White Christian Nationalists seem to forget that Jesus was an itinerant Jewish teacher with brown skin. He walked from town to town in a ragged robe and sandals. Imagine if Jesus showed up in a white mega church today!
An old joke has it that a blonde was terribly surprised to hear that Jesus was Jewish: "Really? That must have been awkward, what with his Mom being Catholic and all..."
They would kill him again. It was the same tribe of putzes who killed him the first time. They wanted an avenging angel but instead got a Prince of Peace. Look at the murder and retribution in the Middle East. This is what Jesus tried to stop.
Both "the Judaic community" and "the Christian community" are diverse indeed -- so diverse that both contain strenuous internal disagreement. And some might find that they have more in common on some issues with members of the other community than with their own co-religionists. I realized decades ago that fundamentalist Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus have more in common with each other than they do with more tolerant or liberal members of their own tradition. (Hint: Misogyny is a common thread.)
I read yesterday that a former Pope Leo was the first to criticize slavery. It must not be true, though, because the magats aren’t including it in their grievance list. I also read his heritage isn’t quite white enough for them, either.
How are they going to “not tolerate him”? Get him fired? Dox him? I’m pretty sure he doesn’t give a flying cluck. I hope he keeps their panties in a wad forEVER.
I wrote this on my Substack about the historical dimensions of the election of an American Pope.
Back when I was teaching undergraduates, I used to tell them that there would never be an American Pope. The reason: the UN General Secretary and the Pope are two international leaders who serve as helpful, if light, counterweights to the most powerful world leader, the President of the United States.
So why was American Robert Francis Prevost elected pope? Three good reasons:
--He is not parochial. He has spent most of his life in Peru and became a citizen of that country.
--He spent the last few years as head of the Vatican office for vetting new bishops, meaning that the cardinals of the world had come to know and trust him. Typically, cardinals nominate candidates to fill empty bishop positions in their countries, the Vatican office vets the candidates and makes a recommendation to the pope, and the pope appoints the new bishop.
--Finally, and critically, our current international landscape demands an American Pope who will act as a SANE counterbalance to Mad King Donnie. Our world needs at least one sane American in a very high place.
I am looking forward to many good things from Leo XIV. Anyone who looks down and sees friends there is fine with me.
I am completely non-religious and particularly critical of Catholicism. It doesn’t matter. The Pope is a leader to many people. Leo XIV represents all that is at risk from the Far Right — hundreds of years of advancements toward a more humane world. He will be an anchor to those desperately seeking leadership and a focal point for the continuation of this progress. Supporting him makes the statement, no, we will not allow a minority of extremist nutcases to destroy humanity’s great evolution.
So many people are labeling Pope Leo XIV "an American pope." What exactly does that mean to those who use the phrase, and what did it mean to those who in the past were sure that there'd never be "an American pope"? The latter actually made sense: In the context of worldwide Catholicism, the U.S. is a bit of a backwater. It's not where the main action is, and the local hierarchy tends to be entrenched and conservative, not to mention preoccupied for the last few decades with sexual abuse scandals.
But Pope Leo XIV, the former Robert Prevost, has spent much of his service outside the U.S. He's multilingual, and not just in Church Latin. He's a dual citizen with Peru. He is, in short, the kind of American that we could and should look up to and embrace, in marked contrast to the Americans who are gutting USAID because they don't believe we need relationships with the rest of the world.
Absolutely, and this is why people from countries other than the USA should welcome this individual who, like Francis, represents the best of humanity. Do not be concerned that he was born here in the U.S. He is one of the millions who has rejected Trump, MAGA and the Far Right and all they stand for. He will encourage those US citizens to restore democracy and he will support democratic movements elsewhere in the world.
Maybe the US has been a little bit of a backwater as far as Catholicism is, but we're where the money is at. That alone has always given us power in the last few decades.
I read also that Leo has included women in the bishop selection process. I read dozens of articles yesterday so please forgive the absence of an attribution.
Of all the things to be pissed off about these days, it really effing bugs me that the MAGA morons are shouting, "IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!" about the pope. Really? You have Congress, a stacked SCOTUS, the WH, blatant racism, and white supremacists making a fortune for calling little children the N word. But it's time to wake up? To what? The country is going to shit because of your polices and it's not enough?? JFC
The Magats can't accept the fact that our newly elected pope has a degree in math, speaks three languages and has compassion for the poor, marginalized, less fortunate folks. That's a huge red flag right there. The assholes of the non empathetic GOP continue to bitch about anything that's for the good world as demented Donnie continues to hire the bottom feeders from Fox News.
And further in their efforts to change the racial make up of america, 54 Afrikkaners (the initial batch) will arrive at Dulles on Monday. It's Elon & D effort to have them propagate & populate the U.S. with white babies. They were given special emergency immigration preference by State Dept calls them endangered persons from So. Africa
True. The eugenics devotees will always think they are being oppressed. White minority suppressed blacks for decades, and now the whites fear retribution---having their land absconded (which hasnt happened...but ya know.). 75% of farms still owned by whites, but fear is a powerful thing. I wonder where they will be situated.
And yet he chose the name "Leo"... Astrologers, start your engines! I propose August 14th be made Pope Leo XIV Day. There's no other major holiday around then so, it'd make for a nice mid-summer break. Not sure what it would involve but, I'd suggest Chicago style deep dish pizza and some brats. Celebrate responsibly!
He has a vivid imagination and “tends” to exaggerate. He probably thinks his mushroom is getting a real trip with her. Reality may be another story. He is OLD. My husband just turned 86 and believe me… great active sex with old fashioned style isn’t happening with Dear Leader
I probably shouldn't think that because my ex-wife always pointed out how "Misogynistic" and "Sexist" that comment is. But...Is it Misogyny when the statement's made about Gender Traitors like Laura Loomer...?
I am no urologist, but I'm not thinking that diaper Don gets any on the side, front or back anymore. I think he likes the adoration of a much younger woman, especially considering that his maleficent wife can't stand him and doesn't even live in the same huge mansion with him this time.
I just googled her to see how unqualified she is, and saw that she made a positive Xitter post about the new pope so how long do you think she'll last? OTOH, she'll probably change her tune and attack him to save her maga cred.
He is going to fucking shake things up in the Catholic world and I am lovin’ this pick, so I’m guessing that Melania coins will be thrown out out the plate of donations all those valuable pillows from pillow schmuck won’t help anybody sleep. He’s not doning any red magat hats it’s strictly Prada all the way, a new king has been crowned and he’s focused on freedom! And justice for all? You bet da bears have a new coach, Harry Carey will sing hymns at the 7th inning and force reverence in the White House, he’s commin’ for magats! I must commend the Catholic hierarchy for this incredible gift.
Yes, and I respect that; as a KC guy, I became accustomed to outsiders failing to understand the many distinctions between KC Kansas and Missouri, all with often irreconcilable contradictions.
And all those years the MAGAtwits spent frantically trying to come up with something rotten to say about Chicago, hoping it would somehow reflect poorly on a guy with a D next to his name. Well, here's your second chance, guys!
I have a (get this) “formerly” gay brother who became a Catholic priest (yeah, ikr??) and is more MAGA with each passing year. After Francis and now this, I’m tempted to ask him if he’s sure he signed up with the right church lolololololololololololololololol
You know how earlier this year the liberal Canadian PM candidate was behind in the polls, and the media credits Trump with propelling hm to victory? It struck me that Trump may well have contributed to the selection of a kind and compassionate Pope!
It would certainly be ironic if Trump continues to inspire voters to chose decency in their candidates!
Not only that, but there was a news story about how in the interim between Pope Francis's death and the conclave, a lot of conservative MAGA Catholics went to Rome to wine & dine cardinals and promise huge donations to the church if the new pope was someone acceptable to them. Maybe they had someone specific in mind. At any rate, Pope Leo is NOT who they were hoping for, and his election is a big middle finger to rich MAGA Catholics.
"The period before the conclave is always one of intense lobbying, as it’s the last chance for anyone besides the electors to get any say in the process. But this year MAGA sent that lobbying into overdrive as conservative American Catholics sought to replicate their recent electoral successes in the U.S.
Groups like the conservative Papal Foundation—which is chaired by President Donald Trump’s favorite cardinal, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New ork—hosted VIP events where donors said they could raise $1 billion for the church if the “right pope” were to be chosen."
there has long been a conservative element to the Catholic Church. Vatican ll was meant to bring the church forward ; and it did to a degree . It also stirred up the right wing; mass in English, with priest facing congregation ; people were finally being included...Francis and Pope Leo both belong to missionary orders, it is about shepharding the flock,right ?
and the Australians gave a majority to the lefty Labor party in their recent election over the inaccurately named RW 'Liberal' party in favor of as well.
the new pope, it must be noted, looks exactly like my cousin's husband, and I'm finding it very distracting
Looks nothing like Leo DiCaprio, wonder why he chose to take his name?
the lord works in mysterious ways. so does the pope
You seem hardly the Christian type Jeff, yet so wise in the ways of the Almighty, you seem to be. :)
yeah well, we jews invented christianity
White Christian Nationalists seem to forget that Jesus was an itinerant Jewish teacher with brown skin. He walked from town to town in a ragged robe and sandals. Imagine if Jesus showed up in a white mega church today!
They will never accept that fact , and will always assume that because Jesus was born of God , that meant he was white. Those types are אידיוטים
An old joke has it that a blonde was terribly surprised to hear that Jesus was Jewish: "Really? That must have been awkward, what with his Mom being Catholic and all..."
Probably because they so rarely read their book. And they 'think' "White" is the default setting.
They would kill him again. It was the same tribe of putzes who killed him the first time. They wanted an avenging angel but instead got a Prince of Peace. Look at the murder and retribution in the Middle East. This is what Jesus tried to stop.
Jeff, I far more respect the Judaic community than ever I will respect the Christian community.
Both "the Judaic community" and "the Christian community" are diverse indeed -- so diverse that both contain strenuous internal disagreement. And some might find that they have more in common on some issues with members of the other community than with their own co-religionists. I realized decades ago that fundamentalist Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus have more in common with each other than they do with more tolerant or liberal members of their own tradition. (Hint: Misogyny is a common thread.)
Except the Orthodox, they can be real nasty in every religion.
Wendy, take a look at Gaza today.
And the bastards who practice it, never think to thank you for it! Or even acknowledge it!😁
I read yesterday that a former Pope Leo was the first to criticize slavery. It must not be true, though, because the magats aren’t including it in their grievance list. I also read his heritage isn’t quite white enough for them, either.
Leo Durocher fan?
Leo was a Cub from National League. White Sox in Americ an
And yeah I know the difference between the leagues. Your comment was unnecessary.
Yeah I know that but I'm a White Sox fan and saw Durocher manage the Cubs.
Or Leo Bloom, for that matter.
Is the guy for hire. Just asking for a friend. 😉
Maga will not Tolerate the Pope , because the new pope is too woke Jeff.
Voices of America will continue to speak.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/voices-of-a-diverse-america-may-9th
Keep fighting the good fight jeff.
How are they going to “not tolerate him”? Get him fired? Dox him? I’m pretty sure he doesn’t give a flying cluck. I hope he keeps their panties in a wad forEVER.
Someone said he looks like an older Bobby Hill.
Bobby Hill would make an excellent pope
Can we call him Pope Bob? Us Bobs must stick together.
I never stopped referring to Pope Benedict/Cardinal Ratzinger as Benny the Rat
Pope Ratchet
I liked the name my Catholic friend, Mary, came up with.
Ratzi the Nazi
That he was. One of my patients, an absolutely hysterical nun, couldn't stand the guy. She had some of the most wonderful nicknames for him!
Don;t get greedy, you've already got Bob, Church of the SubGenius.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius
I feel that way about Ellens. I'd like to point out that there are more Bobs than Ellens.

I was raised Catholic but abandoned it years ago. I hope Pope Leo XIV can disinfect the world from agent orange.
I agree it was targeting the current evil of USA!
Me feelings exactly.

What is your "us"? Catholics in the U.S. or the U.S. in general?
I read also that Leo has included women in the bishop selection process. I read dozens of articles yesterday so please forgive the absence of an attribution.
You're right about the inclusion of women in the bishop selection process.
Everybody has a twin somewhere in this world. Except for DEAR LEADER!
Thank God. Even one is too many.
Imagine if there were two of him.
Rhesus: Oh please, there are enough nightmares already!
Imagine if he was a drinker. Yikes.

He looks so much like That Guy, I can't believe it!
He does just look like a regular guy! Love your daily hilarity!
Stay out of the confession box, lol.
I love Don Moynihan’s poem in response to Laura Loomer’s meltdown! 🤩
Cassocks are red
Conclaves are dope
Wake up babe we got a
WOKE MARXIST POPE
In the spirit of the great Nipsey Russell!
Yes!! I loved Nipsey Russell in my youth, especially on game shows (Hollywood Squares, Match Game). An amazing entertainer and a very funny man!
❤️
Of all the things to be pissed off about these days, it really effing bugs me that the MAGA morons are shouting, "IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!" about the pope. Really? You have Congress, a stacked SCOTUS, the WH, blatant racism, and white supremacists making a fortune for calling little children the N word. But it's time to wake up? To what? The country is going to shit because of your polices and it's not enough?? JFC
I thought MAGAts were all about being "unwoke." Pick a fkin' lane!
Ha! Right???
they are perpetually, eternally angry... that's the way they keep their people in line and not thinking.
The constant state of rage is the only neuro stimulation that they receive. Gotta keep it flowing, non-stop.
Yes, they are terminal anger addicts.
It's not healthy to be in a perpetual state of rage.
Truth.
The Magats can't accept the fact that our newly elected pope has a degree in math, speaks three languages and has compassion for the poor, marginalized, less fortunate folks. That's a huge red flag right there.

WTH is that about 🙄. Couldn’t they have picked people in real danger!
Like Afghani translators and their families that we hired and then dumped on our way out.
Well...they weren't white. It's gonna get worse. Bidens 4 years definitely interrupted their master race plans...
I thought maybe they were in danger of losing relevance .
"They" who? White South Africans, or Afghani translators & their families?
The people in real danger are likely not white so no, they couldn't because they are vile racists.
@Norma the people in real danger are the wrong color I’m afraid🥺🥺🤬
I thought the endangered persons in S. Africa were black. Hard to find any endangered white people anywhere in the world except Ukraine.
True. The eugenics devotees will always think they are being oppressed. White minority suppressed blacks for decades, and now the whites fear retribution---having their land absconded (which hasnt happened...but ya know.). 75% of farms still owned by whites, but fear is a powerful thing. I wonder where they will be situated.
I fucking bet they’re in danger 🤬 Does the ketamine klansman need more minions🧐
👏🏻👏🏻
Anyone else find it amusing that a liberal Pope was elected by a bunch of guys wearing red hats?
Touché.
The new Pope is an Aries. Just reclaiming the color red. Maga may have to switch to shit-brown.
And yet he chose the name "Leo"... Astrologers, start your engines! I propose August 14th be made Pope Leo XIV Day. There's no other major holiday around then so, it'd make for a nice mid-summer break. Not sure what it would involve but, I'd suggest Chicago style deep dish pizza and some brats. Celebrate responsibly!
And we have to wear white sox
Don't forget a toast with Pisco. Afterall, he's also Peruvian.
*chef's kiss*
And they're the original red hats.
You know there are 1.4 billion Catholics in the world wide church. Makes the felon look like a piker with only 77 million.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Somebody needs to put Loomer back in the loony bin. She's an embarrassment to the human race.
Everyone connected to this administration falls in that category
It's now the Loomer bin, and it's crowded.
🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone think that Trump likes Laura Loomer because she's giving him a little on the side ?
YES
Given his body size, I’m not sure his weenie penis would find the entryway an easy task.
🤢🤮
😆😆😆🍄🟫🍄🟫🍄🟫
He has a vivid imagination and “tends” to exaggerate. He probably thinks his mushroom is getting a real trip with her. Reality may be another story. He is OLD. My husband just turned 86 and believe me… great active sex with old fashioned style isn’t happening with Dear Leader
Does anybody think she's NOT?
I probably shouldn't think that because my ex-wife always pointed out how "Misogynistic" and "Sexist" that comment is. But...Is it Misogyny when the statement's made about Gender Traitors like Laura Loomer...?
When you're talking about a hateful psycho and a sexual predator, misogyny goes out the window. Those two belong in a class of their own.
So they deserve each other.
With her mountain bike lips I wouldn't doubt it.
She could inflate the tires on an 18 wheeler in 10 minutes!
The vision that created 😱OMG😂😂😂😂
OMG! DAVE! 😂😂😂😂😂
Proof of life!😂😂 Hope you're having a blast!😀😀
she suck-starts a Harley every morning, just to stay in shape.
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
😂🤣😂
Good one Dave
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if she used her "I have big tits and an Ashkenazi IQ" line on him.
Ha, that is her special Nazi pick-up line, too many big words for the Orange Ogre.
"Ashy what?"
Well THANKS, thanks for nothing. That's just one MORE thing I've got to try and unthink! I'm running low on brain bleach.
Does anyone not think that?
I am no urologist, but I'm not thinking that diaper Don gets any on the side, front or back anymore. I think he likes the adoration of a much younger woman, especially considering that his maleficent wife can't stand him and doesn't even live in the same huge mansion with him this time.
I see what you did there! Well done!
The YouTube comedy channel Epic Rap Battles once referred to Laura Loomer as “Temu Melania” 😆
May that go viral!
😂😂😂
Ick. And Eww
Well, Howard Nutlick certainly is.
I can't stand him. Diarrhea of the stupid mouth. Does he ever STFU?
I can't unsee that. 🤢🤢
Well there goes my morning 🤢, but to answer your question, yes🤢🤢
No doubt. They were all over each other awhile back. There are photos.
It’s a repulsive job but, someone has to do it.😖 I guess.
🤮
Or...at least she acts like she is, so that strokes his ego. He hasn't seen the mushroom for at least a decade.
Definitely!! The way she stuck to him etc… and Melania
Is not going to walk in on them…. She is not really in the scene
Judge Box Wine...
No. Just fucking no.
This is the worst. Honestly. You would have to be scraping the muck out of the bottom of the crustiest spittoon to find these humanoids.
Now THERE'S a pair of lips that need to wrap themselves around the exhaust pipe of a ragin' coal roller.
LOL!!!
I just googled her to see how unqualified she is, and saw that she made a positive Xitter post about the new pope so how long do you think she'll last? OTOH, she'll probably change her tune and attack him to save her maga cred.
Cracks me up every time 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, look at that! Leo performed his first miracle! He knocked Trump out of the spotlight!
That made me laugh, you win the day!
Hmm, I may have to reconsider being an atheist
You can be a Catholic for a day like me yesterday.
He is going to fucking shake things up in the Catholic world and I am lovin’ this pick, so I’m guessing that Melania coins will be thrown out out the plate of donations all those valuable pillows from pillow schmuck won’t help anybody sleep. He’s not doning any red magat hats it’s strictly Prada all the way, a new king has been crowned and he’s focused on freedom! And justice for all? You bet da bears have a new coach, Harry Carey will sing hymns at the 7th inning and force reverence in the White House, he’s commin’ for magats! I must commend the Catholic hierarchy for this incredible gift.
It is now a mortal sin to be a Packers fan
It is especially hilarious because he’s from Chicago. AND he’s a White Sox fan. So ain’t no way nothing can upset him as he pursues his path.
I heard Pope Leo has Creole roots, so the MAGATS can freak out over his DNA too.
I’m pretty excited about that, for sure.
His mom I believe. Oh the food they're gonna have in the Vatican...Pizza, italian beef sandwiches, gumbo, jambalaya, po boy sandwiches...
Actually he's from Dalton which is a Chicago suburb. Sorry but we Chicago proper people are sticklers for that.
Yes, and I respect that; as a KC guy, I became accustomed to outsiders failing to understand the many distinctions between KC Kansas and Missouri, all with often irreconcilable contradictions.
He was born in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago.
Grew up in Dolton though.
I am a lifelong Chicagoan, born, raised, and current resident. I am a stickler for “I’m from Chicago,” when they are actually from Niles.
As far as I’m concerned being born in Chicago is good enough for me, and I’m claiming him as a Chicagoan.
I get it. I grew up on the Northwest Side. Live in Evanston, which is next to but not Chicago.
And all those years the MAGAtwits spent frantically trying to come up with something rotten to say about Chicago, hoping it would somehow reflect poorly on a guy with a D next to his name. Well, here's your second chance, guys!
Considering that many MAGAs come from the Incest Hollow states of the South, they really shouldn't talk about Chicago.
Nice title. I call it the recessive gene belt.
The weak chins on those who call themselves the "master race", are a dead giveaway!
Shouldn’t it be ‘Incest Holler’ states?
And they'll fail again.
Only because they've had so much practice!
As a Sox fan myself, I laughed way too hard at the truth of your last sentence 🤣😅🤣😅🤣
Being a White Sox fan requires infinite patience.(Jerry Reinesdorff is a dick!)
I have a (get this) “formerly” gay brother who became a Catholic priest (yeah, ikr??) and is more MAGA with each passing year. After Francis and now this, I’m tempted to ask him if he’s sure he signed up with the right church lolololololololololololololololol
From Wonkette:
Say, you know who else was from Chicago and on a mission from God?!?
When I first saw that quip, Blues Brothers was the first thing that popped into my head!
👍👍👍
One of the best films ever made.
Pinot Pirro? This is no longer Government By Decree, it is Government By TV.
Thank my wife for that one.
Maybe it should be Pinto Pirro? Let’s hope she explodes on impact.
Jeff, I saw that someone called Howard Lutnick, Howard “Licknut” yesterday, thought it was appropriate, maybe something you could use 🤣🤣🤣
I heard “Nutlick.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
AHAHAHAHA! That's great!
Between Hegseth and Pirro there won’t be enough alcohol left for the everyday drunks in D.C.
Don't forget Keganaugh ...
He LIKES BEER ok?
Mattel is a country.
Yep.
This is okay because the unreconstructed will it.
I love the batshit reactions from the fascists though. That is great comedy.
Let's send Gaetz to be the president of the country of Mattel. Sounds about like his speed.
No more Gaetz please! I wonder how creepy he looks now? Does he also pal around with that loser Santos?
Santos doesn’t sleep with women or girls.
😱
Poor doll is in for it JD be all over that barbee.
All those underage Barbie dolls.
And don’t forget Skipper.
Or a guy, or " I don't know ". 😕

Not only that, but there was a news story about how in the interim between Pope Francis's death and the conclave, a lot of conservative MAGA Catholics went to Rome to wine & dine cardinals and promise huge donations to the church if the new pope was someone acceptable to them. Maybe they had someone specific in mind. At any rate, Pope Leo is NOT who they were hoping for, and his election is a big middle finger to rich MAGA Catholics.
That story needs validation.
i’m a bit skeptical about “wining and dining the Cardinals” … it’s not like a
CES convention or other sales gathering.
Did they take them out to Luigi’s restaurant in Rome?
"The period before the conclave is always one of intense lobbying, as it’s the last chance for anyone besides the electors to get any say in the process.

The Daily Beast, yesterday, 8 May, by Janna Brancolini.
GOOD!
there has long been a conservative element to the Catholic Church. Vatican ll was meant to bring the church forward ; and it did to a degree . It also stirred up the right wing; mass in English, with priest facing congregation ; people were finally being included...Francis and Pope Leo both belong to missionary orders, it is about shepharding the flock,right ?
and the Australians gave a majority to the lefty Labor party in their recent election over the inaccurately named RW 'Liberal' party in favor of as well.
Not just Canada; Australia also voted in a liberal candidate.
Yup, and I think your conclusion is correct. People know they must resist on a global scale as all will be affected in time.
