      Sorry, I don’t engage with crabs in a bucket.

      At least I’m trying to do something. What are you doing but dragging people down on the internet?

        I’m talking about all the people who upvoted but didn’t sign.

        You got almost 300 up votes, 17 signatures.

        Actually doing something is great.

        The drive by cunts who upvoted to feel good and move on, those I’m calling out.

    Excommunicating him would probably just make him more popular with his voting base. I won’t be surprised to see him convert to “evangelical”, divorce his non-white non-Christian wife, and then marry Charlie Kirk’s widow.

      That’s how he gets popular enough among the Christians to get elected president after trump. More so if he takes over after trump dies before 2028

    Why not just ask Pope Bob directly?

    I hear he’s very active on social media for a dude in a position that traditionally communicated only in Latin 🤷

      Very true, although in this case it’s about asking him with all our voices at once.

      Plus, I’m sure someone more appropriate can hector the representative of Yahweh on earth other than a polytheist who made the petition for his elderly Christian family members.

      Edit - plus, according to all the Vatican legal stuff I can find, official requests to the Pope are made through either a bishop or a country’s Nuncio. Just trying to make this as official and above-board as I can in the off chance it ever gets any official eyes on it.

    Did the Nazi Party have their own little neopagan rituals anyway? Not sure “JD” “Vance” will really care if he’s excommunicated.

      It’s not about whether he cares. It’s about the message it will send to the tens of millions of Christians in this country who still care what the Vatican says.

        Fair. It will definitely be fun, even if most of these conservatives are only doing their xtianity thing performatively. And as you say, might peel off a few Catholics that are still Republicans that care about such things.

        The Nazis had all the outward xtian stuff to keep a xtian mask on all the shit they did and to maintain buy-in from xtians - meanwhile, more than a few of the inner circle appropriated a bunch of neopagan stuff for themselves and to reinforce their silly beliefs about race. Would not surprise me if some of the people at the top of this maladministration have adopted some of the same appropriated bullshit.
