Pope meets with JD Vance.

Says the Trump admin's immigration policy is a grave sin.

Refuses to elaborate.

Dies.

Based Holiness.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

The "refuses to elaborate" is simple, Mathew 25 31-46.

It quite clearly says that you are to welcome the immigrant, feed the poor, care for the sick, and visit the prisoners.

Failure to do any of that is a straight shot to hell, no matter how much you claim to love god, you actually have to do the work, or it's off to hell.

Fun fact, Mathew 25 is the only place in the bible that references sending ordinary people to hell. All that fire and brimstone, it's actually in that one passage. Nowhere else does hell show up for normal people, just fallen angles and shit.

I'd rather die than talk to JD Vance too. That dude seems like a pdf file.

Guy only has hours left alive, he shouldn’t be cursed to speak to an American fascist cunt.

[-] 7toed@midwest.social 13 points 2 months ago

Well this comment was the last thing I read before seeing he died about 7 hours ago, guess you were right

Pope ghosts

Well, that certainly aged. Like milk or wine, I'm not sure.

[-] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

Wine, it's pretty funny wording in hindsight.

Pope Ghosts JD Vance

This is a very unfortunate title.

[-] CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Dude all but endorsed Trump, called Harris a baby killer. Fuck him and his nonsense organization.

Of course popes have a wonderful history of supporting authoritarian monsters.

[-] pacology@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Just look up this pope’s history during the Argentinian coup. This isn’t his first rodeo.

Pope's Ghost haunts JD Vance for not saying thank you

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

Could it be claimed that JD killed the pope? Pretty sus that he had a brief meeting and the man was dead hours later.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Queen met Liz Truss and died. JD goes to see the pope and he dies. Pattern around conservatives?

In February, without naming names, the Pope directly refuted a Catholic concept Vance had twisted to justify deportations. Vance had cited ordo amoris—the “order of love”—to argue that Americans should come first.

Francis responded: “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups.”

Vance, acknowledging the rebuke, called himself a “baby Catholic” and admitted, “there are things about the faith that I don’t know.”

Dude, I'm not Catholic at all and I could have told you that. It's not really complicated to see that Catholic interpretation Jesus would whip you out of the temple.

His boss being a rapist felon that never faces consequences let alone justice. And we're all supposed to turn a blind eye in their world.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Turning a blind eye is the only way conservatism can function.

I cant imagine hearing the the Pope died

And knowing that one of the last things he did alive was tell me Im being an asshole

But not even directly. Instead I didnt even get to meet him and he just sent someone to tell me.

Is "ghosts" really the most sensitive word for someone who's been on deaths door for a while now?

Edit - er. Well. Just seen today's news.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

did you just jinx him?

Let's hope no rumors swirl that JD killed the pope with a contact poison

[-] SloganLessons@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

No, just cringe. The pope died of cringe.

Based Francis

The rest of the world should take this approach. If everyone just plain ignored and ghosts the US’s emissaries it would be pretty funny.

The Pope couldn't bear being so close to JD Vance, so he just gave up.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

He didn't want to be in a MAGA propaganda photo. Neither did Gretchen Whitmer.

[-] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

I'm impressed he didn't burst into flames.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That kind of power is not in the regular pope's hands.

And sadly I was unaware he was visiting.

Kudos to the Pope Francis and fuck Just Dumb. I would have sent the Swiss Guard and tossed his Russian supporting ass out of the Vatican.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Vance barely made a peep in public when p47 was inaugarated only made noise as directed by thiel, when trump/doge was facing alot of backlash for the firings and tariffs to distract the public.

[-] mooncake@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
