Blue checkmark detected, opinion ignored
I think all of Twitter is probably better to ignore?
Can confirm, been doing it since forever.
I’m honestly not sure what Mr Pope was trying to say there.
its pretty bad grammatically. maybe he had one too many Jesus wines.
he’s american
ā€œActing with compassion will improve life for everybody.ā€
Your version is definitely more succinct.
Blows my mind that half of the USA think compassion is woke and to be avoided
This is by design; it’s difficult to demonize ā€œthe othersā€ if you have even a drop of compassion.
It’s not like they changed, they were already like this. We need to shame people about this more

That you have to have a heart. You have to believe in things, and see right from wrong

We’re losing that as a species. Laws aren’t a replacement for morality, but they’re treated like it

There’s no set of laws that could save us from global warming or bring the local community together. But these are very necessary things

The online sewer aka twitter

I didn’t want to do this, but I’ve had enough; I’m calling the lads:

I bet he didn’t see that coming.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Their chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear, fear and surprise. Their two, two weapons…
ā€œReturn to the heartā€ is just code for giving the alter boys prostate exams eh
Gotta admit, it takes some balls to mansplain Christianity to the Pope.
Isn’t the pope catholic?
Catholicism IS Christianity.
Wrong, only Gnostics are real Christians, demiurge stans don’t count
Why do people say catholics aren’t Christian? I’ve heard it a few times, it’s baffling.

I can’t help but read the pope’s text in the voice of Dagoth Ur.

Come, Nerevar, come and return to the Heart šŸŽµ

Too bad the stats on the responder got cropped.

If the pope got ratio’d by some guy mansplaining the bible to him, Christianity would have another schism

I did not have the rise of Austinism and a catholic crusade against (what I assume is) the US in my bingo card for late 2025.
Oh no, now we have evangelic christianity flavor #4743907, the other billion sects are going to be so mad there’s a new kid on the block
Psycho fucking evangelicals

Holy fuck, thats even worse that I imagined. Most places I’d seen that just cropped to just the first line of the reply, delightfully skipping all of the ā€œsin of empathyā€ heresy.

As depicted in the gospels, when Jesus was asked what the most important part of the law was our Lord And Savior literally said ā€œlove.ā€.

Bible Gateway passage: Mark 12:30-31 - New International Version

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ā€˜Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.ā€

So if you are a true Catholic you have to take the word of the Pope as the word of God. Catholics who disagree with the pope are hypocrites.

I thought his comment on the heart was just some made up bs. Turns out no, it’s not. It’s an old testament verse, but still in the Bible. As an aside, why do the evangelicals love the old testament so much? Is it because it gives more of a right to be judgy?

Jeremiah 17:9 NIV - The heart is deceitful above all things - Bible Gateway

From a skeptical translation point of view, I want to know if the word heart means the same thing today as it did then.

Bible Gateway passage: Jeremiah 17:9 - New International Version

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

The old testament is literally just there for context.

I had to learn that for myself because I wasn’t taught it while a baptist. I learned that as an atheist! Its just Tue new testament that matters.

From a skeptical translation point of view, I want to know if the word heart means the same thing today as it did then.

I’m sure that part is mostly accurate, but I think it’s talking about other people’s hearts, rather than one’s own.

In context, it’s trying to make a point about how one should trust god above men, because there’s no way for one to know how another person truly feels (but in theory god can).

You’d have to ask a theologian for an actual answer.

Full submission and obedience > true freedom

Makes sense to me

True freedom is achieved when the others have submitted to you.

Golden dragon text, Jesus trump. 1-2

In what manner did he reject it?
Excommunicate this bitch
The sub is clearly a protestants, so the Pope has no power to excommunicate
Oh, I thought the joke was that the guy was catholic and openly disagreeing with the pope
Yeah Pope said funny stuff like ā€œlocus of free freedomā€, whatever that is. But most "a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal and communal style of life… like ome on
It’s like a daisy chain in the special ed room.
I love watching crazy people fight
