Many of these people in US concentration camps are catholic. The thing that’s crazy is how many insane catholics like JD Vance are cheering this on.
Vance is part of a specific far right hyperpolitical faction of Catholics that he adopted via his patron Thiel.
There are a lot of people who wear the label catholic because they always have, not because they identify with other catholics or believe that the pope is the earthly voice of god.
JD Vance is a fascist white supremacist who happens to be catholic. The fascism and white supremacy being more important to him than the catholicism…
It’s literally in their Bible… This should just be standard. Not special.
Yep. Also Catholic official “recommended ideology of state” was distributivism last time I checked, which is something of a holy mix (can’t be unholy mix in this situation) between anarcho-capitalism and anarcho-syndicalism with a conservative touch.
It has its downsides, but the upsides are that limiting immigration, legal inequality, racism and fascism are in theory not allowed there.
(Just in case someone thinks Peter Thiel and such people’s ideas are what Catholic church recommends, and they surely want to make such an impression, - no.)
Jesus’ family were supposedly immigrants and asylum seekers. Priests should step up. So should real christians.
“REAL CHRISTIANS”.
They’re all real christians, just some ignore the hate speech, and pretend it’s not part of the religion while most don’t ignore it at all. Fuck your hate religion, and the hate that it spawns.
The fascist people in charge of the deporting, the fascist militia, and the rest of the christians on the sidelines funding and supporting them - they’re ALL REAL CHRISTIANS.
Stop following their hate religion. Nobody on the outside thinks you’re part of anything but a hate religion, even if you have good intentions. You’re surrounded by people with bad intentions, and nobody can tell you apart.
I’m an atheist. That doesn’t mean I can’t tell the difference between those who are claim to be christians and those who actually try. It’s probably 100:1 in favor of fake christians, if not more.
Way, way more.
Christians are supposed to follow the teachings of Christ. The old testament is just context. Jesus’s only extended story on what earns salvation or damnation is about the treatment of the poor, imprisoned, the sick, and foreigners.
What about pedophiles? How does he think they should be handled?
I dont know about the pope but i am a fan of:
If they have not wronged children: therapy
If they did: prison & therapyYou can’t cure it with therapy, and the Catholic church protects and habors pedophiles. I don’t give a damn what he says. The church is a cancer and needs to be destroyed. If you support the church you support pedophiles.
Likely with kid gloves
😂 🤣
‘People of Faith Stand with Immigrants’
Yeah, I don’t think “people of faith”, at least the more conservative ones, are going to be taking that lesson very seriously… Good luck changing their mindset.
🤷♂️
Evangelicals are not, but there are progressives within the ranks of christianity. The actual message of the new testament is down right socialist.
Jesus died a pacifistic anarchist at the very least
What do you think the word “communist” meant before Marx?
the only higher power conservatives believe in, even the religious ones, is fox news
close but not quite, trump is the higher power. when fox didnt 100% back january 6th and trumps mission to steal the election, many of them called to boycott fox news. If they have to choose between fox and trump they will choose trump. In reality this probably wont happen again cuz fox learned their lesson.
I have no problem with the catholic church standing on the right side of history. those kinds of American Christians already think they’re superior to the pope, so what is the difference?
The catholic church: “We’re better than everyone else, even the presence of a priest on your behalf will get you special treatment.”
No. No, it won’t. No, it shouldn’t. Ever.
Fuck religion and fuck those that support it.
If youre in a position of power, why not use it for good? Yeah, they shouldnt have it in the first place but in a crisis those sorts of discussions are less important than protecting the vulnerable.
Just like joining a military, some people are born sheep and need to cling to a rigid structure to thrive. Without it, you have all sorts of nasty consequences from people who can’t self-actualize and need to believe in being part of something magical that has a plan for them.
Not something I’d ever want for myself, but as I get older I’ve come to realize that there are many people, people that con artists like Reagan, Trump, McConnell, and every Mega Church leader ever, capitalize and prey on because they need to be told what to think to feel safe.
I don’t think the answer is to abolish the crutches of the weak minded, so much as for society through representative government to regulate what they teach to minimize the potential for turning the structure weak minds crave into a potential army of useful idiots for those that would coopt such movements.
Good on the USB, got the religion right. You know who doesn’t? People who hate their neighbours, casted stones in the capitol and know compassion only for their own.
These people pretend to be religious, because it happens to be popular with conservatives, not because they understand religion
Don’t make me like you, kiddy diddler.
Sometimes working with people you dislike to do a good thing isn’t a bad idea. No True Scotsman fallacy is why America is where it is now.
