Nooo! Not the filosophy of Christ! We're supposed to keep crucifying rational people and then ask for or buy some redemption 🙏

Why seem Americans to call everybody Marxist they don't like?
I don't want to troll, I am really interested in an answer.
A Red Scare is a form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise of left-wing ideologies in a society, especially communism and socialism. Historically, red scares have led to mass political persecution, scapegoating, and the ousting of those in government positions who have had connections with left-wing movements.

It's just a boogeyman word to make them sound scary. Laura Loomer literally does not know what marxist means beyond "communism". In fact, she doesn't even know what communism is, she has just been told it's bad.
I mean... It's Laura Loomer. She's like bottom of the barrel QAnon nazi.
To be honest, it's the first time I read about her. I didn't know her before.
She was briefly on Trump's plane. Around the debate with Harris. It's likely he took the "eating the pets" line from her, since that was a rumor spread in nazi circles, particularly on Gab.
It's also possible they had an affair during that time. MTG got really angry with Loomer and they started trashing each other on Twitter for all to see. It was glorious.
ah! I did not know it was her.
Thanks for the pointer!
Only the fascist Americans do that.
They're trying to scare the moronic hillbillies into thinking Marxism is bad.
so just plain old propaganda?
Ok, thanks.
Catholics don't have anything good to look forward to
Well you've still got children to prey on. So you've got that going for you.
Well well well, no need to sell him even more, I already like him
Except for his covering up of child molestings and his stance on LGBT and female priesthood he seems alright.
But that means he's still a step down from Francis and it still means he won't bring the church into the 21st century.
But I guess it could have been way worse.
Thats very much true as well :(
Damn, they make him sound way more based than he is.
I got excited when I saw Marxist and then realized who wrote it. Genuinely thought this was gassing up the pope at first.
MAGA are demonic. They are literally driven by hatred and evil, and those that lead them pray only to money.
Can we bring back excommunication?
The problem is that many of the Christians in the US aren't Catholic. Thus, it probably won't help if the pope excommunicated them.
Jesus is NOT alright with Republicans.
Not the Jesus of the New Testament going by his teachings, and not the Jesus that literally labors for the very food the raging hypocrites eat.
Atheists like myself at least don't care about Jesus Christ. But as someone raised Roman Catholic, with a grandmother that recognized the benevolent teachings of the New Testament, I can verify one of the Republican's apparently ridiculous claims is absolutely true:
There is absolutely a war inside America against Christianity.
Republicans are the ones waging it though, as they worship a gold plated nepo slumlord gameshow host idol no less.
If Loomer hates the new pope, that's the only endorsement I need to hear!
Oh cool, glad to know these people hate him. That's a good sign to me.
Fucking high praise and a strong endorsement right there.
Heh, instead of the college of Cardinals, they should have just sent a list to trump and picked the one he ranted on the longest.
Let me translate for you:
“This is the new pope.
His name is Robert Prevost.
He models Jesus in thought and action.
Maga have nothing good to look forward to.
Just another selfless caring individual in the Vatican.”
He models Jesus in thought and action.
Let's see him in action, first.
He's against climate change and racism, but for homophobia and transphobia and somewhat neutral on misogyny, according to Wikipedia. I think you're giving him too much credit.
Hilarious to call the pope Marxist. Wasn’t it Marx who called religion the opiate of the masses? Few communist countries tolerate religion much at all.
He didn't say that as a bad thing.
The Communist Manifesto spends time talking about how compatible early Christian teachings are with Marx's goals.
As with the "abolition of private property" people quotes what's convenient. The whole quote goes:
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Marxist puppet? Are these "Marxists" in the room with you right now?
Who would be pulling the strings for Marxists in 2025? Uh... Cuba? Lemmy.ml? Lenin reanimated as a Communist Lich King?
My heart wants the second coming of Karl Marx himself, but my gut says zombie Stalin

Don't threaten me with a good time
Had me in the first half
I understand now!
As a cardinal, he was fine.
But when a cardinal becomes Pope, he dies and also goes woke.
Now, we can remember his name.
His name... Is Robert Prevost.
His name is Robert Prevost!
His name is Robert Prevost!
His name is Robert Prevost!
Ugh us Americans from the USA don’t seem to understand how arrogant it is to say he’s the first American pope. Argentina is in South America. This guy is the first North American pope, or better yet the first pope from the United States. This is going to bug the shit out of me.
Edit: Because I’m genuinely loving the downvotes (you really felt it when I called you arrogant, huh), if the next US president was from North Dakota, we wouldn’t say they were the first president from Dakota, would we?
I fully get the criticism, but US Americans are the only ones that identify, and are broadly known as "Americans," so it just feels pedantic to me.

Ha, hardly. He's also anti-LGBTetc and standard issue cover for kiddie diddlers.
While that certainly doesn't speak well for him, wouldn't it be more of a surprise at this point if they chose a pope that couldn't be described that way? This is the catholic church we're talking about.

That bitch is scary as hell
Have you seen her face? She did that on purpose.
Wondering how long it will be until some sordid child sex scandal in Chicago is uncovered with him at the head.

I wonder what kind of pizza he prefers. It would be funny if chicago pizza caused a schism in the church.

Lol, if that’s true, maybe I should convert to Catholicism. Sounds good to me.
It’s funny how much the right hates Christianity, while wearing its clothes and speaking its language.
