Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
-Óscar Romero

I know a lot of Hexbear will be crab emoji-ing, but I’m genuine sad at his passing.
I’d like to think it happening on Easter is symbolic of something.

It happened the day after Easter.

And yes, I fear the next Pope will be worse.

He appointed 80% of the current cardinals, so I have hope.

We may see Pizzaballa take the holy see, which would be good

Pizzaballa, Tagle, Zuppi, etc all seem quite decent as far as liberals go. I don't think there's any who I would immediately be super worried about. Turkson is the most "mixed bag" IMO, out of what I've seen, but he has a very anti-IMF position, despite many regressive social views.

Pizza baller sounds dope

It’s recognised as being part of the Easter holiday. Just probably not in the USA cause they don’t like giving people a days holiday there.

Yet another example of Burgerlander "Christianity" being heretical.

Who do you think the next pope will be?

The only conservative pope I’d accept
