Counterpoint: fuck the pope, fuck the Vatican and the catholic church can get the fuck out of all of our lives. And the Mormon church too.

damn. i completely forgot to check whether the pope personally approves of my relationships

I can accept that there are larger trends this affects besides me and mine, but since he took the time to specifically call out me and mine, I feel like the polycule jokes are called for

“between one man and one woman” something gives me the feeling the pope isn’t motivated by women’s rights

Gonna be extra poly now.

Who cares?

Yes, all your wives. All of them.

I already expected immigration crackdowns would do away with “90 day fiancé” and resulting spinoffs.

As a monogamously married femme whose spouse is a man: the Pope can mind his own fucking business

my wife and i are going to marry the pope and he cannot stop us

Actually not. Under the Gospel it's seen as somethhing wich was accepted temporarily by Moses as due to it being entreched practice.

Christian marriage upheld by Church predates it owning big plots of lands actually.

why do you care, this is just dogma; the catholic church won't ever support polygamy

It's not Pope above Bible, but rather Sola Scripture vs Scripture+Church Magisterium and Church Tradition for its interpreting. With Church predating Bible (writing of new Testament and stablishing the canon)

Well, fuck you

Leo, you are cool and all but like, from an asexual to a celibate, you are about as qualified to instruct people about their sex lives as I am 😅

If monogamy was good enough for Abraham, David and Solomon it's good enough for us!

I feel like the pope should be playing up the purely practical and worldly challenges of poly if he really wants to discourage it. I don’t even like ranked competitive gameplay; ya’ll trying to do ranked competitive *relationships*? Nooooo thank you!

"I know we've been unsuccessfully trying to tell concenting adults what their relationships need to be since forever, but I really feel this time it's gonna work."

We should make their religion be an "exclusive union" between them and a padded cell. Stop telling people how to live their lives, youre only causing division where there isnt any. But then, thats the point of religion, isnt it? Make up your own group of rules to follow, attack the nonbelivers

opening up my marriage just to spite him

Odd. I would have thought the papacy would have decided the other way on this one. Imagine if he had though‽

well i'm just gonna fuck all my friends EVEN HARDER

The doctrinart note is new, the teachings definitely not. Same perennial teachings

Wait'll my wives hear about this!

"This just in: Pop is catholic!"

How the hell am I supposed to get a whole TTRPG party together without a polycule?!

If God intended sexual polyamory he would had made more than two gamete and genitals. So he makes sense. What is "creation" is what is not made by man. It's just people let sex into mind instead of body reproduction or as part of inefficient survival/abuse. Mono is necessary, poly is additional.

Not taking advice from child molestion enabler.

This is news? They also ban premarital recreational sex but apparently it’s OK as long as you marry the babydaddy before the kid is born & divorce him before the kid can walk. Or so I’ve been told by Devout Irish Catholic wimmin.

He’s certainly lost the Colorado City vote with this one

Talking about focus may be misleading. The pope magisterium covers a wide range of issues.

Probably face a cuop d'etat at some point

Counterpoint fuck Christianity Humans are non Monogamous, and the Trinity is Heresy

🖕

Has... has he READ the Bible? 😆

Not to mention the ironic think of a religion supposedly being about love, but that tells you that some forms of love are wrong. Do these forms of love hurt someone else? Nope, they just don't like them so they're wrong, for some reason. Not even the POPE follows his own fucking religion istg

And one could say, why do you care if you're not religious? Because there's PLENTY of people who mindlessly do whatever a celibate virgin old ass dude say without question, because again, ALL organised religions are CULTS.

The main point being: "who does this thing hurt?" Three or more people in consensual poly relationship, who do hurt? The answer is: "no one" But saying it's wrong because of some religion says so is cult-like. Religions are all cults, deal with it.

Wdym with been growing?

Oh cool. Doing something about child rape?

This may cause a scism between Mormons and the Catholic church...

Polyamory in Utah is polygamy-lite

The Holy Father upholding the perennial teachings of Mother Church.

Nobody's perfect. I'd still rather listen to him than to that criminal in the White House.

I notice Mr. Cait hasn't liked this tweet.

So, water wet?

BOOOO. No one cares what the pedo protectors think

In the future things will change and catholics will be together in Holycules

Even so, Prevost went to a seminary founded by Franciscans, Passionists, and Servites Three different religious institutes bsky.app/profile/real...

I see you, Utah

Why should we take relationship advice from men who famously are unmarried and celibate?

Monogamy?! In this economy?!

polyamory ≠ polygamy!! Very different things. 👉🧠👈 Use this. Polygamy tends to be barbaric and misogynistic. Your polycule is fine. Also, if you're not Roman Catholic then why care.

That's not going to stop those people already in or about to create future polygamous and polyamorous relationships.

Yes. Headline ve misleading. Doctrinal note is new, the content of the note is what Church affirsm as perennial, derived from revelation

Thanks for the idea; I added that to my profile. Zerogamous.

Beacuse the pope is reaffirming Church perennial teachings on marriage, while validating value given in Scripture to those who choose celibacy beacuse of love for Kingdom of Heaven

he's a confirmed bachelor?

Why would you take fucking advice from someone that doesn’t fuck?

can’t hear you over the sound of me having sex with multiple women but i’m sure it’s important

Thing is, for the Pope. He has to balance global issues against US/EU queer stuff. Not a reason to oppose new gender norms or gay marriage, but there are real tradeoffs on US/EU polyamory vs. rest of world bigamy/polygamy. A short 🧵

Damn, come on Pope, get with the times. Gay marriage is here to stay.

God explicitly punishes Solomon for having 700 wives and 300 concubines. The theology on polyamory isn’t good.

No one in the new testament. Christians are free to disregard just about anything that conflicts with it.

Francis started shutting down those child predators, with zero tolerance against them. While upholding traditional teachings on marriage, but with care for not excluding people from Mother Church
