Religion: Communion Toast Crunch

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

I hope this is why the new pope chose his name:

The General consensus seems to agree that’s the reason. He’s very dedicatwd to south america and advocstes for venezualen Migrants

So the Justice Department will label him a terrorist?

Article I read said he's expected to continue Francis' reforms.

Quoted one of the most pro-LGBTQ faces of the Catholicism. He’s expected to be quite progressive on human rights from everything I’ve read this year.

That the dipshits hate him tells me everything I need to know.

“And also with youse”

 

[Kepler]

Put these next to Jesus's Lambo.

I'm choosing to believe that the choice of a "progressive" American to be the new Pope was a deliberate big ol' middle finger to all the fascist magats out there. They are losing their minds over this and its delicious.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

This is a wild fantasy of mine, but my hope is that this is the last straw that leads to another schism wherein the archconservative bigots elect their own pope and excommunicate the moderates.

I have more in common with the new Pope than my next door neighbor. He's Catholic, I am not.

I am a lapsed and renounced RCC apostate and I have more respect for the job and the last two men who accepted it than I ever have before, despite my frustrations with the glacial pace of social progress in the Church.

FUCK YES RIGHT INTO MY VEINS!!

Of course, he identifies as white, but his family history shockingly ties him directly to Black and Creole communities in Louisiana.

A genealogist with the Historic New Orleans Collection, Jari C. Honora, made the discovery the same day Leo XIV was named pope. And the pope’s older brother, John Prevost, who still lives in Chicago, confirmed the bombshell findings to the New York Times shortly afterwards.

“This discovery is just an additional reminder of how interwoven we are as Americans,” Honora said late Thursday. “I hope that it will highlight the long history of Black Catholics, both free and enslaved, in this country, which includes the Holy Father’s family.”

According to his findings, the pope’s maternal side can be traced back to the 1840s’ “free people of color” in New Orleans— a city with a significant Catholic population— Honora told Forbes. Pope Leo XIV’s maternal grandparents and his mother’s older siblings, were “identified in records as Black or mulatto” in historic documents, although they “passed … into a white racial identity” after moving to Chicago.

That’s where Leo’s mother, Mildred Martinez, was born in 1912, according to her birth certificate obtained by the New York Times. But before the family migrated north, the pope’s grandparents lived in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward, an historically Black neighborhood which has a 74 percent Black population, according to bestneighborhood.org.

I saw earlier today he had Creole ancestry and was telling a friend that I absolutely LOVE that fact (mostly because I am a huge fan of Cajun and Creole food which in my opinion is the greatest food in America)

 

[Stauber1]

His first homily starts with how Christians are so persecuted, ends with an unequivocal attack on secularism and fear mongering about atheists. Color me unimpressed.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Yeah, that's typical. Everyone is a victim. Trump is the biggest one of them all.

I went to a "Creole" restaurant in Manassas today run entirely by Chinese. Their Cajun sauce was Thousand Island Dressing. I am not making any of that up.

There is a lot to unpack here.

Living in Idaho, the mere mention of the words Creole or Cajun draws confused look.

Ketchup is a bit too flavorful and spicy for these chucklefucks.

Well it's Manassas.
