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 did not find this statement in the article at all. Link to where he said that?
Also, as a lifelong atheist I´m certainly not a fan of the pope but you have obviously not been following the news very closely:

Perhaps Biden should take note of his religious leader..
Biden knows better than to upset his donors. No one but them like him.
Those are lowball numbers for the catholic church!
It's lowball for most governments. Should most of the world not condemn Israel's reaction because at one point they did something similar?
It’s traditional, like many things in Christianity. Remember the Crusades?
The Muslim imaginary sky dictator isn't part of the Christian imaginary sky dictator's plan to end the world (but like in a good way!) like the Jewish imaginary sky dictator's followers are.
If you think about it, the Christian special relationship comradery with Judaism is a super patronizing relationship in that sense. "yeah, we can be friends, just stand... right over... Here. Right here."
The Pope has been denouncing the conflict and asking for the killing to end from the beginning.
But lukewarm, isn't it? The leap to calling it terrorism is great news.
My immediate thought.
Is he going to declare a crusade to protect the Christian pilgrims in the holy land?
That’s absolutely not what I had on my bingo card for 2024 but that’d definitely shake up the current crappy reality meta
Is there any lore reason why the Pope can't cast fireballs?
This meta is heavily based on physics, so holy fireballs don't fit the meta.
You know you're talking to a mid player when they bring up physics in the context of Pope play (no offense).
Using Pope is all about 2 things: spirit buffs and gold exploits.
Tis a silly place
He’d be a little late. The same assholes on the Temple Mount who were horribly mistreating Muslim pilgrims to juice up the Hamas leadership’s casus belli have also been spitting on and assaulting Christian visitors from all over the world for years. Francis might as well head to Malta and fire up the bat signal for the still-existing Knights Hospitaller so Doctors Without Borders can get some backup.
This century is meh, I hope he does this just so spice things up
Watch Zionist Christians defend Israel after this.
Not all Christians are Catholic. A fair number of denominations were created specifically because they didn't like what the Vatican was doing.
Yeah good point actually. I should've said Catholics.
I have always considered Zionist Christians an oxymoron. Don't forget it were the original Usurers who plotted against Jesus
Zionist Christians are not an oxymoron; they make perfect sense. The key is to understand that it isn't about altruism toward the Jews, whom they don't give a flying fuck about. It's about shipping all the Jews to Israel (and away from everywhere else, BTW) because Revelations says the Jews returning to Israel is a precondition for triggering Armageddon and the Christians think they're gonna get Raptured. Christian Zionism is 100% selfish and anti-Semitic.
This is completely retarded, therefore, probably, what the most fundamentalist Christians actually think. Although I'm pretty sure most Christians around the world don't actually give a fuck about Zionism
Don’t forget it were the original Usurers who plotted against Jesus
Isn't it a major theme of the New Testament that we all would have killed or deserted Jesus? Isn't that the point of the story of Peter (Jesus' bestie) denying him three times?
You are 100% right. There's plenty of food for thoughts and no truth in those words, we should all read them, reflect, bexome better people and move on the same way we do when we watch star trek episodes.
If everyone stopped taking 2000 yeaes old fairy tales so literally, we would all be much happier as a society.
Yeah ok but when was that? 100 years ago?
We know bro we know, Israel is a Zionist terrorist state. People supporting them are terrorist sympathizers and advocates.
Poor headline
Blonde Christians being killed?!!! Das terrorism!!
