On 16 October 2023, he condemned Hamas' actions as barbaric and offered himself as a hostage in exchange for captive Israeli children held in Gaza during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.

Pizzaballa has advocated for an end to the 2023 Israel–Hamas War and the Israeli occupation of Palestine.[17] Pizzaballa was a signatory to the "Statement on the Escalating Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza" which condemned attacks on civilians, called for de-escalation and called for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. His statement was criticized by Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen.[18] On his visit to Bethlehem on Christmas Eve 2023, Pizzaballa donned a Palestinian keffiyeh and expressed a desire for peace in the region.[19]

Consider me a Pizzaballa fan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierbattista_Pizzaballa

I've heard him mentioned as a possible next pope. Which would mean his papal name could only be a disappointment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

How could you get a better name than this?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

I think they have to change names to something lame when they become pope. The current guy is named Jorge Mario Bergoglio but goes by Francis.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Pizzaballa is pizzaballs (testiecles) in Norwegian 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

😂😂 it's just "pizza dancer" in Italian

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Wasn’t he the token Italian kid in the TERF wizard school book?

There is or was one from the Philippines named Cardinal Sin.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

this requires its own tv series, with guns, lots of guns

I don’t care what your evening plans were previously, your new task is to watch VelociPastor, I promise it is worth your time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Please tell me you're a fan of the How Did This Get Made pod

Thanks for the tip!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

I am in!

It looks like Cardinal Sin died in ~~2085~~ 2005. I guess he was a mortal Sin.

It looks like Cardinal Sin died in 2085.

Be brutally honest, for how long was I asleep?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

Lol, oops, fixed. :)

About to fuck around and reboot Van Helsing

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do I get this feeling that he might possible perhaps be Italian?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

Just a little bit Italian.

Got my vote for Pope, should we need a new one soon.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Given the latest reports, the current Pope is either going to make a full recovery or died a week ago. We'll probably find out in about a week.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This is how I found out the Pope is in poor health.

Given how every election seems to out recently, they're probably going to seek out the vilest, most fascist, hardcore traditionalist they can find who thinks Vatican II was tantamount to a pagan takeover or some shit. Fuuuuck

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

... have you read about any previous popes?

It's only financial greed/dragon-like hoarding that prevents them from amassing a giant army.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Thus the concern. Haha

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

They already punched the hitler youth tab on their ticket with benedict...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pope Francis made a bunch of new Cardinals from all over the world, so nobody knows what will happen.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

They're also allowed to name their successors. If he's really as concerned with the direction of the church as he has claimed, you'd think he'd ensure who's gonna be wearing the fancy red shoes in the coming years. But honestly, I think he's not quite as concerned about that as he's lead on. He strikes as me as a radical centrist, it just looks progressive compared to so many of the others.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What if I declare myself pope? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

David Graeber had a take on that before he died.

If you convince a billion people that you can breathe underwater, and then you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you'll drown.

If you convince a billion people you're the king of France... Then you're the king of France.

So the question becomes, how many Catholic friends do you have?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You got some white smoke to back that up?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (4 children)

He prefers the altar boys eat it everyday.

Hey, taking the Lord's Name in vain is blasphemy. Taking little Jimmy in the confessional? Grey area.

his position on pineapple

He goes on the pineapple, spiky part first - the needle-like pokes feel great on the ol' pizzaballs

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Pope Pizzaball!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Do you find it… wisible?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

when they elevate him to pope they get renamed, his should be like "tasty the 1st"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

He can't just change his name to something kids love, just to love kids. Can he?
