World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a schism at some point. American Catholicism is being influenced greatly by evangelical Christianity and the political project that exists around that.
I can’t wait to use the word “antipope” in a modern context.
Oh oh…better yet how about the Dark Pope
Or the Anti-Pope. 😈
They'll make their own Catholicism with blackjack and hookers!
Except evangelicals aren't allowed to have fun.
Well, now that’s not quite right. The straight white Christian-nationalistic male evangelicals are allowed to have fun. It’s just that their definition of “fun” doesn’t really match everyone else’s definition.
Read into that what you will.
I remember seeing an age-old snippet from the Times of London or such, reporting about political discussions about outlawing dogfights. The Anglican Church opposed it on grounds of leading the soul of Englishmen towards barbarism, some other group on grounds of worry about the animals (same thing, different perspective), the Puritans opposed in on the grounds of people having fun.
Well, neither are Catholics, so that works out.
The American catholics who i know love Francis and think it's taken too long to get him. Anecdotal, but I think the Dallas based church would have difficulty convincing local parishes that the Catholic pope is now misinformed and the new bigot really speaks for God
I think you’re vastly underestimating how much the Nationalist Christian demographic gets pumped up by their hour of hate. They’ve got a persecution fetish.
Sure they'd love him, but they're also not Catholic.
I beg to differ. I know several who are, unfortunately.
Remember anecdote should not be treated as empirical.
I know some Catholics that may as well be evangelicals with extra steps, but I know more that are far from it. It happens to be that the ones that aren’t essentially evangelicals are just quiet about it.
As someone who went to a Catholic school in Dallas, I don't share your optimism. I hope you're right, though.
I don't doubt he'll get churches in his old diocese, I'm doubtful that it'll have far reaching consequences, though.
A handful of relatives at Thanksgiving wanted to have a conversation/diatribe about what the pope was doing wrong but hey look, I'm gonna go stand over here instead.
So Catholics with a basic and fundamental misunderstanding of how the church functions and the power of their head of church. Such great Catholics
If there is one thing true about all catholics is how selectively they practice their religion. It's more like a buffet, not a planned meal.
Once, it was Rome and Avignon. Will it be Vatican and Dallas now?
Rome and Rome, Georgia
Vatican City. Rome is the capital of Italy. But if there is another Rome in Georgia, it could work.
There are actually schismatic churches right now. Mel Gibson and his father are members. Iirc they left because of Vatican II, and JP2 was too liberal for them. Mel apparently has a chapel on his property and a priest of that sect says the Latin Mass there.
I think I read about it when he said that anti-Semitic stuff after getting pulled over.
