In what manner did he reject it?
I can’t help but read the pope’s text in the voice of Dagoth Ur.
Come, Nerevar, come and return to the Heart 🎵
oh oh oh ohhh

I think all of Twitter is probably better to ignore?
Can confirm, been doing it since forever.
Holy fuck, thats even worse that I imagined. Most places I’d seen that just cropped to just the first line of the reply, delightfully skipping all of the “sin of empathy” heresy.
As depicted in the gospels, when Jesus was asked what the most important part of the law was our Lord And Savior literally said “love.”.

So if you are a true Catholic you have to take the word of the Pope as the word of God. Catholics who disagree with the pope are hypocrites.
I thought his comment on the heart was just some made up bs. Turns out no, it’s not. It’s an old testament verse, but still in the Bible. As an aside, why do the evangelicals love the old testament so much? Is it because it gives more of a right to be judgy?

From a skeptical translation point of view, I want to know if the word heart means the same thing today as it did then.

I’m sure that part is mostly accurate, but I think it’s talking about other people’s hearts, rather than one’s own.
In context, it’s trying to make a point about how one should trust god above men, because there’s no way for one to know how another person truly feels (but in theory god can).
You’d have to ask a theologian for an actual answer.
The old testament is literally just there for context.
I had to learn that for myself because I wasn’t taught it while a baptist. I learned that as an atheist! Its just Tue new testament that matters.
Gotta admit, it takes some balls to mansplain Christianity to the Pope.
Isn’t the pope catholic?
Catholicism IS Christianity.
Wrong, only Gnostics are real Christians, demiurge stans don’t count
Why do people say catholics aren’t Christian? I’ve heard it a few times, it’s baffling.
“Return to the heart” is just code for giving the alter boys prostate exams eh
Excommunicate this bitch
The sub is clearly a protestants, so the Pope has no power to excommunicate
Oh, I thought the joke was that the guy was catholic and openly disagreeing with the pope
The online sewer aka twitter
Psycho fucking evangelicals
Too bad the stats on the responder got cropped.
If the pope got ratio’d by some guy mansplaining the bible to him, Christianity would have another schism
Oh no, now we have evangelic christianity flavor #4743907, the other billion sects are going to be so mad there’s a new kid on the block
I did not have the rise of Austinism and a catholic crusade against (what I assume is) the US in my bingo card for late 2025.
I’m honestly not sure what Mr Pope was trying to say there.
That you have to have a heart. You have to believe in things, and see right from wrong
We’re losing that as a species. Laws aren’t a replacement for morality, but they’re treated like it
There’s no set of laws that could save us from global warming or bring the local community together. But these are very necessary things
its pretty bad grammatically. maybe he had one too many Jesus wines.
he’s american
“Acting with compassion will improve life for everybody.”
Your version is definitely more succinct.
Blows my mind that half of the USA think compassion is woke and to be avoided
It’s not like they changed, they were already like this. We need to shame people about this more
This is by design; it’s difficult to demonize “the others” if you have even a drop of compassion.
Yeah Pope said funny stuff like “locus of free freedom”, whatever that is. But most "a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal and communal style of life… like ome on
I love watching crazy people fight
