    In February, without naming names, the Pope directly refuted a Catholic concept Vance had twisted to justify deportations. Vance had cited ordo amoris—the “order of love”—to argue that Americans should come first.

    Francis responded: “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups.”

    Vance, acknowledging the rebuke, called himself a “baby Catholic” and admitted, “there are things about the faith that I don’t know.”

    Dude, I’m not Catholic at all and I could have told you that. It’s not really complicated to see that Catholic interpretation Jesus would whip you out of the temple.

    Dude all but endorsed Trump, called Harris a baby killer. Fuck him and his nonsense organization.

    Of course popes have a wonderful history of supporting authoritarian monsters.

    The rest of the world should take this approach. If everyone just plain ignored and ghosts the US’s emissaries it would be pretty funny.

      Well, they show a lot of compassion and support for all those accused priests.

      I don’t get the downvotes. My neighbours kid was abused while they had to deal with a psychotic other kid. The perpetrator, a catholic brothe, knew that and exploited the situation. They tried to cover up and denied everything. And that is only one reason to hate them. It was and is endemic. Greetings from catholic south Germany.

    Let’s hope no rumors swirl that JD killed the pope with a contact poison

    Did I not read a while back that he lost a fair amount of speech with his recent health troubles?

      I’ll never understand why people shit on him for fictional things when there’s plenty of real things to shit on him for.

      I honestly think it helps him/MAGA, because it teaches them, their supporters, and impressionable others that people make stuff up about him to criticize, so they can safely ignore criticism of him.

    Could it be claimed that JD killed the pope? Pretty sus that he had a brief meeting and the man was dead hours later.
