Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Thus answering the question "Is the Pope Catholic?"
He's just a priest, nothing really can come of him
That's a feature, not a bug.
I thought it was called a job requirement.
Right? Find me a single priest who isn’t a kiddy diddler or who hasn’t protected one. I’ll wait.
I mean, you don’t make it to the top of the mafia without being a gangster
Isn’t that what you do when you’re a member of a pedophile ring?
Couldn’t you make this article no matter who they picked?
The previous pope didn't have this problem.
He's also threatening to excommunicate any priest who follows Washington's mandatory reporting law.
No more tax exemption. Even better, ban them.
Which shows where their priorities are.
Not in the greater good.
Not even in the common good.
Their priorities are, as always, been in protecting, defending, and hiding pedophiles.. especially pedophile priests and other officials.
Doctors, Teachers, Therapists, Etc all have a moral and legal imperative to protect children from harm and abusers. Why is it the catholic church fights so hard to argue it doesnt?
He's a corporativist
The environment - so trusting of Trump, so distrustful of clergy - is so charged that one needs only say that priest did something and it takes on a life of its own.
I don't know this priest. I didn't know the last Pope.
But I bet a real investigation will show what happened more than rumours planted on Facebook while a despot needs a diversion and a villain.
If you'd read the article you will see that this is a report from a network of church abuse survivors and the person speaking has first hand evidence from speaking to Prevost. If you discount them, you are basically saying that witness statements count for nothing. You are silencing the victims.
You will also know that Prevost blocked the 'real investigation' you claim you want and this is core to the point of the article.
The environment isn't trusting .
The media is amplifying all FUD from anyone except Trump.
i think he did much worse than look away.
Peruvian non practicing Catholic here; from what I can gather, both mainstream and alternative (meaning independent, not meaning alternative-facts) in Peru have been afire over this. Afaik the accusations seems to be a revenge hit-job done by a cult/faction (the sodalites/los sodalicios) that just recently were disbanded by pope Francis itself, with some even being excommunicated. This sect is/was rolling in money, so bad that they even have companies in the caiman islands; they ofc seem to have also corrupted judges, other non cult priests and politicians and that explains the failure of secular justice.
It would probably take an actual miracle for an anti-pedophile pope to be elected.
same for any current president too, sadly.
Sounds like he's upholding Christian Values.
It's frustrating that the news on tv never mentions this, they only say positive things about him
almost like there's a white Christian bias in the mainstream media.
I know! make the next pope black or a woman!
The catholic church is the biggest pedophile ring in the world
In Catholic Church politics, he was the middle-of-the-road candidate.
On the one side, he protected priests who sexually abused children.
But on the other side, he was never caught diddling kids himself.
A true moderate.
I hate that this sounds a little sarcastic but it's absolutely true.
