[Popeing intensifies]

[Mothra]

While I don't doubt that Pope Frank himself feels positive about what he's saying, he's  definitely saying it - or being allowed to say it - because the Vatican realizes it has a youth problem. Especially at home in Italia, where the "Our parents are economically murdering us all" attitude is neither new nor controversial (current youth jobless rate: 41.2%). Telling people how sinful it is not to constantly be having babies plays well with the generation with dozens of spawn and one foot in the grave, but not so much with the one that will inherit the country, can't afford to start a family, and rather resents those who kiss up to their ruthless elders. Spreading around the radical idea that maybe we shouldn't be systematically crushing people? A bit more resonant.

Amen.

I'm gonna believe that he's just a really good guy unless proven otherwise, but yeah, if this is a strategic move on the part of the Vatican, it's a smart one.

Which, to me, casts doubt on the idea of it being a strategic move on the part of the Vatican.

Fox News Reports: Pope Francis is the Catholic Church's Obama - God Help Us.  It's ... it's like something out of the Onion.

[Brentai]

I can't help actually laughing every time he lists John Paul II as a conservative.  Either he actually forgets what that man was like or is desperately hoping that everybody else does.

If Francis was the pope Adam Shaw wanted him to be, Shaw would be excommunicated for that article.

Benedict XVI and John Paul II refused to kowtow to the liberal agenda

The Second Vatican Council of the 1960’s aimed to “open the windows” of the Church to the modern world by doing just this

who does he think was pope during the nevermind

Well I always figured Fox News thought it was more Catholic than the Pope but this has got to be the first time they run it as an article

In addition to representing the Satanic religion, the monument “will also have a functional purpose as a chair where people of all ages may sit on the lap of Satan for inspiration and contemplation,” said Satanic Temple spokesperson Lucien Greaves.

Now THAT is some epic fucking troll right there.

[Cthulhu-chan]

Hmm, that is a pretty comfy looking lap.  8/10 Would sit.

And now I feel very sad about my 7/10 review.
