Is this what a good Christian sounds like?

I mean, even without the political angle she'd still say this. She's not Catholic so the concept of a pope is already blasphemous. Christians warring amongst themselves is normal.

Classy as always. MAGA is a movement of societal breakdown.

I'm pretty sure she lost all respect a long time ago

The people in the white house are talking more and more like gaudy villains from 90's anime.

Margarine Trailer Queen: "What do you mean there's another pope?!"

(Once in a while, I start a joke only to realize it'll take 4 or 5 interactions for the punchline to not involve the FBI knocking on my door with a battering ram. Don't have the patience for it at this moment.)

This is the result of 40 years of Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, Rush Limbaugh, and all the other Right Wing Grifters that followed.

They know the lowest of us love cruelty as comedy.

And for some odd reason they are ALL avid voters.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Because they want to belong to "The Team."

Y'all would have killed Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago (3 children)

fun fact... killing jesus was always god's plan. god set adam and eve up in the garden specifically so he could LARP as a Nice Guy™. In fact, not killing jesus would have condemned humanity to eternal suffering, and therefore would have been sin. Not that anyone had a choice, because it's all part of god's plan, right, and god's plan always comes to fruition.

If you believe in that sort of thing.

That's why I'm an atheist. I'm too optimistic.

Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hopefully one that pisses hateful bigots like her off even more.

But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.

I'm very afraid that the next pope will be somebody American catholic bishops would approve of. a trans hating, immigrant-hating asshole who will excuse everything Nazi America does like that one nazi pope did historically

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Do you seriously think the Vatican is influenced by MAGA? Or by European far-right elements for that matter?

It's no coincidence, no outlier, that the last one was slightly more tolerant on certain issues. (Apparently enough to piss off more than one US christofascist.) I fear MTG will not see God's plan in whatever follows, either.

80% of the conclave was appointed by the Pope. I doubt it's gonnabe a radical chnge in the Vatican.

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Even the pope is just a church organ. I meant, his "policy" if you will was more than just his own. It's doubtful that Vance's visit (I will run with the idea*) will bring forth a more conservative pope.

* "Rep. Nancy Mace (...) bizarrely insisted that a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance did not lead to the pope's death."

Oh face of evil,

Oh Marjorie Trailer Queen,

The evil you know,

Is the evil you've seen.

Oh face of spite,

A reflection so mean,

The ugliest sight,

Is the one you preen.

Oh face of shame,

A soul so obscene,

The monster you blame,

Is the one you’ve been.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

at least, that's how i'd have ended it
