God-fearing patriots will now have a choice to make on Saturday between watching Donald Trump’s military and birthday parade, and a special address by Pope Leo XIV.

The pontiff has announced plans to screen a video message and mass in his hometown of Chicago at the same time that the president’s multi-million dollar party will be happening in Washington, D.C. Tickets for the event, which is to be held at the Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox (Pope Leo’s favorite team), are being sold online at $5 each. As of Wednesday the 40,000-sea stadium was almost entirely sold out.

A prayer service, which is reportedly directed at young people of the world, begins at 2:30 p.m local time and mass will be held at 4:00 p.m. Both will be live streamed.

Beautiful! An american pope. They can't deport him for standing up to hate.

[–] Lembot_0003@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow, classical feces vs. turd choice. Why can't Americans just stop eating shit altogether?

But still, it is a nice trolling from the Pope.

[–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Well, there's also the protests happening in pretty much every major US city as well, so there's a third non-fecal choice of there

Awesome, now I'll get to ignore TWO things!

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cools. So you’re joining the No Kings protest too.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I'd like to.

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Catholics are on are side in this. You reactionaries will throw all your allies out the window to preserve some mythical high ground you've never once held.

They'll have people in death camps, but at least you didn't have to be nice to people you don't like, huh?

Get some perspective.

Taking Christian doctrine literally is ridiculous and should be treated as such.

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You're the only one talking about Doctrine 😂

I feel like you think you know me better than you actually do...

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You literally just said it you clown.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope you are able to find someplace to relax with fresh air, gentle sunlight, and shapely old trees with birds chirping cheerfully.

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And I hope someone kicks you in the nuts you pretentious douche. Being passive aggressive is the cowards out in online arguments. Buck up or fuck off.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you tried turning the other cheek?

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Turning the other cheek is what bullies want. Give bullies black eyes. That's how you stop bullies.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

May you and peace find each other in a loving embrace, my friend.

[–] Rancor_Tangerine@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

May you blow it out your ass.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That actually sounds like a comically fun experience. Thanks for the graphic visual.

[–] zymagoras777@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He believes in literal demons. The world would be better off without Christianity at this point.
