Orange Catholic bible when?
May 2021
https://godblesstheusabible.com/
It's based off New King James, which is the official Catholic text. This is the Orange Catholic Bible.
Don't forget the official White House image of Pope Trump. https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1918502592335724809?lang=en
Edited to correct date from 2001 to 2021. My fat fingers tell all the lies.

Hahaha, I totally forgot about this, but the reference is almost scary in a way. Life imitating art and pretty fantastical elements of science fiction becoming reality.
I mean... a religious leader accusing people of being "passive consumers of unthought thoughts"... am I the only one seeing some irony here?
Not that I particularly disagree, but an ironic messenger.
Being the head of the longest-running pedophile ring in history doesn't give one much high ground to chastise from.
What a weird world we live in.
I am an atheist (albeit I support our national churches/religious entities and believe they should be state financed) and it is fascinating that I agree with Leo XIV on an ethical, moral and even theological/spiritual level.
P.S. While I don't believe in a meta-physical, abrahamic tradition-style god, I do think there is a lot of wonder, beauty and even sacredness (divinity) to the cosmos. Something along the lines of this quote from a book by Alan Watts:
The universe is the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe. And you’re not something that is a result of it. You’re not something that is a sort of byproduct of it. You are it. It’s like when you take a bottle of ink and you throw it at a white wall. Smash! And all the ink spreads out. In the middle, it’s dense, isn’t it? And as it gets out on the edge, the little droplets get finer and finer and make more complicated patterns.
So in the same way, there was a big bang at the beginning of things and it spread. And you and I, sitting here in this room, as complicated human beings, are the little fringes on the edge of that bang. We are the way it’s going now.

I honestly though Pope Bob would be a bit sterner on Trump, but it's Pius XII over again.
Who cares what the head of a child molesting cult thinks or said.
Interesting, I thought an AI Jesus/Pope would be a benefit for the Catholic Church. I mean look at what they used the last centuries to bring people into believers.
He's just mad the church of shrimp Jesus is leaving him in the dust.
