the catholic church is an institution that is rotten to its core, even when fascists hate the guy at the top
Appreciating that the Church will be anti-republican and leaning ever so slightly more into liberalism can exist alongside the Church’s history.
I’ll never be pro-religion, but we n ed to take a win when we can.
It’s all just fluff and disingenuous crap. Take the last one, Francis. He pretended to be soooo humble because he slept in a nice cottage still in the disgustingly opulent Vatican instead of the even nicer pope bedroom. As an absolute monarch he had the power to dismantle the entire system and give away the wealth to the previous victims of the church to make amends. But he didn’t. This one will say a bunch of nice stuff about migrants, but when the rubber hits the road nothing will change. And they’ll still force every one of their poor members to pay a 10% income tax while burying more gold in the Vatican.
A book I was just reading told a story of how the Massachusetts church was trying for a long time to build more affordable housing, and basically got blocked out by NIMBYs and white patriarchy. So, given recent media, I’ve found them to sometimes be okay.
I don’t think we should be surprised their pro-zionists in the Bible Belt are psychopaths molesting children though.
The capital R is very important in your comment.
Unfortunately really not a high bar.
Normal person: We should improve society somewhat.
MAGA: Woke. What is wrong with that person? Why are they aware of issues that we face as a society? We need to put a stop to this by voting for a guy who's never lived an ordinary day in his entire life.
So basically turning around the MAGA philosophy? They hate everything vaguely leftist, even if it's food for them. Like bicycle paths, renewable energy, unions, taxing the rich, universal healthcare, etc. Not really a good way of looking at things.
It must be a coincidence that all of the things on that list would be to the minor detriment of the wealth of billionaires and trillion-dollar companies if they were implemented
I generally agree that blindly hating without critical thinking what somebody supports is problematic, but the reasons for which they hate the pope are pretty fucking dumb. So 🤷
Is that because he's not trump? Were there MAGAts who genuinely believed that trump even had a chance?!
Wait, never mind, of course MAGAts thought trump had a chance, they don't live in reality.
If Nazis don't like something
It's probably worth supporting
Two shitty delusional cult leaders hate each other.
MAGAs have lost their souls and minds, if they ever had the latter. The whole Pope position is more than iffy, totally unnecessary and a relic of the past, a reminder of the times in which the Pope had lands and actual power (and much blood was shed making these people rich and using the name of God as an excuse). This pope might be, insha'Allah, a better human than every single red American, sure, but that's a very low bar, especially for a religious leader. The last Pope was loved by all and was an exception because he was a reasonable and moral man, not a politician in funny clothes.
You can judge a man by his enemies.
These people would literally crucify Jesus again if he came back, even with absolute undeniable proof that's him.
