Tea leaves reading wise, probably a good sign. The last Pope Leo was referred to as āThe Pope of the Workersā. Not that weāre going to get a woke Pope or anything, but I donāt think weāre getting a MAGA pope at least. Still a shame they picked an American though
The focus, as well as the style of governance, of Latin American bishops also has been clear in the post-conciliar era: They never stopped asking what it means to exercise a preferential option for the poor. In the face of widespread and acute poverty, they refined the Gospelās implications for a just society into a more or less coherent theology. They abandoned some of the coarser theories once grouped under the heading āliberation theologyā for a more homegrown theology of the people that eschewed the faulty anthropology, materialist assumptions and Hegelian dialectical theory that characterized too much of liberation theology.

way too smart for me, does it just mean theyāre taking the liberation out of liberation theology?
yeah I think the author was attempting to reassure that the new Pope aināt a commie
You got me wondering if even 1% of this election result was motivated by the need to displace SEO away from what comes out first when you search for āamerican catholic churchā on a search engine these daysā¦
This is why I share things here. Folks around these parts have knowledge of ideas and concepts that I do not.
āHegelian dialectical theoryā is a strange way to phrase it but then again thatās how a liberal American Catholic (which is what the author of the piece appears to be correct me if Iām wrong) would avoid the M word I suppose. Iām not really sure what to make of it other than an attempt presenting a moderate framing for Leo within an already (for the Catholic Church) progressive context. Wasnāt trying to do a gotcha on you or anything, genuinely thought it was an interesting detail
Just read The Good News! updating this meme:
long live pope yeso. may he eat tons of popeyes(o) chicken.
just heard musk has a company town in texas called starbase, which has a memes street.
Beginning to think this guy might actually fucking suckā¦
You know that every building on that street is numbered 69, making it impossible for emergency services to respond to any emergencies.
he does and also, let me be clear, i would never condone violence.
my new conspiracy is that the current administration of the USA gave a shit ton of money to the vatican to have an american pope
after doing some research I think calling the Pope a Chicago guy isnt quite accurate and perhaps a little unfair as heās really from Dolton. They should let Dolton have this they got enough problems over there believe me. Related - he shouldnt be a cubs fan as has been reportedā¦somethingās not adding up
