Please be true, please be true

I suspect we might be so back

Sending Prayers, The Catholics need a based Pope, they are too powerful to be mucking about with watering down The Faith

 

[Niggs Monaghan]

>News guys literally discussing does the Pope prefer deep dish or Roman pizza
>Pope confirmed for Cubs fan
We are so fucking back, Catholic Americans

To all the people worried that His Holiness will preach heresy, I'm calling it:

See? We have nothing to worry about.

 

[Myrtle the Turtle]

The Vatican bent knee to Trump.

 

[testnameplsignore]

According to the stream I'm watching previously the wisdom was that an American could never be chosen as Pope because America is too powerful and it would be dangerous to centralise power.
Does he get away with this by being part Latinx or is America no longer seen that way

 

[Cassius Crayfish]

I'm quite surprised they picked a relatively young American.

"Free refills for refugees" - Pope Leo XIV

Trumps response

 

[Secret Boots]

It’s all according to Vance’s plan

 

[RodgerDodger]

He has taken the name Leo XIV looking to emulate Leo XIII the "social justice" Pope.

That might not be a bad thing. Leo XIII was expressly Anti-Socualist/Marxist. Prevost does not appear to be an actual Communist. He seems to oppose the extremes of Marxism and unrestrained Capitalism.

He is or was the Archbishop of Boston. Which likely means he is very Anti-kid diddling. After the whole Cardinal Law scandal the Church has been careful about who they put in Boston.

He honestly seems very middle of the road. With a heavy emphasis on "Go slow to not break shit". He seeks greater involvement of women in the Church and expanded roles in lay governance. But is dead set against female Priests and Deacons. As an example.

The most interesting thing about him and his elevation is he is American. Which is something Vatican insiders have been claiming would never could never happen for all of the 20th and 21st century's. The Vatican long maintained the Papacy was a balance to American Hegemony. Now for the first time ever the Cardinals are steering into American Hegemony. And they did this during the Trump administration. What they are seeing of the current world worries them enough to seek shelter behind the walls of American Hegemony is itself worrying.

I will believe it when I see it. It's the Catholic Church, I wouldn't be surprised if the application form required to be Pope asks you "In a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you love migrants?".

Maybe I'm alone in this but when I see somoene express anti-LGBT+ views now I immediately get suspicious that they are trying to get on my good side or just popular points, the UK has been doing this a lot.

 

[Hitman One]

So he spoke in Spanish, he spoke in Italian, but he didn't speak in English?

He spoke in Spanish for the Americans watching.

Trumps response

Trump must bend the knee to His Holiness and kiss the ring. Also I already know who I am voting for in 2028.

 

[Cassius Crayfish]

What they are seeing of the current world worries them enough to seek shelter behind the walls of American Hegemony is itself worrying.

Is that what it is though? There are probably three different ways you could interpret the decision to pick an American.

 

[エボラちゃん]

 

[ziggity zaggity]

Unironically and wholeheartedly, thank you God for not electing a nigger pope. Amen, Hallelujah

 

[Dana scully]

a centrist american who loves covering up sex crimes, many such cases!

Im going to give this a natural informative reaction. It only says he expressed anti-fag views previously. Doesn't mean he won't just "change his mind" later when it becomes convenient.
