"frociaggine"

Italians will really be hateful and then do it with a goober-ass sounding word like this. Like okay pope boyardee u gonna call me the devil's fettuccine next?

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

dawg, it's the same in english, half of y'alls slurs sound like goofy shit, like what the fuck is tr___, it's just the word trans but the creative transphobes changed it a little

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

No it's about vehicle transmissions! maddened

[-] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago

I kept telling people Francis was a moderate, even within the church. To the Jesuits he's arguably a reactionary.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean, he had connections to the last argentinian dictatorship and knew about the desaparecidos --> https://www.laizquierdadiario.com/Jorge-Bergoglio-la-dictadura-y-los-desaparecidos

He IS a reactionary. He was whitewashed by the Kirchnerist-Peronist gov, after becoming the Pope. I still remember him in the march against same sex marriage. Fuck Bergoglio.

On the other hand, Father Mugica was the based one. A member of the Movement of Priests for the Third World. And murdered during the Triple A phase of the repression against social movements.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Yeah it really shows when people have only interacted with American Catholics. In pretty much everywhere else in the world, Catholics are either rich and like the American ones, or poor and based. Well, not 100% based, trans rights are too controversial even in the leftmost communities, but definitely way to the left of Francis.

Isn't the Jesuit order like, all over the place on the political spectrum?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Yes, some of them, mostly in Latin America and parts of Africa, are progressive (in favor of social justice, which is a word created by the Jesuit order). But I heard they are reactionary in North America and the Anglophonic world.

smh come to Poland you'll hate catholicism as soon as you set foot here

[-] [email protected] 53 points 1 month ago

I don't need to come all the way to Poland to hate Catholicism tbh

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

Fair. But don't you want to hate it more?????? Huh??? kom tu polen :cri:

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

I've actually been to Poland! I had a great time honestly

As a non-binary person that grew up in an insanely devout Catholic family from Trinidad and Tobago, I don't think that's possible for me, even with a visit to Poland.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

100% this, growing up around it will make you loathe it. For every 3 cool liberation theologians there's like 500 reactionary clergy.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

OMG I'm an ex catholic, pls do tell!

What the fuck. And I thought blessing a server room was the weirdest thing I knew.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Blessing a server room actually makes a lot more sense than exorcising veganism.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Poland really is a state of mind huh?

South Africa has some of the worst evangelicals though, like the pastor who sprayed his followers with Doom insecticide to "cure HIV and cancer", and was found guilty of assault.

Warning, graphic images in the article.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Power of faith is awesome, it can even convince people to think an insecticide named literally Doom is a miracle cure.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Now I know 3 punk bands thar are also bug sprays. Black Flag, Anti Cimex and Doom

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

Once again, people are realizing the Pope is in fact Catholic

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

Since when does hexbear favor the Pope or any papists

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

When Hexbear critically support the Papists' campaign against Calvinism with burger characteristics.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

It might be a joke...

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

I mean yeah, his entire "progressive" persona was a marketing tactic to try to get young people back into the church. Reddit atheism wins again!

His Holiness Niccolo Mullenino

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

"Good for a pope" still leaves plenty of room to be massive disgusting asshole.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

The bar is just very very low.

The Italian version of beanis gets snagged by the slur filter

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

living close to the pope must be the worst thing since the house of hannover became british popes

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

The context is not funny, but the translation itself was very funny to me.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

frociaggine

Sounds like some gay magic in a very colorful TTRPG game.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

It’s okay, he is a closeted gay, he can say it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Reading the headline got me to hope that it was the cute slang word that refers to gay people as a spice, because Italian

(it wasn't)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Not my woke pope

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The Pope has an excellent PR team where he gets to be quoted, almost out of context, and often in casual and unofficial conversations with the press, gaffes if you will. And then his bishops and cardinals go “acktually, it’s still a sin to be a removed”.

If you are interested in Catholicism as an avenue or source of radicalism: a) you are putting the cart before the horse; Catholic/Christians radicals are radicals first and Christians second. b) Religion, despite theologians and their protestations is also affected by historical and material conditions, so it’s really funny when you read an encyclical from the late 1890s where the communists are a radical and malevolent threat, and then you read an encyclical in 1991 where they are like “uwu capitalism, please stop being mwean to workers”.

Appreciate that the pendulum is swinging leftward but do not expect any changes that are not directly caused by our own work and demands, although watered down.

I dunno if I’ve said this here: but spirituality, god, or gods should not be ceded to right wingers. It is a component of the human experience and we need to wrestle with Communism and its exchange with religion.
