I love watching crazy people fight

Yeah Pope said funny stuff like "locus of free freedom", whatever that is. But most "a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal and communal style of life... like ome on

It's like a daisy chain in the back of the short bus.

Full submission and obedience > true freedom

Makes sense to me

True freedom is achieved when the others have submitted to you.

I thought his comment on the heart was just some made up bs. Turns out no, it's not. It's an old testament verse, but still in the Bible. As an aside, why do the evangelicals love the old testament so much? Is it because it gives more of a right to be judgy?

Jeremiah 17:9 NIV - The heart is deceitful above all things - Bible Gateway

From a skeptical translation point of view, I want to know if the word heart means the same thing today as it did then.

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 1 points 6 hours ago

The old testament is literally just there for context.

I had to learn that for myself because I wasn't taught it while a baptist. I learned that as an atheist! Its just Tue new testament that matters.

Gotta admit, it takes some balls to mansplain Christianity to the Pope.

Why do people say catholics aren't Christian? I've heard it a few times, it's baffling.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

Catholicism IS Christianity.

Psycho fucking evangelicals

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The sub is clearly a protestants, so the Pope has no power to excommunicate

[–] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Oh, I thought the joke was that the guy was catholic and openly disagreeing with the pope

I didn't want to do this, but I've had enough; I'm calling the lads:

I bet he didn't see that coming.

I think all of Twitter is probably better to ignore?

[–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Holy fuck, thats even worse that I imagined. Most places I'd seen that just cropped to just the first line of the reply, delightfully skipping all of the "sin of empathy" heresy.

As depicted in the gospels, when Jesus was asked what the most important part of the law was our Lord And Savior literally said "love.".

I can't help but read the pope's text in the voice of Dagoth Ur.

Come, Nerevar, come and return to the Heart 🎵

oh oh oh ohhh

The online sewer aka twitter

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

So if you are a true Catholic you have to take the word of the Pope as the word of God. Catholics who disagree with the pope are hypocrites.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm honestly not sure what Mr Pope was trying to say there.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 64 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

"Acting with compassion will improve life for everybody."

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Blows my mind that half of the USA think compassion is woke and to be avoided

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It’s not like they changed, they were already like this. We need to shame people about this more

[–] other_cat@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

This is by design; it's difficult to demonize "the others" if you have even a drop of compassion.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago

Your version is definitely more succinct.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

That you have to have a heart. You have to believe in things, and see right from wrong

We're losing that as a species. Laws aren't a replacement for morality, but they're treated like it

There's no set of laws that could save us from global warming or bring the local community together. But these are very necessary things

[–] Varying9125@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its pretty bad grammatically. maybe he had one too many Jesus wines.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

he's american

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In what manner did he reject it?

“Return to the heart” is just code for giving the alter boys prostate exams eh
