The Holy Spirit doesn't want JD Vance. : whitepeopletwitter

It's still hitting me regularly that this pope is more reasonable than the US president.

The Catholic Church is more progressive than the US government.

No, I'm still not fully grasping it.

how is it still hitting you? the new guy's been pope less than a day

[-] needanke@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago

I'd argue the former pope was also more progressive than the current us gov.

This reminds me of a comment I read a while back

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 month ago

Mr Vance, have you said 'Thank You?' even once, for the personal spiritual guidance afforded to you by the Holy Pontiff?

[-] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I had to do a double take when someone said Vance is Catholic. He's a perfect evangelical, they love him, my evangelical culty parents love him so much it's gross, he does not seem Catholic.

Im surprised all his hillbilly racist KKK friends didn't spontaneously combust once they heard about his conversion to Catholicism if he even did convert.

I saw this go by and didn't really think about it. We both learned something from this. I think you're trying to help the community, the community is telling you that it's not. I'm not going to ban you, but this is a warning. Good intentions aren't always good results.

Misgendering someone as an insult may hurt them a little, but it hurts the non-cis community a lot.

For what it's worth, and maybe I'm naive, but I read that comment not about not meeting some criteria of what appears on a driver's license... But instead rebuking the notion that JD has acted with the integrity required to achieve "manhood".

English has really massacred the ability to clearly articulate concepts around biology, identifying as a boy or girl, and then having lived in such a way to have "ascended" to "manhood/womanhood".

JD Vance is a boy if he says he's a boy. Being a man isn't so simple. I reject that he is a man.

Ignoring the bit where they call him trans as an insult...

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah re-reading that line, I think you're right that they intended "trans" to mean "masqueradeding as".

I agree with the sentiment, but you're right, it's not cool to use "trans" for that purpose. Thanks for poking me to more carefully consider how the word was used here.

I mean he is a couch-o-phile, that's for sure.

[-] CameronDev@programming.dev -1 points 1 month ago

Are couches male or female?

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

... No.

The answer to your question is 'no', lol.

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

The last time I remember having the same opinion as the pope was in 2003 against Bush Jr.'s war. If anyone will ever get me to become a catholic, I'm pretty sure it will be a US president.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

JD probably only converted because he thinks wearing cross necklaces are manly

What conscience?

[-] Kobek@sh.itjust.works -5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

People on the right are already Christian. This is just a psyop from the Trump government to convert more people to Christianity by thinking it's cool to be anti-Trump and Christian and still be in a position of power since the left dynamic is all about chasing power. Talk about 5D chess...

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

It's really not. The name Leo is associated with workers rights and human dignity, the guy has been directly calling out Vance and Trump, and the guy has strong ties to south America and was Francis's right hand man

The guy gave his speech in Italian and Spanish, not English. This is not a maga pope

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Vast swathes of American 'Christians' don't consider Catholics to be Christian

Sorry but I have to ask: is this is a joke/sarcasm/satire/shitpost? It's written the way I'd write an over-analyzed view of the situation into a conspiracy shitpost. Judging by the up-to-down-vote ratio, it's hard to tell
