Poetic answer: “It’s better to know you’re a normal zebra than to think you’re a weird horse.” Direct answer: “Without those labels, most people chalk up your symptoms to character flaws they can use as excuses to hate you, abuse you, and discriminate against you.”

The Pentagon installed antipope would have to be a Cubs fan. I don't make the rules.

Mayoral Obama I fear. He might be ruled out of Presidency but with no term limits on Governor he might run New York for the rest of his life lmao.

Trump invoking the Avignon Papacy sends a clear message: “The Vatican can bend the knee willingly, or we’ll knock them down.” Genuine, genuine Antichrist shit.

This should go without saying, but every American Catholic needs to get it into their head that their loyalty is to the Catholic Church over Donald Trump. There can be no ambiguity on this.

We’ve reached a stage in the LARP where the most crusaderboo guys in the military threatened the literal Catholic Church because it told them off that DEUS does not, in fact, VULT

The Avignon Papacy reference is the detail that demands attention. An American defense official invoked a 14th-century episode in which the French Crown physically relocated the papacy to Avignon and controlled it for 67 years - as an implicit model for what happens to religious institutions that oppose state power. That's not a slip of the tongue. That's a studied historical reference deployed deliberately in a room with the Pope's senior diplomat. The message was not subtle. Leo heard it. He spent Holy Week delivering what papal scholars described as a sustained theological argument about the nature of power and imperial violence. On Palm Sunday he said Jesus rejects the prayers of those who wage war. On Easter Sunday - the same morning Trump posted his expletive-filled threat on Truth Social - Leo told world leaders to lay down weapons. On Tuesday he called the civilization threat "truly unacceptable" and asked citizens directly to contact their elected representatives. The White House's response to the Pope's Tuesday statement: "The Iranian people welcome the sound of bombs because it means their oppressors are losing." The first American pope will spend America's 250th birthday on Lampedusa with migrants. One Vatican official told The Free Press: "The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration." The Pentagon summoned a cardinal and invoked the Avignon Papacy. The Pope responded by asking 1.4 billion Catholics to call their congressmen.

In 1303, Pope Boniface VIII was arrested by King Philip IV of France. The Pope was jailed and beaten for 3 straight days, leading to his death a few weeks later. To even make a passing reference to that period takes a level of evil we haven't seen on earth for a very long time.

So God loves only American troops? Not innocent people who lost their lives in Iran? Where was God's "miraculous protection" for them? This is the inevitable result of believing that God is on "our side." It's making a false god in our image: a god who despises Iranians.

Aziraphale's side is empty because he's looking at the one who could fill it. Crowley's side is messy because he's looking at the one who could fix it. Heaven is an empty house Hell is a disorganized mess

@hxrkncss Close enough welcome back Mamma Mia

idk what’s funnier: that israel’s diplomatic strategy is “give trump a big gold trophy” or that it will absolutely work

They Came Back Wrong trope but it’s just me taking a weird nap and waking up with a headache

When All your Heroes get tired / I’ll be something better yet

The Pope is not "woke" so much as US evangelicalism has been veering deeper into heresy for quite some time now & dragging too many Catholics along with it. And the Church is finally saying enough is enough.

getting emotional about the concept of snoopy coming back and telling humans they're safe to go next

I think it’s very important that we have an American Pope publicly rebuking and condemning this uniquely American Fascism that’s threatening to endanger the entire world.

@dcpoll Every time the pope speaks publicly it sounds like he’s daring Trump to mess with him. He doesn’t raise his voice but he doesn’t seem afraid.
