- Imustaskforhelp 6mo agoI am not christian so pardon me if I am wrong but wouldn't that be the catholic (pastors?) who can preach this message in the the words people understand and I suppose (internet influencers/people online?) will come to sum it up. Also Pope has to be diplomatic, he can't say for example things like "Trump sucks" words people understand but there is a subtle undertone in the message which convey that.
- shiandow 6mo agoBit of a strange criticism for someone who historically mostly speaks Latin.
- tao_oat 6mo agoThe Pope is not a politician.
- nacozarina 6mo agoa timeless troll like this is a rare treat
- tao_oat 6mo agoWas not meant ironically. I understand how in practice it's a political role (as most positions of power are) but I think it's applying the wrong standard to expect religious leaders to communicate like politicians.
- thrance 6mo agoHell no, we're already ruled by functionally illiterate [1] morons, dumbing down the discourse further is the very last thing we need. Stupidity should be made shameful again. [1] Using the words of Trump's own biographer, Michael Wolff, here.
- cjfd 6mo agoFrom the quotes in the article it sounds pretty simple. These are words that everyone can understand. Of course, the fascist right is attempting to 'inform' the public at a level where even two-syllable words are a bit too complicated. But maybe the general public also should attempt to be at a level a bit higher than cattle.
