Nobody should respect the pope lol. reactionary shithead and it's always been the case

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I kept telling people Francis was a moderate, even within the church. To the Jesuits he's arguably a reactionary.

I mean, he had connections to the last argentinian dictatorship and knew about the desaparecidos --> https://www.laizquierdadiario.com/Jorge-Bergoglio-la-dictadura-y-los-desaparecidos

He IS a reactionary. He was whitewashed by the Kirchnerist-Peronist gov, after becoming the Pope. I still remember him in the march against same sex marriage. Fuck Bergoglio.

On the other hand, Father Mugica was the based one. A member of the Movement of Priests for the Third World. And murdered during the Triple A phase of the repression against social movements.

Yeah it really shows when people have only interacted with American Catholics. In pretty much everywhere else in the world, Catholics are either rich and like the American ones, or poor and based. Well, not 100% based, trans rights are too controversial even in the leftmost communities, but definitely way to the left of Francis.

Isn't the Jesuit order like, all over the place on the political spectrum?

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, some of them, mostly in Latin America and parts of Africa, are progressive (in favor of social justice, which is a word created by the Jesuit order). But I heard they are reactionary in North America and the Anglophonic world.

"frociaggine"

Italians will really be hateful and then do it with a goober-ass sounding word like this. Like okay pope boyardee u gonna call me the devil's fettuccine next?

Since when does hexbear favor the Pope or any papists

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

When Hexbear critically support the Papists' campaign against Calvinism with burger characteristics.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

It might be a joke...

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Once again, people are realizing the Pope is in fact Catholic

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

I mean yeah, his entire "progressive" persona was a marketing tactic to try to get young people back into the church. Reddit atheism wins again!

"Good for a pope" still leaves plenty of room to be massive disgusting asshole.

The Italian version of beanis gets snagged by the slur filter

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

The context is not funny, but the translation itself was very funny to me.

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

living close to the pope must be the worst thing since the house of hannover became british popes

[–] D61@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

frociaggine

Sounds like some gay magic in a very colorful TTRPG game.

Francis doing an apology tour with Elton John

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Reading the headline got me to hope that it was the cute slang word that refers to gay people as a spice, because Italian

(it wasn't)

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Not my woke pope

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

The Pope has an excellent PR team where he gets to be quoted, almost out of context, and often in casual and unofficial conversations with the press, gaffes if you will. And then his bishops and cardinals go “acktually, it’s still a sin to be a removed”.

If you are interested in Catholicism as an avenue or source of radicalism: a) you are putting the cart before the horse; Catholic/Christians radicals are radicals first and Christians second. b) Religion, despite theologians and their protestations is also affected by historical and material conditions, so it’s really funny when you read an encyclical from the late 1890s where the communists are a radical and malevolent threat, and then you read an encyclical in 1991 where they are like “uwu capitalism, please stop being mwean to workers”.

Appreciate that the pendulum is swinging leftward but do not expect any changes that are not directly caused by our own work and demands, although watered down.

I dunno if I’ve said this here: but spirituality, god, or gods should not be ceded to right wingers. It is a component of the human experience and we need to wrestle with Communism and its exchange with religion.
