My god did Vance kill the Pope!
How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.
The poor pontiff wasn't used to being face-to-face with that level of evil and egotism. And he didn't think Vance would try to strangle him: "A message from Ratzinger! Bwahaha!"
I'm sory, did you just call the fucking Pope evil?
So…. The pope is evil? Did he do a woke?
He demanded compassion
If it were true that God defeats evil, Empty Greene would be a smouldering pile of ashes at a crossroads by now.
Karma is what we make it. The world don't care.
Vultures.
It's an alt-right social media trend: descend on the dead before they're even cold.
That said, MTG is still dumb as bricks. Says a lot about MAGA, what type of women they bring forth. Sorry if that sounds sexist - or if, the sexism is not mine.
A smart woman tends not to advance the cause of misogyny no. They kinda don't wanna end up like that chick from Handmaid's Tale who got reading banned for her gender and now she's bored.
You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?
Imagine the fun the world will have making jokes when this vapid bint exits the mortal realm.
Y'all would have killed Jesus.

Well he was from Palestine and had a darker complexion so most likely.
Is this what a good Christian sounds like?
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that's why they're Satanists

Good literate and understanding Christians know how to read the Bible and understand it is fiction storytelling, as is clearly spelled out. It is not a non-fiction history book. It is science fiction storytelling, very inspiring, like George Lucas Star Wars inspires people.
Bible verse John 1:1 - God is language and only language, God is words and only words, God is memes and only memes.
Bible verse "1 John 4:20" - how "I love Jesus" is wrong, how "I love God" is wrong, You can not love a fiction character in a story you have never seen, all hate of living human persons is wrong.
Bible verse '1 John 4:20" - repeating for emphasis: hate of all living human persons is wrong. Hate is bad.
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists
In the Bible storytelling, verse Romans 11:32 - www.Romans1132.org website I created to educate people on this topic - you will see it is plain as day that the story character "God" is the origin of all sins and that all sin is forgiven with mercy.
But ideas beyond Twitter-length mockery and mocking take a little more effort than snark and insults.
The Tower of Babel metaphor of humanity is one of the most important concepts in understanding why people behave the way they do over language usage and differences in interpretation. I created a Lemmy community for you @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social so you can better understand the complexity problems of diverse use of human languages in writing and verbal, electric media communications / media ecology study, and even body languages.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated following the death of Pope Francis on Monday.
I was born in Columbus Georgia and my brother Jeff lives in Georgia currently. There is a serious problem with Bible Literacy. I created a Mastodon electric media platform hashtag hashtag Bible Literacy Crisis on the topic.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a world-famous preacher in Georgia. We should be helping her better understand how to comprehend the imported Levant Bible storybook and not just using social machines to mock and dehumanize Marjorie Taylor Greene.

"The Baptist Georgia governor won a majority of evangelical Christian voters in the 1976 presidential election. Next time around, those voters had changed sides—for the long haul." ... "Before this sustained propaganda barrage, however, many of those questions had not yet acquired any hard-line partisan or denominational coloration—indeed, in 1973, when the US Supreme Court handed down its decision sanctioning the individual right to abortion, Roe v. Wade, Carter’s own Southern Baptist conference issued a statement supporting the ruling. Instead, Carter became vilified among religious conservatives for several specific policy decisions."
It's what a seven-degrees-of-schism fundie evangelical heretic sounds like.
Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?
Hopefully one that pisses hateful bigots like her off even more.

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.
Francis said that judgement should be suspended on gay individuals and theorized a gay cabal in the same sentence. That's different than being kind to them.
Even the pope is just a church organ. I meant, his "policy" if you will was more than just his own. It's doubtful that Vance's visit (I will run with the idea*) will bring forth a more conservative pope.
* "Rep. Nancy Mace (...) bizarrely insisted that a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance did not lead to the pope's death."
It's highly likely the next pope will be conservative. There are different factions within the Vatican (and the church as a whole) and they get turns putting their guy in the big chair.
Heretic!
I'm very afraid that the next pope will be somebody American catholic bishops would approve of. a trans hating, immigrant-hating asshole who will excuse everything Nazi America does like that one nazi pope did historically
Do you seriously think the Vatican is influenced by MAGA? Or by European far-right elements for that matter?
It's no coincidence, no outlier, that the last one was slightly more tolerant on certain issues. (Apparently enough to piss off more than one US christofascist.) I fear MTG will not see God's plan in whatever follows, either.
The American Catholic church hierarchy is reactionary and many of them are allied with MAGA. Think of shit-stains like Alito. Even Vance has converted to Catholicism, and there's no way a twised fuck like him signed onto anything that promotes compassion or human decency. He's more likely in it for the smell of incense, the Latin Mass, the Inquisition and the ancient tradition of diddling altar boys.
Do you seriously think they’re not?
Do you really think the cia/nsa doesn’t have compromat? Or that Putin doesn’t?
Or that rich fucks like musk can’t buy a priest?
Are you really so confident the organization that made a deliberate effort to protect men who sexually assaulted children is going to do the right thing because it’s the right thing?l
Just to be clear, I'm not defending the Catholic Church here. At all. Just calling out USians who think the world revolves around their country.
revolves around? no. I don't think that at all.
but I do know that roughly 28% of annual contributions come from the US, that the US is fourth on the list of 'most Catholics' by total numbers and the vatican would be pretty stupid to ignore those two points. and that is not even coming close to the question of corruption or doctrine.
Are they going to completely capitulate? probably not, but that doesn't mean there's no influence, either. Further, the vatican still opposes trans lifestyles doctrinaly, and Francis was the first pope to emphasize pastoral care over doctrine. It would not be difficult to imagine that conservative voices push back against that shift.
Thus I'm concerned that the next guy won't be as supportive of trans as Francis was. Remember, Francis ruffled more than a few feathers with his progressiveness, not just american bishops (who are straight up assholes.)
This is the result of 40 years of Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, Rush Limbaugh, and all the other Right Wing Grifters that followed.
They know the lowest of us love cruelty as comedy.
Let's not forget Alex Jones, still holding on with this bare teeth claiming "The State" is after him. (heard a curated interview with Fucker Carlson yesterday, what a cringefest)
