This is also after the revelation that this regime was actually threatening Vatican to better support trump or else.

Seems like they went with "or else"

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 months ago (3 children)

LOL, I guess, poor Pope Francis.

To be completely honest though I commented on the tweet, then saw the title after posting it. They actually were threatening Vatican with a military action. This is apparently why Pope postponed 2026 visit to US. Insane.

Asshats. They've no idea the bear they're poking. The Catholic church may be severely diminished nowadays, not to mention more tame, but it's still influential all over, it's the most powerful church in the world.

A military action against the Vatican means a military action against Italy (both by geography and by treaties between the two). It'd also mean the EU would come in help. What an idiotic administration.

Ahah! You fell for my trap headline!

Yes, teehee, I know, but I figured my title as it is would provoke someone to point that out, and I am just frolicking in the madness of what is apparently reality, and just wanted to be goofy.

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I read that also.

If that’s true, and the Pope, as a representative of one of the largest religious groups in the world, doesn’t officially tell everyone what happened, denounce the administration as corrupt, and place politics above his religion and supposed belief of Jesus Christ, then he is no follower of anything but, ultimately, his own self.

I don't expect him to. Historically Vatican doesn't get into political games Twitter trolling etc. This admin was trying that already and it just ended with silence.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure that was already taken up by a higher authority.

When was the last excommunication? Maybe it's time.

Huh...

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

Matthew 10:34-36

Shhh, you're not allowed to point out that the entire Bible is full of contradictions and that theology is just people trying to explain away discrepancies in their fan canon theories...

Pope might ban you from heaven too!

Hash tag "peace" is killing me 🤣

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -5 points 4 months ago (4 children)

What is that headline?

Did you post the wrong picture or do you think that's what the tweet says?

[–] degenerate_neutron_matter@fedia.io 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I don't think you know what a meme is then...

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah... Something doesn't add up

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Man, it's been all day.

I don't know why, but it's like critical thinking just got the day off around here.

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz -1 points 4 months ago
