Pope Francis was widely considered one of the most progressive popes in modern history.

Just hours after the death of Pope Francis, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia posted on X, formerly Twitter, “Today there were major shifts in global leaderships. Evil is being defeated by the hand of God.”

Previously, Greene, a staunch ally of Donald Trump, has drawn significant criticism for her remarks about the Catholic Church, particularly for accusing it of being run by “Satan” and supporting policies she views as harmful, such as aiding undocumented immigrants. In a 2022 interview, she claimed that the Church’s charitable work in helping migrants amounted to “Satan controlling the church,” which sparked backlash from Catholic leaders and organizations.

    My mom no fucking joke said „I hope he was at least right with god!"

    She’s full blown MAGA “Christian believer in gods plan” and of course hates all non white Americans.

          I always loved the image that if we assembled together all the people who wrote the first texts of the bible … it would be a group that looked and sounded like the Taliban

            assembled together all the people who wrote the first texts of the bible

            If we include the two people whose contributions were ‘rejected’ at the council of nicea, then ‘assemble’ would be right! (they were beheaded by the pagan who was gatekeeping inclusions)

          In many other places with functional healthcare systems, the response might be “let’s get you started on haloperidol”…

        I did that too, until my dad had a massive heart attack. Then I realized that I was letting facist steal what little time I have left with my parents from me. From then on I decided to attempt to ignore the fact that in my eyes my parents are fucking low life scum traitors, like the rest of maga, and try to remember who they were before fox news.
