“But I think one of the issues here is that if you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful. You’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth, and that’s one of the things that I try to do, and it’s certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they’re Catholic or Protestant,” he added.
The pope and Donald Trump have exchanged barbs over the past several days, with the pope denouncing the war in Iran and Trump responding by saying Leo was “WEAK on crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy.”
They’re really going with ‘lets pick a moral fight with the Pope’.
… I actually have trouble comprehending this, because it is so obviously a politically stupid thing to do.
JD is apparently considerably more lost in the sauce than I thought, has od’d on his own fart sniffing.
It really is wild how immesenly hubristic this all is, but it does serve as a very useful illustration to the rest of the world to drive home the idea that American Christians ™ quite literally think they speak with the authority of God himself, which is broadly regarded as insane heresy by most other Christians in most of the world.
They’re idiot fascists to the core, and its like 30% of the country that is this way.
“they’re very low IQ.” “Stupid” “losers” all of these weak insults, and they never, ever give examples of such. “How so are they losers?” “What makes you say they’re stupid?” There’s never any push back. These are the things a bully says because they’re insecure and don’t know why. There’s no evidence or thought given to these insults.
How is the Pope weak on crime? Show me when the Pope said Iran should have nukes. This is the most basic push back. The media just lets him say whatever without questioning it.
Fascists don’t use language the way normal people do.
They don’t believe in ‘truth’ or ‘reality’ as most people understand it.
They believe that things just are the way they say they are, because they said so.
They primarily use rhetoric, and pathos.
Logos, logic, actually being correct or truthful… they only employ these things to the extent that they can aid either a rhetorical or emotional appeal.
Their entire strategy is ‘create a collective delusion / cult that appeals to the weak and gullible’.
Trying to evaluate the things they say, logically, is generally a waste of time.
The proper way to converse with a fascist is by breaking their jaw with a baseball bat, to disarm them of their weaponized nonsense projection machines.
Fascists believe language is a weapon, not a means of having a discussion.
Their real language is violence, so you must commincate with them in their native tongue, to succesfully convey any ‘meaning’ to them.
If you can read this you are a pope. Specticals, testicles, wallet, and watch. Ramen.
My pope card is the first piece of ID I provide when asked by LEO. It hasn’t worked well. Yet!
Well obviously you need to give it to someone other than pope Leo, he’s the person least likely to accept it
Ah yes, the holy pentacle, rofl.
His noodly appendage
