The Pope needs to be Republican Jesus to appease these morons. Fuck the poor, fuck the different, and fuck the teachings of their faith.

Pope - Help the poor.

Guy - You arent a man of God!

A shame if so because I've seen people who are definitely not bots express the same sentiment. Trad Cath LARPers are definitely a thing.

Because a lot of Christians, at least in America, have a totally backwards view of what Jesus actually taught. They don't believe in Jesus. They believe in Republican Jesus. Which is very different
Even if you really do disagree with the pope, that's a hell of a comment to choose to respond to with that disagreement.

Jesus: Help the poor.

Pope: Help the poor.

Chud: Fuck the poor.

Their heads would explode if they took a minute to realize most Catholics are from Latin America (theres also a large amount in Africa).
This is not new for nutjobs in the Catholic Church. There are groups of them who don't think there has a legitimate Pope in decades.

As a Christian, this is amazing and sad at the same time. It's funny and depressing for the exact same reason: "Supply Side" Jesus is the savior of most "Christians" (read: almost the entirety of the MAGA movement), and he's about as far removed from the Bible as you can possibly get.

These "Christian" and "Catholic" followers are why I believe that God has taken a hands off approach to the Human race.

That's the point of the Church age, actually. It requires more faith to believe, but the promises are much greater.

I also think it's a bot because Twitter is like 90% bots from foreign countries trying to pass themselves off as Americans, but that doesn't really matter since so many American Christians would do similar crap.

I think conservative Christians these days are told to ignore any Biblical text that's in red because they obviously don't follow or even know any of Jesus' words and acts.

I've said it many times in recent years, will keep saying it. They are trying to prove Revelation right, but not in the way they think they are.

The last days church (we're in the very last of the last days, so basically what we're seeing in organized religion now) is described as lukewarm/making Jesus sick and that He will spew them from His mouth, so... I think it's pretty easy to see why if you take a look around.

And yet they're taking the wrong lessons from it by doubling down on the hate.

You really cant. I am not very active in the church but I know my archdiocese gives heavily to a homeless shelter and runs an after school program in the inner city for families that are poor.

It's worth pointing out that the US Catholic Church is overall one of the most conservative in the entire church. So much of the shit-stirring about Francis and Leo not being traditional enough comes from US cardinals (and the clergy in general in the US).
I...I shall consume.
Consume...consume everything.
Most of my family are conservative Catholic QAnon MAGA morons. Mostly college educated and wealthy too. Don't know how to explain that.
I've said it before, and no doubt these fuckers will give me cause to say it again, but if Jesus came back today modern-day "Christians" would crucify him again.

Mel Gibson is one of those. He still made up a quote from the Pope for his Jesus movie poster to try to sell more tickets, though.

it's always so strange seeing the lifelong people be like "hey we should probably feed the poor and treat the sick" and the midlife converts be like "according to this apocryphal verse in the ass end of a particular translation of the text we should reclassify women as livestock"

(paraphrasing a bit)

like...is it some weird affectation of the self-improvement mindset or something that drives horrible people to pick up religion as some kind of band-aid for them *knowing* their behavior is wrong?

These people weeping and gnashing over the rapture not happening makes sense. They voted for Trump with the belief he's the anti-christ to force the Rapture to happen, and it didn't.

Is this the same dude that was trying to correct the Pope about the bible? Or is this just a widespread thing amongst MAGA-Christians that clearly seem to have been brought up on a morality completely isolated from what the rest of Christianity is actually about?

The problem is that the Papacy is trying to creep, little by little, into the modern age, while the US right wing wants to return society to the mid Seventeenth Century.

Idk. Have you seen the Republican party? Mike Johnson and Vance are blatantly lying in our faces about why Democrats arent signing their CR.

And we do have useful dumbassess that blame "bOtH sIdEs" or will condemn Democrats no matter the deal they get out of Republicans as "nOt EnOuGh."

My only point is, we have useful idiots who mirror that bot talking points or in some form or fashion egg the sentiment on.
What's really funny about this is the people who hates the Pope are the poor people the Pope is talking about.

They're trying pretty desperately to become relevant again because their numbers are dropping.

This shift really started with John Paul II. There was a bit of a backslide with Popetine because the Church leadership was upset with how progressive (comparatively speaking obviously) John Paul II was but the Popes since Popetine have basically been working at making the Church more relevant in the modern day.

I'm not sure they'll ever actually succeed though, I think organized religion is slowly but surely on the way out in the West.

If these modern right wingers don't want to follow the good parts of their religion, but still want to appear pompous and virtuous, they should take a page from the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, break off from Christianity and Catholicism, and make their own religion. Only this time, make up some bs about how Mammon "reformed", and make him their new god.
