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.

MODERATORS
They’re called antipopes. The last one was in the 15th century.
What happens if a Pope and Antipope collide?
When popes and antipopes collide, the popes destroy each other, with a huge energy release. Depending on the colliding popes, not only is there a great energy release, but new, different popes may also be produced (such as neutrinopes and various flavours of quarkpopes – see figure below). These new popes will have a lower mass than those in the original collision, due to the law of conservation of ecclesiastical energy and Einstein’s very famous equation E=mc2 – some of the energy goes into heat and light, some into forming the new popes.
What happens to the pope hats, are they conserved
Yes, conservation of funny hats is pretty much a universal phenomenon
We actually can't tell if the funny hats are conserved. We call this the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
This guy Heisenberg came up with it:
In my experience funny hats can be created out of non-funny hats pretty easily. I don't think that conservation law holds.
That is because all non-funny hats are also funny hats at the same time. It is only at the moment of observation that a hat decides whether it is funny or not funny.
We refer to this phenomenon as Schrödinger's hat.
Ah but the total funniness of the hats is still conserved; you may be creating a funny hat from non-funny hats, but the total funniness is the same as the sum of the earlier hats.
I think you forgot to post the figure you referred to.
neutrinopes
Pope number is conserved confirmed.
Call me a traditionalist, but I much prefer the antichrist.
Episode IV – A New Pope
Oh that's just brilliant! A New Pope - I am so wishing that I'd thought of that.
New schism just dropped
Actual religion
Defying the choice of God seems like a bold choice. Almost like there are no actual rules or punishments. Weird.
What are they gonna do about it? It's not like they can write down their grievances on a piece of paper and nail it to a cathedral door.
You are responding to exactly what they are doing about the situation!
The same God's Will was used to justify black slavery. It sure is a versatile tool.
It never could have lasted millenia if it wasn't.
Looks like someone is trying to tell God what to do.
Time to add "a new schism in the Catholic Church" to the end of days bingo card.
You know what else would be contrary to the will of a loving God if one existed?
Being the main driver of the African AIDS epidemic that's claimed tens if not hundreds of millions of lives.
Fuck the catholic church and ESPECIALLY fuck THESE catholic church monsters! 🖕🖕🖕
Now ex-communicate them.
Here comes another schism!
African Orthodox now!
The Catholic Church thought they could pour their brand of religion into the entire continent for hundreds of years, gaining loyal support and broadening their power. Looks like they just found out they exported the bigotry, but couldn't force loyalty when they change the message.
This is the danger we keep seeing when people use a religion as a power vehicle, and wrap it in "fear of the other". Doesn't matter if it's Catholicism or something else. We'll continue to repeat history over and over because clearly it'll work THIS time and that leader will be able to control it.
The new Protestant reformation?
This time, nailed to someone's door:
"95 reasons why u r gae"
Well, the catholic church is basically a faschist organization by it's organigram. Obey to the leader you fucks or go to hell (literally).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — In the greatest rebuke yet to Pope Francis, the Catholic bishops of Africa and Madagascar issued a unified statement Thursday refusing to follow his declaration allowing priests to offer blessings to same-sex couples and asserting that such unions are “contrary to the will of God.”
The statement, signed by Congolese Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo on behalf of the symposium of African national bishops conferences, marked the closest thing to a continent-wide dissent from the declaration Francis approved Dec. 18 allowing priests to offer such blessings.
“Within the church family of God in Africa, this declaration has caused a shockwave, it has sown misconceptions and unrest in the minds of many lay faithful, consecrated persons and even pastors, and has aroused strong reactions,” he wrote.
A few weeks ago, Burundi’s President Evariste Ndayishimiye said “people of the same sex who marry in this country should be taken to a stadium to be pelted with stones, once discovered.” In a radio broadcast Dec. 29, he asked Burundians living abroad who practice homosexuality “not to return home.”
Ambongo said the symposium statement was a “consolidated summary” of the positions adopted by individual national bishops conferences, and said it had received the “agreement” of Francis and the doctrine office’s new prefect, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández.
No such extra documentation or preparation accompanied Fiducia Supplicans, as the text is known, and its rollout was marked by individual bishops and entire national conferences voicing confusion and opposition.
