@hannahkrieg @whatitd0babey Which was specifically supposed to be kept OFF record.

And yet you're tweeting about the funfetti cake batter incident
Kristin Merrilees@kristnmerrilees
whenever you tell someone at a party you’re a journalist and they clamor to clarify that they’re “off the record” it’s like. you just told me a story about your cat throwing up after eating funfetti cake batter. should we call the new york times? should we invite bella hadid ?

@rocks_lab @MelancholyYuga So do you think that the Gospels are a very accurate portrayal of Jesus said?
English
@MelancholyYuga Like, go read the parable. There's no transcendent hidden message there. It's just a guy who believes the world is going to end soon trying to convince other people to change their behavior in accordance with that belief. It's the same kind of shit every doomsday prophet says.

Protestants love to pretend their reading of Scripture is obvious until you point out no one held to it for the first 1500 years of Christian history
Dr Jordan B. Cooper@DrJordanBCooper
Trad RCs love integralism until the Pope says something they don't like. Trad RCs love to bash Protestants over the head with the supposed pure consistent teachings of the Papacy until the Pope speaks ecumenically about and to Protestants.

@GunsAndRosariez @leoinstituteCST Their nuclear program has repeatedly been violently set back for thirty years. Bridges are always months away from collapse if they don't get painted - they get painted.
English
@leoinstituteCST We’ve been scaremongered for 30 years that there weeks away from a nuclear weapon.
Governments lie.
English
Peter is struggling with basic logic. If Iran cannot be permitted to have a nuclear weapon and it will take conflict to deter them from getting one (both obviously true to any honest observer), then the pope's total prohibition on conflict implies Iran will get a nuke.
Duh.
Peter B@realpeteyb123
Trump says that the Pope made a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon. That’s a lie, again from the president. To our faces, blatant. I don’t care about your thoughts on Pope Leo, I have a lot I don’t agree with, but he never said that.
English
@hf_222222 I'm going to read the bit that the Papacy has excerpted for wide consumption. That's the thing the papacy seeks to actually communicate.
English
Before everyone goes nuts, read the full homily, Leo is explicit there was actually a supernatural multiplication.
He isn't reducing it to some boomer materialist parable.
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken, not with a hand that snatches away, but with a hand that gives. In this way, the food was abundant. It was not rationed out of necessity. It was not stolen in strife. It was not wasted by those who gorge themselves in the presence of those who have nothing to eat. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@JuampaDeArco @cath_menarion And does that letter contain - in your view - the full doctrine of the pope's sovereignty that all Romans must subscribe to today?
English
@Claire_bot5 @cath_menarion “I have doubts whether this supremacy was recognized in the time of St. Jerome”
Saint Jerome literally has letters to a Pope recognizing him as the successor of Saint Peter.
English
@ChrisProductio @btbsoco Do you genuinely think that Trump was claiming to be quoting the Pope? Iran wants nuclear weapons and he pope has condemned in blunt terms any workable efforts to prevent that, that is "making the statement that Iran can have nuclear weapons"
English
@btbsoco Nah, Trump is a loser. You don’t win a moral argument by breaking God’s commandments and lying, claiming the pope made a statement saying that Iran can have nuclear weapons. Obviously the pope didn’t say that and he wouldn’t be the pope if he said that.
English
Trump is actually winning the moral argument because the Pope is arguing from fantastical hyperbole. The Pope is wrong... And that he is a more intellectual man than Trump shows what a stupid position he has gotten himself into...
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST NAILED IT: "The Pope has to understand that — it's very simple. I have nothing against the Pope." "I have to do WHAT'S RIGHT." "His brother is MAGA all the way!" "I'm not fighting with him. The Pope made a statement. He says Iran can have a nuclear weapon." "I say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And if the Pope looked at the 42,000 people that were killed over the last two or three months as a protester with no weapons, no nothing — I mean, you take a look at that. So I can disagree with the Pope. I have a right to disagree."
English
@tom_watson Interesting that your party went from the unluckiest anti-racist ever, to the unluckiest truth-teller ever.

If this is what he said all along there would be no outrage
Mary Margaret Olohan@MaryMargOlohan
President Donald Trump: "I have a right to disagree with the pope...the pope can say what he wants. And I want him to say what he wants. But I can disagree."
English
@carbo_al If Trump just asserted his right to disagree rather than actually disagree. Yeah, I guess so.
English
@breadandposes @janhopi @SCFCJosh96 To clarify - you actively want the falsely convicted - who can't share a buried body - to get longer sentences than the actually guilty - who can?
English
@janhopi @SCFCJosh96 Can you do that and be paroled? Imo the issue is "life sentences" that aren't meant to actually be life sentences causing these sorts of issues so they can keep someone who was really sentenced to 15-25 years on parole for rest of their life.
English
surely if you don't reveal where you've buried somebody you shouldn't be let out? That's basic leverage they have over him.

@FeserEdward The pope by attacking Trump and then having his cardinals go on 60 minutes
English
The Left? All the anti-Leo stuff I've been seeing on this site for days has been coming from MAGA people, starting with the president. I'm glad you're not joining in with it, Michael, and no doubt the Left is delighted to see it. But let's have no illusions about who started it.
The Michael Knowles Show@MKnowlesShow
"This is an anti-Catholic — and coincidentally anti-Trump — op to try to split the Catholics from the president, and the president from the Catholics." @michaeljknowles breaks down the Left's efforts to pit President Trump and Pope Leo XIV against one another:
English
@emzanotti The pope's staff are absolutely representing the pope when they post on his twitter account.
English
The Pope is not tweeting while Hegseth is holding a press conference, you absolute undercooked asparagus. A social media team posts snippets from his speeches, often not in context or even within a specific timeframe, which is the root of this whole problem.
Aaron Blake@AaronBlake
The pope posted this mere minutes after Hegseth compared press coverage of the Iran war to the Pharisees working against Jesus.
English
@tonyannett It is indeed unprecedented.
So is Vance uniquely the most evil political leader in recent history. Or are the popes hacks?
English
Two popes publicly chastised him. We need to acknowledge how rare and unprecedented this is.
Kevin Vallier@kvallier
Vance seems to have permanently discredited his Catholic public witness by trying to correct the pope. He’s been Catholic for, what, eight years? And now the Pope and American Catholic leadership are openly and directly opposing him.
English
@polytixs @darrengrimes We did that with AR - and the police chiefs decided it was wacist to stop him stabbing a dance class of little girls
English
@darrengrimes Why don’t you just let the police get on with their investigations?
No doubt if the man turns out to be white you’ll stop posting about the crime.
English
The police in Epsom say that there's widespread disinformation. Ok then. Fix that? Tell us what you know about the suspects. No? Why not?

@Griffinjohn38 @Xsteveholl @JonathanPieNews Because a strong council representation makes a higher majority more likely.

There's lying, and then there's lying to the point of making yourself look like a complete bellend.

“Reform did not promise to cut council tax in the local elections.” “I’ve seen the leaflets!” Reform’s Zia Yusuf says he personally reviewed leaflets for the last local elections, arguing none of them said council taxes would be cut or frozen. @StigAbell

@giles_fraser Do you really consider looking the other way as Iran slaughters thousands of protestors as a gospel imperative?
English
Those who have been cosplaying Christianity for electoral purposes are beginning to find out about the Gospel. Thank you, Holy Father.

@TheRedNed11482 @mattyglesias That was after the election. And done by private Companies, not the government.
English
I hear the people saying "how authoritarian can Orban have been if he lost an election?" but part of the answer is "he banned the opposition leading from appearing on television."
Jay in Kyiv@JayinKyiv
Long unofficially banned from appearing on state TV, incoming Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appears on a channel to which he was previously not allowed only to announce an end of "North Korean" style Orban media monopoly.
English
@HarrierMagnus Pope Leo protested against the West's defeat of communism in the 80s.
John Chrysostom lived hundreds of years before Marx. communism isn't "caring about the poor". Communism is evil.
English
People calling Pope Leo a communist is just yet another reminder for me that Saint John Chrysostom transcendes ages.
Nobody who thinks Leo is a communist could withstand hearing Chrysostom talk about the poor and the rich. He's hard for ME to read, because he chastises me.
