“It is very important that there is this meeting, this meeting between men and women, because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which cancels out differences,” the pope said during an audience with members of the French-based academic organization Research and Anthropology of Vocations Institute (CRAV).

He's demanding that everyone conform to his narrow worldview... in the name of preserving our differences?

That's some impressive mental gymnastics, even for a Pope.

For example, https://theconversation.com/the-french-revolution-executed-royals-and-nobles-yes-but-most-people-killed-were-commoners-200455 which cites this book https://www.amazon.com/Incidence-Terror-During-French-Revolution/dp/0844612111 (unavailable online as far as I can tell.)

I'd also highly recommend Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast series on the French Revolution.

It's worth pointing out that the guillotine was primarily used to terrorize the poor commoners, not nobles (who had already fled the country by that point.)

Wait a minute, they will have had had color photography for centuries by 2267. And giant monster attacks will have had not happened for decades, have hadn't they?

The Christians gave Him Sunday, the Jews gave Him Saturday, and the Muslims gave Him Friday. God has a three-day weekend.

I wonder if the sender will do their federal and state sentences concurrently or consecutively.

She's not being attacked for the crimes of her son, though. She's being criticized as a hypocrite.

Code of Honor anyone?

And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn’t make them hypocrites?

That's exactly what it makes them. By the Biblical definition of a hypocrite. Jesus literally talks about what that means.

"A faction emerged within the (Republican) party characterized by hate and divisiveness, overshadowing the principles the party once held dear," Osborn said in a statement. "We should rise above spewing hate and legislating condemnation for every citizen who does not look like us, vote like us worship like us or identify or love like us."

Oh, bullshit. That's exactly who and what you are. That's why you joined the party. That's why you haven't left it. You're not fooling anyone.
