This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Am I being overly cynical, or is the Pope more of a celebrity than a politician?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

since the church has no military/economic power, his influence is purely cultural so yes the pope is basically a celebrity.

Wouldn't the Catholic Church be closer to a corporation in that sense? With all the churches they own and the land those churches take up. Granted, even within that framing, the pope is arguably still more celebrity than CEO, if only because there is such contention with the Catholic Church and trying to make any sort of decisions that have broad impact on Catholic practice risks another schism.
