It helps that Leo is incredibly, incredibly good at this, and seeing competent people in charge of things being competent in ways that fuck horrible people over is a really nice change of pace at the moment

there are DOZENS of us!

Evil must be liquidated with extreme prejudice, yes

Honestly, I'm having a blast. My doctorate coursework and all that Latin, for once they're useful!

I went to a university that was founded by an anti-pope*, and even I'm cheering for the guy in the Vatican * St Andrews, founded 1413 by Anti-pope** Benedict XIII in the Avignon line, although by then he was in exile in Perpignan ** not to be confused with anti-anti-pope John XXIII who was in Pisa

i am a born atheist and this is a whole new feeling for me

Also... the Pope/Church will be there whether we like it or not, so I would like slightly better church more than slightly worse church.

I'd settle for being to the left of Jen Rubin and Charles Barkley

I'm busy doing auction shit, I don't have time for men who think I need to be seriously educated on whether or not the pope believes in abortion. I live in fucking Alabama, donate to an abortion fund and go the fuck away, random man.

I mean I think the pope would abolish ICE

What I think people on here want is legit shame consequences like what the Pope did.....not execution consequences like what MAGA wants.

My wobbly agnostic/atheist self was ready to join a crusade when he denounced AI

Too bloody true.

Imputability We have a president who is devoted to keeping himself outside any circle of imputability Sadly he's had powerful enablers Mainly tho not exclusively the Senate and the Supreme Court bsky.app/profile/real...

right? This is popcorn time! (Another former medievalist)

i can't even lie between the pope denouncing the schism and essentially saying every single one of them is going to hell and mitch mcconnell having a heart attack on the same day the true evangelicals are winning me over. if there is an antichrist it is definitely trump

It really is this, isn't it? I have no ties or any love for the church, but at least someone is treating fascists like the filth they are

Exactly right, Bree.

I find the whole affair is enlightening and interesting.

tbh, this is why I love this franchise
