I think she really believes this stuff.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

The "private" chatroom from a while ago seems to indicate that, indeed, they believe their own shit. It would be worrying to have these people in position of great power, wouldn't it?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 4 hours ago

This is the least inexplicable shit to barf out her word hole. A lot of branches on the Protestant tree hate the Catholic Church and always have.

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 26 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

She strikes me as someone who says controversial things to remain relevant.

Reminds me of one we had over here, I intentionally don't remember her name but like Piers Morgan but less relevant.

Always chuckle at went on TV saying she hates people calling their children after places.... and her daughter was called India.

She was a Qanon wine mom YouTuber prior to her political career, so yeah, you are 100% correct.

American Christianity is weird to me. Cult like group rituals and yet it's my fault for noticing.

[–] nico198X@feddit.nl 1 points 11 hours ago

it IS weird, and mostly heretical.

She has neither the warmth or depth.

If evil is being defeated, why is she still alive?

If anything he was "rescued", or "promoted to headquarters" if you will. Because he was too good a man for these times ahead, and sadly had been getting weaker for a while. And the world is morally poorer for his departure.

I don't view the Vatican as the shining beacon of light it wants to be, but Pope Francis was a great Pope, who more than talking, walked the walk and lead by example. Loved by catholics and even people of other religions, as well as many atheists/agnostics. A unifying force of good.

Yet before he went he made sure his last big act was to admonish Vance and the Trump administration. Good on him.

Seems newsworthy to me when powerful government officials say unhinged and deranged things.

everything happens so much

[–] PragmaticOne@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Wow what a speck of dust :/

[–] AlexLost@lemm.ee 11 points 15 hours ago

He was gasp ... Nice to people sometimes?!

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 61 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

I wonder if there's a country or group of countries that will save Americans that are still decent human beings?

[–] smegger@aussie.zone 61 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

The way things are going, it's getting harder and harder to see the good in America. I know not everyone is like what we see in the news, but there's clearly enough to allow things to keep happening. I feel sorry for the regular people in America.

[–] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 3 points 12 hours ago

The revolution will not be televised

[–] WhiteRabbit@lemmy.today 22 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, I feel like I have to add in a disclaimer now whenever I tell someone I’m American. ‘Oh and btw Fuck Trump!’ lol

Having seen how the world treats Russian citizens, no.

But that is later, after things get worse. Fur now there are plenty of options for those who have money, or are brave, or talented or some combination. Everyone else here will suffer through it

Quite tasteless but it is MTG.

[–] RR321@lemmy.ca 8 points 15 hours ago

Did she misspell her name?

[–] GhostPain@lemmy.world 25 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

I wonder what the Catholic Trumpers here in Louisiana will think of her saying that?

I'm gonna have to ask some.

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Don't worry, cognitive dissonance will save them as usual

[–] projectsquared@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

You lost me at “cognitive”.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Catholic Trumpers agree with her. They hated this pope.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Then they arent real catholics

[–] habitualcynic@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

This.

I’ve been Catholic all my life. How can you be Catholic but oppose the pope, one of the central parts of the religion? It means you don’t trust God’s judgment, therefore you lack faith, therefore you’re not Catholic.

Oh right, they don’t think.

[–] cyan_mess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 hours ago

As the old joke goes, "how do you call a Catholic that disagrees with the Pope? A Protestant".

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Its always infuriating me when people "pick and choose" from religion. Either you take the whole deal or nothing. In this case, the pope, the direkt link and voice of god on earth. If you defy the pope, you defy god and say you know better.

I was raised catholic, and what made me leave was people like that, normal and priests of all levels. No you arent better just because you hold a spiritual position, no your "sinns" arent less evil, no god likes all people no matter their sexuality ethnicity gender identity aso otherwise he, to their own logic, wouldnt have created it!

My favorit joke is "so why did they kill jesus?" He said "be kind to another, help the poor, dont be greedy, love another, and spread love"

Because he spoke Spanish? Wow, that's racist.

[–] aido@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

So what she's saying is the JD Vance really did kill the pope?

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 21 points 21 hours ago

Georgia elects horrible people: news at 11 (but only the executive branch approved news agencies, everyone else has been locked out to preserve alternative fact distribution)

[–] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Is she vile because she knows that we know that she’s a bleach blonde, bad-built butch body removed? I mean, I’m down to go ad hoc too at this point. 💪

[–] griff@lemmings.world 13 points 21 hours ago
