Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Pissing of the Catholics is a great recipie for getting your party elected come the midterms, especially with a side of blasphemy.

It seems like more american catholics have their allegiances with Trump than with the Pope for some weird fucking reason.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Here we go again, yet another schism.

you'd think god would come down and endorse one of the 44+ thousand sects that already exist.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No sects please, we’re missionaries.

Care to post the numbers instead of speculating?

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

"It seems like" are his first words, so no?

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 0 points 1 week ago

What? No. If you want the numbers you go look for them.

Guy wouldn't even be pope if Trump hadn't sent JanceDanceVance to kill the last one.

"WEAK om crime" 😂

This is the "how many divisions does the pope have" of 2026.

"They are eating the wafers and wine!"

I hope Vance is losing a lot of sleep over this.

[–] DGen@piefed.zip 5 points 1 week ago

So much bs Out of Taco, he must be breathing through his bottom end

[–] soatomic@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

American Catholics do not care about the pope.

They think of the pope as a politician.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Thank God they don't consider Trump a politician. Just a honest man divinely inspired to do what is right.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm enjoying clicking on your links. See you on the other one!

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Guess who's back, fuckface!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Statistically, the Vatican has more than two Popes per square kilometer. How many sane presidents per square kilometer does the US have?

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

About 10.2μL/km^2^

we don't have square kilometers in statesia. all ours are fat. check and mate

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

I mean most every leader was put into office specifically becuase of him. I mean since his birth they immediately started making decisions based on his eventual rise. Heck even the prophesies and legends of his coming...

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I mean, someone once said the world would only see an American pope if America's position in the world severely changed. It makes sense; I can see where having America as powerful as it is plus that connection to the Vatican could be an issue.

Guess who severely changed America's position in the world
