What the new Pope choosing the name Leo might mean By HatetheSwamp May 8, 2025 3:09 pm Category: Religion (0.0 from 0 votes) Rules of the Post & Tips. Write & edit articles How To Post Here

Re: Leo XIII

In his famous 1891 encyclical Rerum novarum, Pope Leo outlined the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and the formation of trade unions, while affirming the rights to property and free enterprise, opposing both socialism and laissez-faire capitalism. With that encyclical, he became popularly titled as the "Social Pope" and the "Pope of the Workers", also having created the foundations for modern thinking in the social doctrines of the Catholic Church, influencing the thoughts of his successors.

More of Pope Francis?

by oldedude on May 8, 2025 3:55 pm Okay, that's pretty succinct. Generally, when a new ruler comes in to a major nation, I generally know about them just from watching them rise. So I at least have a guess about the time he's in. Thanks. by Indy! on May 8, 2025 7:46 pm So you admit you like watching men rise. There it is folks - undeniable proof. 😌 by oldedude on May 9, 2025 11:31 am And you're running away like a little bitch about the one accusation you made and I told you to put up or STFU. Still hiding under one of your daddies' skirts? by Ponderer on May 9, 2025 12:44 pm Is Pope Leo XIV a 'WOKE MARXIST POPE'? He is if you're a Trump supporter. Well, MAGA, it looks like you got yourself another "woke pope" to contend with. In the right-wing loon-o-sphere, the reaction to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost becoming the first American-born pope has been one of outrage and disgust. Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who is regularly in President Donald Trump’s ear, posted of the new pontiff: “WOKE MARXIST POPE.” [...] I’m not familiar with the “empathy is bad” portion of the Bible. But it seems the MAGA crowd is generally upset at the new pope, who took the name Leo XIV, because he believes in the things Jesus taught. The fact that those things – loving others, embracing peace, welcoming immigrants – are deemed “woke” and thus intolerable by parishioners of the Church of Trump tells you all you need to know about the congregation. HOW DARE THIS NEW POPE BE SO CHRISTLIKE IN HIS WOKENESS!!! usatoday.com by HatetheSwamp on May 9, 2025 12:55 pm po, Are you informed on his position on trans issues? Bahahahahahahahahahaha haha ha, ahhhhhhhh! by Curt_Anderson on May 9, 2025 1:11 pm HtS, Are you aware that the Catholic Church is a tradition-bound 2000 year old institution? You seem surprised that its newest CEO has not instantly overturned its historic positions and policies. Pope Leo XIV may not be a liberal compared to AOC or Bernie Sanders, but he is a good distance to the left of Donald Trump. I predict that this American pope will have a more than usual influence on American voters, in particular by rejecting the politics of hatefulness. by Indy! on May 9, 2025 2:34 pm People like Brown Shorts and OD worship at fake religion churches for a reason... because they DON'T adhere to the teachings of Christ. That is how every non-Catholic "Christian" church originated - as a break from Jesus' actual beliefs. That's why Brown Shorts and OD are perfectly fine hating (and in OD's case - killing) MOST of the world's population because they aren't the "right" color or speak the "right" language (which - btw - was NOT the language or color of Jesus Christ). Catholicism (thru Jesus) teaches we are ALL god's children. Some people can't deal with that reality. by oldedude on May 9, 2025 4:28 pm If you actually read the scripts instead of having someone read them for you, the actual word in the language of the Israelites at the time of Moses, doesn't say "Kill." It says "Murder." A huge difference for a princess who thinks it's going to become someone that no one gives a fuck about. So right now, I seek you out and kill you. That's murder. Then. You attack me and my family, or more accurately, you're raping a little boy, and I kill you. I was saving that boy from you with evil intent. So before you start throwing stones, you need to check your shit princess. by Indy! on May 9, 2025 7:47 pm So - of course - in a post that has to do with RELIGION and JESUS CHRIST... OD can't resist making it about child pedophilia. Good lord you are a dangerous monster. I hope there are no kids located within a 1000 miles of your residence because you are so obviously a danger to them. Stop ruining the lives of innocents and stop MURDERING people while hiding behind corprorate military operations who's only goal is to steal the wealth of other nations that can't defend themselves. And in the end - you are still worshipping false gods. Catholicism is the ONLY religion of Christ. by oldedude on May 9, 2025 7:59 pm I didn't do anything of the like. You're just doing your usual thing and can't answer a fucking question. by oldedude on May 9, 2025 8:11 pm I'm not Catholic. I freely admit that. AND I respect the Catholic Church and will look at their doctrine as a piece by piece thing. I'm not pro or con until I see that. by HatetheSwamp on May 10, 2025 3:27 am "Pope Leo XIV may not be a liberal compared to AOC or Bernie Sanders, but he is a good distance to the left of Donald Trump." Curt, I think that it's folly to attempt to assess any Roman Catholic Pope in terms of US politics. A truth you may not be aware of is that Roman Catholicism is actually growing in the 21st century, particularly in Africa and South America. Leo's most important constituencies are in places where your "progressive" politics are considered an outright call to the days of Sodom and Gamorrah. "I predict" Leo ain't goin there. by HatetheSwamp on May 10, 2025 4:19 am MSNBC on Pope Leo XIV: View Video by Indy! on May 10, 2025 10:25 am Comical. Brown Shorts thinks AOC is liberal. by Indy! on May 10, 2025 10:28 am OD turning a religion thread into a pedophilia post... "You attack me and my family, or more accurately, you're raping a little boy, and I kill you." He's so deep into the pedo culture he doesn't even realize he's wallowing in it when he's away from his pedo community pals. Go To Top
