I was trying to find a clip of the blessing and entered “pope blesses ice” as a search on YouTube and, I guess I should not have been surprised by the results. It’s truly disgusting how many “pastors” and religious leaders are willing to mock the pope, declare this a “pagan ritual, or make idiotic jokes to share with their congregants. I cannot believe how many of these fuckers associate environmentalism and caring for the poor with “evil.” They really have NO IDEA what Jesus taught and are happy to mislead their congregants.
Pope Bob blessing a glacier while Republicans melt down faster than the ice itself. You love to see it.
The man says “don’t kill people, don’t cage immigrants, maybe don’t burn the planet,” and America’s holiest oil barons scream pagan witchcraft.
If Jesus came back tomorrow, rode in on a Tesla, and said “Love your neighbor and cool it with the carbon,” half the country would try to crucify him again for being woke.
Ta, Dok. This hippie pagan Jewess approves, and I DGAF what Matt Walsh or any of the others who have already lost the culture wars think of Pope Bob. If there were a hell, they'd be headed there.
The Christians have it in their novels that Heaven and Hell are Eternal. So, I ask you, if the shrinking life-expectancy of an American is now 74 years or so, and this American commits a Death Penalty Crime and is executed at the age of 44, does that add 30 years to Eternal?

Yes. I was in tears when they showed the melting water. It was so incredible to hear the Pope speak so beautifully about our stewardship of the earth. Full disclosure- I am a Unitarian Universalist, but was raised semi-Catholic.
When I was a kid, it seemed like every Catholic home in the US proudly displayed framed portraits of Pope John XXIII and JFK. If things were the same today, Pope Leo XIV would be going up there right now.
All this is going to do is given the publishers of the next edition of the Trump Bible (soon to be required by a school district near you. Then at your desk at work. Then in your home. It is the one word to unite us all) what sections to edit out.
Right after the whole "Harder for a rich man to enter heaven" bit. And the Beatitudes. Heck, they really should just re-write the Ten Commandments as suggestions that only Dear Leader Trump has been able to accomplish in one life time.

“I don’t actually believe that blessings make water into anything miraculous”
Maybe not, but vampires sure do. Are you claiming that movies lied to us?!

If more practicing, "devout" Catholics would agree with Pope Bob From Chicago I'd have more tolerance for them. But I will *never* "believe"

"Agnus Dei hire" ... I snorted cornflakes out my nose.

Well fuck. I'll be 74 in three months. Guess I shouldn't make an offer on that home in town, then.

I'm astounded by how much I love that photo of Pope Leo blessing the chunk of ice, and what that symbolizes.

A Bruised Martini?
Just gotta love this Pope. He's the real deal. The more I hear about him the more admirable he seems
Pope Leo has been given a hard act to follow, and I for one think he is up to it.
Are we sure this shouldn't read "Pope Bob from Chicago Endorses ICE"?
It might have made that beardo Matt Walsh stop his ignorant ranting for a minute or two.

Blessed are the rentseekers, for they shall lease the earth back to the meek.
Why does that lead pic remind me of a shot from "This Island Earth" (1955)?
Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!

Ooops!
There I was taking a well deserved weed break, when I read;
"citing the woke ideas of that Jesus guy, an Agnus Dei hire if ever there was one."
I am now ded. 💀
