i cannot say this enough:
-
@blogdiva if I get to see MAGA Catholics heads explode (including the goddessforsaken SCOTUS “justices” and Vance, my queer crip Crone recovering Catholic butt will thank DaPope. Who knows?
@cynthia1960 @blogdiva When Cults Collide! But seriously, I can't wait to see which of my parents' child assaulting death cults wins their ideological civil war.

@blogdiva @mausmalone Sure, but that suggests most BIPOC Catholics were already against 47. Thus, this statement probably won’t change any of 47’s supporters’ minds.
It’s still absolutely the right thing to do, especially given the RCC’s history with Nazis the first time around. Maybe it will help drive other, more-heavily-Catholic countries away from far-right politicians.
1) the Catholic community in the US has been way less supportive of 47 than evangelical protestants. According to Pew crosstabs, his approval rating is already underwater with US Catholics and has been for some time. Even when you strip it down to just WHITE Catholics, his approval rating is basically even, 52%. His religious base is overwhelmingly evangelical protestants.
2) Pope Leo has been on a tear of giving sainthood to various priests who were part of the resistance under Nazi occupation. Worth noting that the Nazis created their own parallel "official" version of the Catholic Church when they found the real RCC insufficiently fascist. Poland, as you likely know, is and was SUPER Catholic, but by the end of the war basically the entire Polish Catholic clergy was dead, about 2/3 killed in concentration camps and most of the remainder summarily executed.
I feel like the JD Vance and his ilk are trying to recreate the Nazi's controlled internal version of Catholicism. Worth noting that a not insignificant number of prominent MAGA self-proclaimed "Catholics" are actually excommunicated or appear to have never been confirmed in the first place.

@blogdiva I saw the b-word in his statement and immediately clutched my pearls! He doesn’t drop the b-word for just any old sin.
@unfmeghan right?!?!? exactly my point.

@johnzajac @unfmeghan Cardinal Pizzaballa, the patriarch of Jerusalem, dropped the H-bomb a couple of weeks ago. he was in the short list for pope and also a Francis homie. you know this new posse of cardinals are not fucking around and am here for it (am still not going back to the fold, though).

I mean, I got kicked out of confirmation school for like, asking questions and my mom was like "we tried" :
:But also the RCC is so campy it's hard to let go completely when you're gay AF
But we are well past the point when they should've been flirting with the H word

@lackthereof @bob_zim @blogdiva the "traditional Catholics" are attempting to have it both ways: they don't want to lose the protection that comes with being perceived as one with the general mass of Catholics, but they're privately schismatic. Surely their total number can't be that many, but such Catholics tend to be the ones who advertise themselves politically.

i cannot say this enough:
IT IS A BIG FUCKING DEAL DAPOPE IS CALLING OUT #MAGA #TRUMP BLASPHEMY
Pope Leo is absolutely to the left of Pope Francisco on #geopolitics.
y’all don't need to whitesplain me why you hate the RCC. just reckon with the fact y’all witnessing something that hasn't happened in the history of the modern Roman Catholic Church.
The pope should officially excommunicate this devil…
