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.

I’m an apostate and I can say that if you managed to get to the eucharist you should know that when you don’t know something about catholic doctrine you’re supposed to run it up the msgisterium. That’s what they’re there for. Priests go to college for this shit and usually can set you right. If they don’t know they can ask a bishop. If it’s pressing and uncertain the pope may need to make a call. And if a world leader asks it the pope actually might

Even if you aren’t big on Catholicism, do we think Jesus would advocate harming migrants to put yourself first? This is the guy who said the widow person donating two coppers is a exemplary person because they gave everything they had. From a Catholic pov, surely the right move would be to help migrants over enriching yourself.

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.
- D_C@lemm.eeEnglish1 year
Not just their emissaries. Ghost everyone up to FatBoy Tangerine, and beyond.
If there is ever another voted in president and this new ‘leader’ is a decent person, not just a tRUMP puppet. Then ghost them as well for allowing that orange turd to walk free after all the treasonous shit he pulled in his first term.

Pope meets with JD Vance.
Says the Trump admin’s immigration policy is a grave sin.
Refuses to elaborate.
Dies.
Based Holiness.
- chaogomu@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
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.

Wasn’t this “fact checker” site found to greatly favor zionist propaganda and in fact be horrendously biased itself?
- finder@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
Post a source.
So far everyone I’ve seen making this accusation are one word replacement away from looking like an unhinged 4Chan rant about (((Them))).
You want a source that it’s zionist, and then compare it to “(((them)))” stuff from 4chan which is not antizionist but antisemitic. That is an extremely important difference, and if you refuse to acknowledge that difference you’re conflating anti-imperialism with Nazism which is crazy.
- finder@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
Antisemitic folks like to make heavy usage of euphemisms to mask antisemitic topics behind socially acceptable language. 4Chan uses ‘anti-globalism’ as the euphemism for Jews.
Similar to how the ML instance uses ‘anti-imperialist’ talking points to push pro-Russian imperialism and anti-Ukraine talking points.

I’ll never understand why people shit on him for fictional things when there’s plenty of real things to shit on him for.
I honestly think it helps him/MAGA, because it teaches them, their supporters, and impressionable others that people make stuff up about him to criticize, so they can safely ignore criticism of him.
- webadict@lemmy.worldEnglish1 year
Because the only things that actual bother him are being called a fucking loser and weirdo. The actually shitty things he does, he would do a million times and feel nothing.
And what you say can’t be true, or the millions of lies he told would matter more.

You’re confused if you concluded without evidence that he gives a shit if the left pretends he fucks couches while he’s shuffling minorities off to concentration camps.

To a fascist, image is everything. Ruin their image for the sad, fucking weirdos that they are makes fascists weak.
I think part of it is about making him into a joke to prevent him from gaining the cult following necessary to be another trump. I don’t think trump supporters would care about the valid criticisms, but the idea he has sex with couches is provocative and humorous, and seems to have become one of the only things a lot of people know about him.

There’s plenty factual stuff to use that far right people hate though:
-
Being in the military with zero people skills means he was an ineffectual leader and a desk driving paper pusher
-
He wears eyeliner
-
He grew a beard to hide his weak chin
-
He’s a white nationalist with a minority wife who looks like she’s at gunpoint every time she’s on camera
Again, inventing a lie to attack him with will just galvanize his supporters. Use what’s already true and very conflicting with far right ideology.
The attack point has to be something that both sides of the political spectrum finds repulsive. If only right wingers have a problem it makes the lefties look like hypocrites, and if it’s something only people on the left care about it’s ineffective.
Eyeliner and weak chins/beards aren’t things people on the left tend to take issue with, while white nationalism and misogyny aren’t things people on the right take issue with.
The military thing could work, but it’s not punchy enough, it’s too specific and not very funny. The couch fucker jokes are easy laughs.

Your standards for MAGA cultists is way too high. They won’t ever know the difference between fact and lie, and they won’t care if they eventually learnt about it. Words and facts means nothing to them, it is all about “winning”.
