"Pope is saying stuff that almost sounds like this hippie in Nasareth. What is he. A communist?"

That’s sums it up nicely

Next you will be telling me the Pope is a Cathoic or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

How cute is my church

As I also said previously… bsky.app/profile/otto...

Thanks. I understand that the Gospels were written some decades after the events described, and that nobody knows who the actual authors were. But in trying to assess whether the message within is being honestly interpreted now, that's not really important.

Went to a Catholic elementary school, with religious education every day. These are the kinds of messages we breathed in. Hegseth obviously thinks of Jesus in terms of tattooed slogans, like "Cape Fear's" Max Cady, or someone in a biker gang. No idea what kind of Jesus rural Evangelicals mumble to.

Blessed are .... any manufacturers of dairy products

as indeed you said

Wait till Rev Wells reads the New Testament 😉

I thoght up to now this happend in the 16th century?😱😂

On est en 1520 et on m'a rien dit ?

Maybe he's not a Protestant? His congregation should probably start questioning his creditentials

I’m a fan of anyone who is an enemy of Trump, within reason of course.

This ☝️

(high five in solidarity)

The Reverend Wells sounds like a real piece of work. Never heard of him before, but Google told me all I needed to know!

😂 gaaaaaahd.

Absolutely. But without context you would get a lot of conversation with strangers.

But THIS TIME they MEAN it

What is this urge to defend the indefensible? "liberal" is not "bad" nor "conservative," "good." Knowing the language takes us out of hypocrisy and delusion. "Losing" Protestants? Is the Catholic Pope now running for office? Like a common lying Republican?

Same here.

Exactly. I was raised Catholic but laughed at them even as a child (seriously, they have too many irrational quirks without even Biblical justification, like the sublimated goddess worship of Mary and the whole pray to the saints bit)...but these days they're the only religion that gets a pass..

You can't excommunicate me, I quit*! *5 centuries ago

😆😆😆

Well this Protestant quite likes Leo XIV. I was also quite in favour of his predecessor. Is the Catholic Church getting it’s mojo back?

So vor ca 20j gabs sowas wie die Wahlkabine halt nicht für Parteilen sondern f chr. Religionen. Die meisten Katholiken antworteten wie ev AB, die ev. AB wie ev. HB... Und solange es keine verheiratete Päpstin gibt ... Und Fundis liegen mmn immer falsch u sind gefährlich. Egal was.

😂

Splitters!

I think we should all cut the Pope some slack - we could call it an indulgence…

😄

Obviously I totally agree.

😂

The Cathars want a word!

I always wondered what those protestants were protesting...

It’s almost as if they’ve never actually read the Gospels

well quite bsky.app/profile/otto...

For sure! We shouldn't be helping the needy and feeding the poor! Why would anyone think that is a good idea? Next thing we know, he'll be telling us we need to have empathy and we all know how terrible that is.

Need to think about Reforming the Church!

Confused. Protestants in UK believe King is the one with God’s ear, not the Pope. Protestants worldwide don’t have a single leader, each denomination has its own set of leaders. Why would anyone think otherwise?

*nailing of theses intensifies*

The Reverand Jordan Wells is not a Cristian; not Catholic, Protestant or any other variety - he leads his own children into Trump's shadow.

Someone should tell him some history.

😂🤭🤭 PSA: ALL CRUSADES ARE OFF! I REPEAT: ALL CRUSADES ARE OFF!

Lex Luther?

Had to look that up! Thank you !

Very good. Nothing like a Diet of Worms!

"Reverend" Wells' tweet and the fact that both Francis and Leo are the best Popes in my lifetime (at least) should explain why my virulent disgust towards religion per se, its backwards repression and fascist-supportive cultlike ecosystem, does not necessarily apply to the Catholics of late.

I could accept our differences over Lutheran protestations codified at the Edict of Worms, but advocating social justice was a step too far.

I just actually laughed at the whole notion that the Pope is liberal - the opposite being the main reason my parents and many of their generation LEFT the Catholic church in the 60s and 70s! Strange times indeed

especially when Felon47 plays Jesus, right?

My imaginary deity is better than your's.....

Canadian Protestants are mostly in favor of this Pope.
