It seems off and on, I routinely have one downvote show up on every thing, including totally benign “hahah cute cat” type comments, or comments that are otherwise well received.

It started happening after I criticized Israel for genocide. (Specifically around the time that there was that giant missile barrage right at the start of the Israeli response.)

Checking my recent comments it seems to be off at the moment.

It stocking his minibar would probably save a few bucks.

Dude looks like he's a few hamberders away from croaking. but i've been saying that for a year or two now.

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.)

No more rhyming now! I mean it!

Fortunately; if god is real he got bored with this particular video game and moved onto some thing more exciting.

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

is there currently an antipope?

(edit, apparently there's 3. lol.)

fun fact... killing jesus was always god's plan. god set adam and eve up in the garden specifically so he could LARP as a Nice Guy™. In fact, not killing jesus would have condemned humanity to eternal suffering, and therefore would have been sin. Not that anyone had a choice, because it's all part of god's plan, right, and god's plan always comes to fruition.

If you believe in that sort of thing.

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

what? no. Trump would never use child soldiers.

He needs them in the factories cranking out more of his cheap-shit product lines like hats, ties and bibles with the constitution in them. If they survive the factories- then they get to become soldiers and die for him. he doesn't like losers, afterall.
