World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The current pope is sitting on mountains of evidence of all sorts of attrocities perpetrated in the name of the Catholic church. By the catholic church. Sure he'll open up something here and there to keep the visage that they're changed now, but they haven't until they open it ALL up.
See the latest article on Catholic Spain, where the abuse was so rampant, the victims run in the thousands. Catholic missionaries abusing children on an incomprehensible scale. Perhaps the church-run prisons in South-American countries? Maybe the second world war where the vatican was a conduit between nazis and the outside world?
We won't know until the CURRENT catholic church releases any and all documents, and not releasing them means they're hiding actual crimes for actual criminals. In my eyes, that doesn't make them any better than the people who perpetrated the crimes.
Also idc if it's petty. Do you think it's petty that the catholic church took over the state's responsibilities to care for widowed mothers and orphaned children in Ireland, leading to rampant abuse, rape, torture, human traficking and deaths among them? Is that petty? That we're still finding mass graves in Canada, dug by the good ol boys of the catholic church, to which the catholic church still does not want to admit fault?
Release the documents, you fucking cowards.
So you are attacking the institution, I also think that the church as an institution is completely flawed, but the same applies to pretty much any religion that empowers people and lets them exploit the weak and vulnerable.
The church was also burning alive people who were suspected of witchcraft, stifled technological progress for centuries, etc. Shall we blame the Pope for that too?
So yes, I agree the church as an institution is compromised, but the same applies to pretty much any religion group and institution, and this is coming from the people who had been in power. The same as what Hamas and Israel are currently doing in Gaza, exploiting the weak and vulnerable.
And sorry to disappoint you that there are also reported and documented sexual abuse cases in the Judaism as well, and also Rabbis taking advantage of young boys and girls.
But the more important question is are you as a human being approving of the current situation in Gaza. And let me give you a hint, Israel like the church doesn't have a pristine reputation and they are continuously and systematically abusing their position, committing countless human rights violations, which are recorded and easy to find with a simple Google search.
Is this a reason enough to hate every Israeli? I don't think so.
The uh, church actually tried to stop the burnings
