It'd be better if Pope Leo deputized and trained additional Vatican Guards and deployed them at various locations. Also a priest.

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Swiss Guards are active duty Swiss military iirc. Deployng them could be... Problematic on many levels.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They appear to just have to have undergone Swiss basic training (and be catholic Swiss men of a certain age and height)

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Ha, thanks for the correction.

Police in riot gear with pepper guns and gas grenades vs Swiss Guards in blue, red and yellow with halberds. 🤘

I've done this in CIV and it didn't work out that well...

Because Gandhi showed up and nuked everyone?

Arm them with lacrosse sticks instead?

😂 🤣

'People of Faith Stand with Immigrants'

Yeah, I don't think "people of faith", at least the more conservative ones, are going to be taking that lesson very seriously... Good luck changing their mindset.

🤷‍♂️

Evangelicals are not, but there are progressives within the ranks of christianity. The actual message of the new testament is down right socialist.

Jesus died a pacifistic anarchist at the very least

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Pacifist yes — definitely not an anarchist. He instructed his followers to obey all laws in all situations that didn’t conflict with loving God and loving other people. However, he despised “tradition” and flaunted it constantly.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Anarchists aren’t against following laws, they’re against unjust hierarchies

[–] brandon@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pacifist

Did I misread the part when he kicks the shit out of the money changers?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup. He overturned their tables and yelled at them to get out of the temple.

Of course, that would be classified as terrorism today….

[–] brandon@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In the John version of the story, he "drives" them out of the temple with a whip. It's difficult to reconcile that with a total pacifism.

The Vatican style of faith is very different from whatever has been festering in conservative America.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the only higher power conservatives believe in, even the religious ones, is fox news

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

close but not quite, trump is the higher power. when fox didnt 100% back january 6th and trumps mission to steal the election, many of them called to boycott fox news. If they have to choose between fox and trump they will choose trump. In reality this probably wont happen again cuz fox learned their lesson.

Good on the USB, got the religion right. You know who doesn't? People who hate their neighbours, casted stones in the capitol and know compassion only for their own.

These people pretend to be religious, because it happens to be popular with conservatives, not because they understand religion
