Is this the beginning of the Butlerian Jihad?
And the Orange Catholic Bible
Just disarm billionaires from their money.
Why would he disarm himself?
major manifesto
Why dumb down proper news reporting?
The “manifesto” is called Encyclical letter, and is the classical format of publications of the Catholic Pope.Because manifesto gets type-cast as crazy.
AI wrote the article.
I grew up so ideologically opposed to these guys that I hate it when they make a good point. 😩
You know it’s a strange year when both the Mullah regime of Iran and the Pope of the Catholic church put something out there and you can’t immediately disagree…
They are socially conservative, but they have been fairly consistent at asking people not to kill each other for the past decades.
I think the leadership is less socially conservative compared to the past, but they represent some very conservative bases so they more or less are having to crawl progress forward or they risk a schism.
The previous pope, Pope Francis, stacked the Vatican with more progressive leaning cardinals. I believe Pope Leo will be following in Pope Francis’ footsteps in terms of appointments.
They forgive you.
Sir, I tip my hat in your general direction. That was, as they say, a cracking joke.
The pope’s AI encyclical was good reading and reminds us to center human dignity, compassion, etc. Lots of ethics to explore with regard to AI and related cultural phenomena.
“Fuck the ethical considerations and rush it through!” - most any american business person.
So when my priest raped me and the church protected him, that was an example of the ethical views and compassion and respect for human dignity you’re talking about?
I guess I always have more to learn from this amazing institution, like how I’m an abomination for being queer.
I am not here to defend that institution at all.
I am sorry you had gone through that experience. The only church that illuminates at all is the one we can set on fire :')
PS. This thread can easily spin on another reiteration of the arguments around “separating the art from the artist”. That text on AI may have a certain sympathy to some… I haven’t read it. After this post, I thought “maybe I should?”. Thanks to your comment I got centered back in my perspective: “nah. the pope can say whatever he wants to. I won’t be his supporter nor audience.”
you are not whoever told you this was doing the work of Satan
all of us are God’s creations, and God doesnt make mistakes
your sins do not define you, the crucifixion set you free of them. Have faith in Christ.
And may I ask for your diocese or archdiocese? Have you reported him to the police yet? I am incredibly sorry that happened to you
I’m sure you meant well, but “have faith in Christ” is not an appropriate thing to say to someone that was assaulted by their priest.
The Pope (yes this one your precious Leo) calls me an abomination because I have had bottom surgery.
when has he said that?
This might be the first time I agree with a Pope.
Read Laudato Sí.
Ok but no servitors either? Right? Right…
Yeah, servatorize one right here, Gilloman
All hail the Omnissiah!
The only manifesto I know:
Ok. I guess I also know this one:

I guess this one too. Sigh:

tfw when the normies are so eliminativism-brained that the only people capable of thinking about the ramifications of creating IRL philosophical zombies to control military drones/the media and maybe one day replace all of humanity is the coolest leader of the child predator megacult

I thought that at this point everyone calls him Gandalf.
Since the Catholic church now owns more land than anybody else on Earth (170 million acres), perhaps the Pope can grace us all by paying property taxes from this point onward? The church’s unimaginable wealth should be able to cover it… everybody else manages it somehow.
Since the Catholic church now owns more land than anybody else on Earth (170 million acres)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_lands
Federal lands are lands in the United States owned and managed by the federal government.
The federal government manages about 640 million acres (2.6 million km2) of land in the United States…
I’d also guess that the Russian and Canadian governments are up there.
That’s not anybody! I will be more specific, the Catholic church owns more land than any other private organization on Earth, but yes governments own more, and can seize land from the Catholics, too. It’s happened before.
That’s not an anybody! Anyway, let me be more pedantic for you… they own more property than any other private organization on the planet Earth (of the Sol system).
And the farthest west you go, the more the federal government owns lands. In some states like Nevada, the state only owns a small portion of their state land.
Fun, semi-related fact: the Mormons own approximately 2% of Florida.
Yes, they had a late start, Catholic church has been around for over a thousand years, Mormons need to catch up.
Still, they are doing rather well with around 2 million (sources vary) acres, the fifth largest landowner in USA. That’s very impressive, not paying taxes helps them a great deal financially.
Ask L. Ron Hubbard
what? the vatican is larger than the US? aahahahahahahahahaha
Did you know the Catholic church is much larger than the Vatican? IT’S TRUE
ha hahaha hahaha hahahaha haaahaahahahahahaha

if the vatican has more property than Russia and even all of BRICs combined, 😃
Are enough people going to church nowadays to warrant the big cash flows, as in the past? Went home to a family reunion last year and my aunt/uncles 8 children were raised catholic and went to church every Sunday. Discovered none of the kids, or their kids, go to church anymore.
They’re losing membership, but they have been unimaginably wealthy since the Middle Ages, they’ll be fine. Not paying taxes helps, of course.
(that’s just for the USA, they could be gaining membership elsewhere)
While we are regulating concepts, I wonder if anyone has tried regulating religions or economic styles.
Yes. People have tried both of those things. Heck, the encyclical even talks about it. It’s very long
Both?
