The pope shouldn't have been dressed like that.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Such a sexy dress, he made Mike fail his masturbation pact.

Has his son confirmed this?

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The arousal was so strong even the son joined in the field masturbation, only for them to discover a deep seated incest fetish.

[-] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I think he was too busy masturbating to check if Daddy was also cranking it

"Didn't half give me the horn!"

Look up Derek and Clive discussing the death of the Pope for more details.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 98 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mike Johnson is not Catholic. He's a Christian Nationalist Protestant Evangelical piece of shit. They don't even have to pretend to give a fuck about the Pope.

[-] SarahValentine 44 points 1 week ago

Fair enough. Then so was Charlie Kirk.

Oh, not like that, huh?

[-] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A man under a tent with the words prove me wrong written on it while arguing against gun control getting shot was definitely the definition of asking for it.

[-] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago

Don't forget that he publicly stated that gun deaths are just the cost of having the freedom to bear arms. I, for one, commend him for putting his money where his neck is.

[-] hovercat 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

putting his money where his neck is.

Aww, "putting his neck on the line" was right there

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

I'm still surprised Erika hasn't tried to wangle a sponsorship deal with Rainbird sprinklers.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

don't forget wearing a shirt that said freedom

[-] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 36 points 1 week ago

We HATE the Pope!

-People who want the Bible to be Law!

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago

What you’re missing is that evangelicals think the Catholic Church is demonic.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

The Catholic Chick Tract is my third favorite one after D&D and the one blaming the Nazis on Catholics.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I got so much bizarre shit from some protestants growing up catholic. That's the sanest variant. There was also accusations of not being a Christian and of being a Satanist. Hell, I still occasionally hear protestants say Catholics aren't Christians

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's because you guys worship Ra, but are also satanists, but started the Nazis.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

They're split on that. I have family members who are white fundie evangelicals, and about a third of them I've spoken to regard Catholics as Christians, though they have doctrinal differences with them.

The other two-thirds are insane MAGA bigots who believe everyone's going to hell but themselves, and any sign of human decency is sinful. We don't hang out much.

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I have a Pentecostal family, they are 💯 % on the Catholics are demons train.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I like to ask that kind of xtian just where they think their religion even came from when they start up with that.

Same thing goes for when they start up about Judaism.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Worse yet: people who want their sub-literate, selective interpretation of the Bible to be law.

[-] chillpanzee@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

That's true of every religious faction.

Except for mine of course.

[-] MrSmoothPP@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 week ago

Mike Johnson is such a cowardly fucking liar

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Leo needs to call that punk ass out and show him how Chicago deals with Antichrists

[-] SarahValentine 13 points 1 week ago

Some years ago I would have laughed at the idea that the pope could be on any side of this but the wrong side. Then I found out just how stupendously, stupidly evil evil can get. I'm not laughing now.

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago

Are we gonna kill the Pope?

[-] CuddlesMcBubblefun@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

I mean, the DoD literally threatened exactly that

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 week ago
[-] CuddlesMcBubblefun@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Undersecretary Elbridge Colby summoned the Papal Nuncio to the Pentagon, said the pope better get in line with Trump, and referenced the "Avignon Papacy", a historical event where France kidnapped and killed the pope then set up a puppet Papacy.

Edit: Looking into it, the original story came from "anonymous Vatican sources", and has since been officially denied by both sides.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

has since been officially denied by both sides

Yeah, no surprise that they'd deny it.

[-] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

January 2026.

The DoD held a meeting with Vatican officials where they threatened them, saying the US has the military power to "do whatever it wants" and that the "Church had better take its side"

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 week ago

There was so much going on then, I must have missed this. This is insane

Again? I don't think they'll let Vance in now.

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Lots of folks are calling him turbulent

[-] grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 1 week ago

Where’s James Donald Bowman when you need him?

[-] frostysauce@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

A pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want, but obviously if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response and I think the pope has received some of that.

The actual quote.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

"And if it did happen, you deserved it."

[-] Vanderdeckenscopilot@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

These guys messing with the Pope is hilarious. I dont even do religion and I know this is gonna be fun. Are they going for the Henry the 8th method?

[-] baeb66@lemmy.today 9 points 1 week ago

I thought they were reactionaries in the "bring back the 1950's" sense, but they really want to bring back the 1500's. Mike is going to post his theses on supply side economics and neocon warfare on the front door of the St Louis Cathedral in NOLA.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I thought they were reactionaries in the "bring back the 1950's" sense, but they really want to bring back the 1500's.

Always have been. The notion that "conservatives" wanted to "conserve" anything but oligarchy (or literal monarchy, if they can get away with it) has never been anything but a lie to swindle the rubes.

I was totally thinking Vance had raped the Pope from the title… and then had to check for an onion.

[-] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

OMG! Mike Johnson raped the Pope?!?

/s

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Republicans are not and never were a party of faith. They are a party of marketing and lies.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Which seems totally congruent with a lot of religious people since they like being marketed and lied to.

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago

He should pray that His Holiness doesn't send or activate an embedded Jesuit.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Wow they're really afraid of the pope

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

Baby wines and says you had my wining coming.

Nothing happened to the pope and nothing will
