right wing prosperity gospelist" alarms.
ya definitely not saying protestants or orthodox are any better in the vast majority of cases and I’m unfortunately also familiar with those know-nothing type brainworms. I’m also unfortunately familiar with the many, many catholics, many white but by no means all, who really suck so you can comfortably put me in the anti religion camp, most especially the christian formations but I’m generally not in love with any universalizing religion w socially conservative characteristics especially when not under the influence of a Party in power a la Cuba
Francis is like Socdem, but he doesn't have much longer to live, let's see who the next pope is. Colossal religious institutions like the Catholic Church, with its immense wealth and a strong conservative wing, should not be allowed a foothold in any Socialist country.
Well, that's not what the pope is saying when people ask him about it
Asked by CBS News what he would advise a Catholic voter forced to choose between a candidate who backs abortion rights and one who has said he would have 11 million migrants deported, the pope said: "They are both against life — the one who throws away migrants and the one who kills children."
Francis also reiterated the Catholic Church's position that abortion is murder.
"Whether you like the word or not, it is a killing," he said. "It is an assassination, and on this we should be clear."
It should be permanent "dude, fuck the pope" because regardless what he says, that does not have any consequence, he's just an empty baloon or a monkey with typewriter that just by the sheer accident says something not horrible once in a while.
