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 12 points 1 month ago (2 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.

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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.

Revoking the Pope's citizenship and deporting him would be very on brand for Trump.

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know, I actually wonder what happens with citizenship once you become pope or one of the few top cardinals. Do you lose/renounce your original one and become a citizen of Vatican City?

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm fairly sure that most Popes (and people who have the Vatican on their passports) generally maintain dual citizenship.

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

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

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!

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Hash tag "peace" is killing me 🤣

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month 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 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah... Something doesn't add up

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month 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 -2 points 1 month ago

LLMs? 😶

:)

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you think you're in a news sub?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I knew people stopped reading articles...

I genuinely didn't know literacy has gotten so bad people won't read a screenshot of a fucking tweet

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Person A posts a tweet and makes a clear and obvious joke along the lines of said tweet

Person B for some fucking reason: "WHY IS JOKE NOT IN TWEET CAN'T YOU READ HURR DURR I AM SMAT AND YU DUMMY FOR NOT COPY PASTING"
