Love thy neighbor. That's all we need to live by. But two things I have no time for: religion and sport. Don't think I'd fit in very well in Vatican City.
Welllll. . . I could never afford to go to a playoff game, let alone a World Series game. Then again I am a Seattle Mariners fan, so not a whole lot of opportunities, even if I could afford to go. 🙃
He's been pope like what a week? Kind of hard for him to get rid of the pervert priests that fast after decades (if not centuries) of them getting away with it. At least on a number of issues he's on the side of good (immigration and financial ones - not abortion or LGBT.)
I guess the papal seat will be like the Fenway bleachers single red seat among the green seats to mark the Ted Williams longest HR. Would also be interesting to know how he secured the primo WS ticket.
He's against gay marriage and abortion.
Fuck the Catholic Church, every fuckind pedo and every enabler and priest who didn't have the guts to complain about it.
"Pope Leo can be seen in a moment when the camera cuts to the stands, sitting beside a young boy and an older man."
Wow.
Big news.
He's almost an ordinary human.
Truly touchy.
But wait.
He's not powerful deity anymore.
Truly tragic.
So what this meaningless shemozzle is all about?
I don't mind. What he became in the now counts. I don't know everything he approves or not. But he is sane concerning trumpism. And he condemns Russia.
You can view it that way and be miserable all the time or you can take some silver linings as wins.
Not that it'll affect much of the US anyway, politics is the new religion, choosing to align with a church seems to be more of an aesthetic choice determined by politics.
As an Atheist I don’t give a damn on what Pope thinks, it’s just interesting to me that the Left is venerating a religious leader after decrying Christo Fascism just because he supposedly dislikes JD Vance. That’s not a win either. It’s basic decency.
Your marriage is threatened by politicians in your country, not the Pope. The only influence the Pope necessarily has here is whether the Church recognizes your marriage.
Moreover, I don't intend to get married, I've seen enough divorces and people who should divorce but won't.
You think the Catholic Church is going to change just like that? Hell, their official teaching is that my very existence is due to sin, and that I’m broken and need to be “fixed,” and brought “back to a baseline.” That’s why I’m not Catholic.
Francis as far from perfect, but he had a major
Influence on the church and it looks like Leo is going to continue that change. It’s never going to be a church I will ever belong to, but it would be nice if they got to the point that the followed Jesus’ teachings more, and the current and past pope ARE doing that.
Listen, we're talking about a religion whose core doctrine is original sin.
We can't expect perfection, but we can demand progress as the portion of the world who do not subscribe to this religious doctrine, yet are affected by it anyway.
He seems to be progressive, so I'll take small wins 🤷🏻♀️
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that a religious leader influencing a large group of people is...less bad than he could be and seems to have some fragments of actual morality.
I just don't like this weird celebrity worship trend going on with the guy over it.
Celebrity worship seems to be a flaw that the US has had since the outset... I've never understood it.
Why do Americans care about the English Royals fr'instance? It's just weird.
The best part is that apparently Obama was at the game too, making it probably the only World Series game in history where both a future president and a future pope were in attendance.

It’s nice to see who he is as a human being.
I love listening to his brother talk about their childhood.
Wow.

More importantly he's not basically a Nazi like Benedict "Hitler youth" XVI.

And frankly, when the leadership of your country HAS no basic decency, seeing it in any leadership is refreshing.
2) there is FAR more to it than “not liking Vance.” Have you listened to his messages, statements, and homilies?

OTOH, it's nice to see a picture of a different powerful white guy besides the fascist dictator.
