[-] RION@hexbear.net 45 points 4 months ago

"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?

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago

dawg, it's the same in english, half of y'alls slurs sound like goofy shit, like what the fuck is tr___, it's just the word trans but the creative transphobes changed it a little

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

No it's about vehicle transmissions! maddened

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 41 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Bakzik@hexbear.net 41 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago

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 4 months 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.

smh come to Poland you'll hate catholicism as soon as you set foot here

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 53 points 4 months ago

I don't need to come all the way to Poland to hate Catholicism tbh

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 4 months ago

Fair. But don't you want to hate it more?????? Huh??? kom tu polen :cri:

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago

I've actually been to Poland! I had a great time honestly

[-] Angel@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

As a non-binary person that grew up in an insanely devout Catholic family from Trinidad and Tobago, I don't think that's possible for me, even with a visit to Poland.

[-] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

100% this, growing up around it will make you loathe it. For every 3 cool liberation theologians there's like 500 reactionary clergy.

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

OMG I'm an ex catholic, pls do tell!

What the fuck. And I thought blessing a server room was the weirdest thing I knew.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

Blessing a server room actually makes a lot more sense than exorcising veganism.

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Poland really is a state of mind huh?

South Africa has some of the worst evangelicals though, like the pastor who sprayed his followers with Doom insecticide to "cure HIV and cancer", and was found guilty of assault.

Warning, graphic images in the article.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 4 months ago

Power of faith is awesome, it can even convince people to think an insecticide named literally Doom is a miracle cure.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Now I know 3 punk bands thar are also bug sprays. Black Flag, Anti Cimex and Doom

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

Since when does hexbear favor the Pope or any papists

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

It might be a joke...

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months 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!

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

fuckin got his ass

[-] vertexarray@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

he's gay. he's reclaiming it

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

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

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 4 months ago

The bar is just very very low.

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

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

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

The Italian version of beanis gets snagged by the slur filter

[-] D61@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

frociaggine

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

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

resisting the urge to "One of us! One of us! One of us!" post

[-] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

referring to the urge is "One of us! One of us! One of us!" posting oooaaaaaaauhhh

Francis doing an apology tour with Elton John

It’s okay, he is a closeted gay, he can say it.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months 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 4 points 4 months ago

Not my woke pope

[-] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months 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.
