They are just letting him say stuff, huh

CIA too washed these days to get past the Swiss Guard

Plus Catholic Joe Biden knows he's gonna die soon so he figues he has a better shot of getting into heaven if he doesn't try to influence the Pope.

[โ€“] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 55 points 2 months ago (7 children)

He also came out and said both presidential candidates fucking suck.

The catholic pendulum on hexbear once more swings towards "Pope's okay". Can't wait to see what news comes when it swings the other direction

[โ€“] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 50 points 2 months ago

no he's only okay for a pope, a bar which is in hell

[โ€“] buckykat@hexbear.net 43 points 2 months ago

Never forget that the pope is head of a worldwide child abuse ring with national sovereignty.

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

[โ€“] HamManBad@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

The best antichrist of my lifetime

[โ€“] CommCat@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

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.

Miiiiight be important to note that the pope doesn't like Kamala because he thinks abortion is murder

[โ€“] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

No it's the Palestinian genocide bit

[โ€“] jaywalker@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 โ€” 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."

Hexbear Catholic caucus is eating good as always.

[โ€“] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago

I love it, because I know some incredibly awful catholic weirdos and it gives me joy he pisses them off.

[โ€“] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Why is he speaking on what looks like a bus or airplane?

[โ€“] neroiscariot@hexbear.net 63 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is the Pope as in-flight entertainment not good enough for you? You sound like a Cathar.

[โ€“] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The airline version of The Pope is weird cause they dub ovwr the swears

the edited-out sex scenes raise more questions than answers tbh

[โ€“] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Pope: What is the DEEal with airplane food? God made manah fall from the Heavens and we can't even bring up a decent steak, am I right? Lent is over fellas, don't make me break out the communion wafers

[โ€“] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

Church budget is down these days, gotta save a few bucks

[โ€“] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Itโ€™s like when the president does a press briefing on Air Force One

[โ€“] edge@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"TradCaths" are probably raging.

Hilarious how they either don't believe in or sometimes don't even know one of Catholicism's main tenants, Papal supremacy.

[โ€“] Zuzak@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Technically that only applies to statements made ex cathedra, the pope can say whatever he wants on and Catholics can disagree with him, so long as he's not sitting on his special chair.

[โ€“] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 47 points 2 months ago (2 children)

tbf I'll believe anything anyone says if they're sitting on this bad boy

How does he get on?

[โ€“] Zuzak@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

What I wanna know is why Games Workshop hasn't sued the Catholic Church for so blatantly ripping off Warhammer 40k.

[โ€“] edge@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

On one hand that sounds like hilarious cope, on the other hand it sounds exactly like the kind of arcane rules the Catholic Church would have.

[โ€“] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago (2 children)

ex cathedra literally means "out [from] the chair" but it's a figurative statement that just means "speaking as the holder of this position rather than as a private individual"

[โ€“] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

"official acts" by a president vs personal acts

[โ€“] egg1918@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait so a cathedral is just a church with a big chair for like official church statements?

[โ€“] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

Cathedrals are named for having such chairs, yes.

[โ€“] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

He's only God's handpicked representative on Earth when he's on his special chair, otherwise he's just a sparkling priest

"China is a country"
:pope: solidarity :degaulle:

[โ€“] Yor@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

๐Ÿ“ฃ he's still transphobic!

[โ€“] Boredom@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (4 children)
[โ€“] robinnist@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I donโ€™t think so

[โ€“] Yor@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Boredom@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Point is that the pope is probably more chill with how China handles the issue than how liberal democracies do. It's weird

[โ€“] Deinonychus@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is Xi explicitly transphobic, or transphobic in more of a "Say nothing about trans people and do nothing to improve their rights" way?

[โ€“] robinnist@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I don't think he's personally said anything about trans people but China has been improving wrt trans rights and most of the things reported on as "anti-LGBTQ+ crackdowns" in China have been nonsense.

[โ€“] Fishroot@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

the catholic church is trying to get into the growing Christian population in China

[โ€“] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

Is he moonlighting as a flight attendant?

[โ€“] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago
[โ€“] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Never missed.
