Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated following the death of Pope Francis on Monday.
"Today there were major shifts in global leaderships," Greene wrote on X just hours after the pontiff died. "Evil is being defeated by the hand of God."
Greene's remarks came after Rep. Nancy Mace's (R.....
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."
Francis said that judgement should be suspended on gay individuals and theorized a gay cabal in the same sentence.
That's different than being kind to them.
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
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.
Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals, and I find it unlikely he'd appoint someone so ready to buddy with fascism, so we will likely still have a liberal pope.
I've been reading up on the front-runners for Pope and some of them are super old school illiberal. Though the fellow from Ghana does apparently concede that the laws on homosexuality in some African countries are a bit harsh.
Let's not forget Alex Jones, still holding on with this bare teeth claiming "The State" is after him.
(heard a curated interview with Fucker Carlson yesterday, what a cringefest)
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists
Good literate and understanding Christians know how to read the Bible and understand it is fiction storytelling, as is clearly spelled out. It is not a non-fiction history book. It is science fiction storytelling, very inspiring, like George Lucas Star Wars inspires people.
Bible verse John 1:1 - God is language and only language, God is words and only words, God is memes and only memes.
Bible verse "1 John 4:20" - how "I love Jesus" is wrong, how "I love God" is wrong, You can not love a fiction character in a story you have never seen, all hate of living human persons is wrong.
Bible verse '1 John 4:20" - repeating for emphasis: hate of all living human persons is wrong. Hate is bad.
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists
In the Bible storytelling, verse Romans 11:32 - www.Romans1132.org website I created to educate people on this topic - you will see it is plain as day that the story character "God" is the origin of all sins and that all sin is forgiven with mercy.
But ideas beyond Twitter-length mockery and mocking take a little more effort than snark and insults.
The Tower of Babel metaphor of humanity is one of the most important concepts in understanding why people behave the way they do over language usage and differences in interpretation. I created a Lemmy community for you @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social so you can better understand the complexity problems of diverse use of human languages in writing and verbal, electric media communications / media ecology study, and even body languages.

I was born in Columbus Georgia and my brother Jeff lives in Georgia currently. There is a serious problem with Bible Literacy. I created a Mastodon electric media platform hashtag hashtag Bible Literacy Crisis on the topic.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a world-famous preacher in Georgia. We should be helping her better understand how to comprehend the imported Levant Bible storybook and not just using social machines to mock and dehumanize Marjorie Taylor Greene.
How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.
The poor pontiff wasn't used to being face-to-face with that level of evil and egotism. And he didn't think Vance would try to strangle him: "A message from Ratzinger! Bwahaha!"
Most Republicans don't. Never have in my lifetime, honestly, but with how hard they fight these days against e.g. feeding the hungry and treating the sick, it's more glaringly obvious than ever.
It's an alt-right social media trend: descend on the dead before they're even cold.
That said, MTG is still dumb as bricks. Says a lot about MAGA, what type of women they bring forth. Sorry if that sounds sexist - or if, the sexism is not mine.
A smart woman tends not to advance the cause of misogyny no. They kinda don't wanna end up like that chick from Handmaid's Tale who got reading banned for her gender and now she's bored.
Americans - is the consensus of MTG that she actually believes the grift? Obviously the likes of Vance just say whatever wins the room, but she always gave me the impression that she believes every word of maniacal conspiracy she tweets.
She's a woman that has learned that she can get away with anything, as long as she behaves badly enough. She doesn't need to believe it, though she probably does, she knows that is a strategy that works to avoid consequences.
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.
