I'm Catholic. My main issue with Francis is he is still anti-gay marriage. Otherwise, he's a good Pope. That's a BIG issue to me, though. But, compared to the predecessor, he's a lot better on gay rights.

I literally said how they're different. The pentagon can just nod and say "sure sure whatever" for a thing like the trans tweets because ultimately they're the only party reacting directly to it-- if they do nothing and he does nothing, nothing happens. If he goes "maga maga we're invading Iran" then Iran is gonna start doing poo poo commensurate with having war declared on them. The pentagon will have to do something as far as that goes, even if Trump doesn't do anything further.

I'm a non-practicing Catholic, but my wife's family is very catholic, and pretty conservative. I think he's a great pope, and my wife's family love Francis. A big part of the love for him is that he doesn't just talk the talk. He still just takes a regular car when going places, and there were stories of him sneaking out to feed the poor when he first became pope.

Glad the bar is set so low for the Pope that " He doesn't actively tell us to murder the gays, so he is okay with me". Catholic Church and the Pope is a antediluvian mysgonistic cult that perpetrates some of the worst ideals for the human race and still advocates against the use of condoms in African which is one of the reason HIV is so widespread among other things like conspiring with literal Nazis, covering up the rape of children, basically theft from the poor, torturing people who are dying by withholding pain medication etc.. etc.. All while their leader literally holds court from a throne of gold. Popes not cool and anyone who thinks that has bought into their bullshit propaganda.

^like seriously, do you understand anything about the power struggles within the church?Covok posted:I'm Catholic. My main issue with Francis is he is still anti-gay marriage. Otherwise, he's a good Pope. That's a BIG issue to me, though. But, compared to the predecessor, he's a lot better on gay rights. he can't just overturn catholic doctrine like that. If he would go for some big flashy move he would be out on his rear end and everyone of his school of thought would be marginalized as all hell. the longer he spends as the pontiff the better since his allies can become an institutional force unto themselves. the catholic church is literally the oldest institution by a huge margin to this day, and you drat well better believe it has 2 millenia worth of resistance to change to overcome.

Sure is a lot of money for a organization that doesn't publish any financial records whatsoever I'm not arguing the Catholic Church doesn't donate money or set up charities. I am saying that no amount of money buys you a free pass to be a piece of poo poo organization Bill Gates can donate 50 Billion dollars to charity but that doesn't give him a free pass to murder one person each year

Giggy posted:I know part of Russia's 'plan' was to undermine American's faith in their democracy, institutions, etc. But it really seems like their leaders have no clue how the government works and genuinely thought Trump could strong arm everything. They may be legit pissed, but this does fit perfectly well in the undermining-American-democracy bit. They're encouraging Trump to feel humiliated by congress and further antagonize them in hopes it will whip up segments of the population in turn. Basically spreading the notion that the US government's checks and balances are a bad thing that should be curtailed. If there's been a consistent message in all of Trump's political career starting from his campaign, it's that the American system of government and its purported values are terrible and power should be consolidates to a central authority (in this case Trump). The Republicans are not fair, the democrats are crooked, the election is rigged, the media is the enemy, congress is lame, the military is dumb, the intelligence community is incompetent and untrustworthy, POWs are losers, I doubt any aspect of the American government or generally western democracy and liberalism will escape the treatment by the end of his term. Even the implied message of his campaign slogan was "America sucks".

EngineerJoe posted:Zuckerberg is going to win the democratic primary and lose to trump in 2020 He's going to do what the GOP feared Trump would do, which is lose the primary, run as an indie and lose the election for the party whose nominee he wanted to be. He's exactly the type of person to be so high on his own supply to think he can run as a third party candidate and win. The mere fact that he's planning a bid signals it. If he was serious about going into politics he'd look into lower level runs instead. It's the Ralph Nader syndrome of deciding that everything revolves around the Presidency and the presidential election, which amounts to getting a couple of points in the election to tilt it this way or that and then going radio silent for the next 3½ years. Edit: "But Trump had no experience and won!" Yes, but you are not going to out-Trump Trump. Of course the bigger problem is that he represents all the things that are horrible about the Democratic party right now. Sulphagnist fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Aug 3, 2017 |

A big flaming stink posted:dude the catholic church donates north of 4 billion a year to charity. that gold is a pittance by comparison. besides, dude was a loving jesuit, they are all about the vow of poverty and simple adornments, as francis has done. You can gently caress right off with this, mate. The Church, in my tiny country alone, owes the State €1.4bn in restitution payments to sexual abuse victims, which it refuses to pay. Oh, and that money has nothing to do with the thousands of women who were kept as literal slaves for the crime of becoming pregnant or being born with learning difficulties. Or the septic tanks full of hundreds of little kid skeletons that have been uncovered, blameless little kids left to die and then interred in a big tank full of poo poo. Oh yeah and the cool new Pope is right now sheltering one of Australia's top clerics from facing justice for loving kids. And was actively involved in shuttling rapist priests between dioceses to avoid prosecution, just like Ratzinger. Seriously, gently caress you.
