Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

@TwoThumbsDon I don’t understand why they think this looks better than saying “Yeah he did that and that was him as Jesus. He is sorry.”

"If there is progress, then these games against Indiana, Oregon and Ohio State... you should not neccesarily go into those thinking, 'we're gonna get blown out.' Because if you get blown out in year four by those programs, you can't really sell progress," On Early Break, @steven_sipple, while believing criticism on this Nebraska team should not ensue before they take the field, still thinks that there is a serious question regarding big-picture progress.

Bishop
Bishop@BishopJaxi·
Protestant: "The Pope didn't speak about Christians being martyred in Nigeria." Catholic: Shows video of the Pope speaking directly about Christians being martyred in Nigeria. Protestant: "Well, the Pope has never spoken about Christians being martyred by Islamists." Catholic: Shows video of the Pope speaking directly about Christians being martyred by Islamists. Protestant: "Well, the Pope has never spoken about my neighbor flipping me off." At some point, it becomes obvious that these people are not interested in truth. They begin with their conclusion, get corrected, and then immediately move the goalposts because the real issue was never the facts. It was always hostility to the Church.

I’m seeing all of your comments about the photo from Saturday’s UFC event and all I can say is that I’m devastated.   I was there to see the fights and when I was walking through the venue, the Tate brothers stood up and said hello and that’s when the exchanged happened.  I did not know them or about them before that moment.   I’ll never pretend to be a perfect person but let me be crystal clear,  I do not know the Tate brothers nor do I support them in any way.

@nickycantaloupe Look, if you’re not angry and fearful all the time it just means you’re on the wrong team or ignorant, obviously.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex

Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in #Algeria, the maternal love of Lalla Meryem gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign. #ApostolicJourney

Publisher: So you've given us a book about a big friendly giant, one about an enormous crocodile, and another where a granny grows as big as a house. What's new? Roald Dahl: There's this peach... Publisher: Is it - Roald Dahl: It's fucking huge

Capturing Christianity
Capturing Christianity@CapturingChrist·
You clearly didn't read the address this quote comes from. Pope Leo literally opens by honoring 19 religious martyred by Islamist violence in Algeria. The entire speech is built around that. Also, the Reconquista point is fascinating (ie: highly ironic) coming from a Presbyterian. You're claiming a campaign waged by militantly Catholic monarchs, enforced by the Spanish Inquisition, and carried out under papal authority as your own heritage. The same Spain that carried out the Reconquista would have considered your theology heretical. I mean, think about that. The deeper issue, however, is that the Reconquista and missionary presence in Algeria answer completely different questions. One is just war to reclaim sovereign territory. The other is how Christians live faithfully as a minority. Again, just read the address, my guy. Link: vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@Pontifex Are you serious? Catholics are being martyred every day due to Islam. Spain did not spend 500 years reclaiming Christendom from the Islamic empires just for you to say stuff like this.

@nickycantaloupe @redeemed_zoomer And if the pope was saying we should take up arms this yahoo would probably be mad about that too. Classic case of “he’s not on my team therefore everything he thinks/does/says is wrong.”

@redeemed_zoomer He shouldn’t be saying he desires peace between Christians and Muslims? Why not?

Look at what's happening to Europe now. Look at what's happening to Catholics and Anglicans in Nigeria. This is not something the most powerful Christian leader should be saying.

Those who present themselves as “Catholic” at pro-life marches and argue that Catholics should be involved in politics now, paradoxically, claim that the Vatican ought to confine itself to moral matters. It is the familiar script of a certain “ultra-Catholic” laity: the Pope is free to speak on political issues only when he reinforces their preoccupations; when he instead recalls principles that do not align with their causes, he is expected to remain silent.

Some of the arguments against the pope this week • Poor people are that way because of sin • People like Bill Gates are the good guys, actually • The Iran War is Lepanto 2.0 • All of the many times that Leo brought up the persecution of Christians don't count, only the times he didn't count • When he prays for peace, he is really criticising the USA and its right to exist, not addressing Ukraine, South Sudan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, DR Congo, Gaza, Thailand of any of the other dozens of conflicts underway right now • The election of Pope Leo for the rest of his life as pope was actually devised to undermine the 3 and a half years that were left in the Trump administration • The pope, who has a PHD, has never read the Bible • The pope, who is more conservative on abortion, same sex marriage, contraception, IVF and other issues than 99% of 'conservatives', is actually 'woke'
