Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the "draconian" framing is right but i want to name the mechanism: they don't need legislation when they own the building. how many of these hospital acquisitions went through with zero public comment period?

To be fair, it’s the US Conference of Bishops which tends to be rather more conservative than the last two Popes that has instigated the ban. If we get an American antipope it’s going to be one of those guys.

if they actually wanted to stop any of this, they'd have done it by now.

Any kind of "Welcome To The Resistance" joke in general for anybody really has been tiring, because I don't know who is making a poor taste joke and who's being a realsies Resist Lib jackass.

It's like the ultimate Bluesky pepepost.

… might as well call that waffleposting.

No no no, please don’t confuse this poltical moment of war in Iran and war against trans people as the broad culmination of normalized religious fundamentalism. It’s actually cringe and uncouth to be an atheist in 2026.

I used to be an annoying atheist, but then I GREW UP unlike YOU, soy BOYS 😤

People like to pretend that catholics are the 'good christians' as if they don't by and large fall in line with the rest of the christofascists.

The only good thing about this pope is that maybe his spat with the US government will fracture the braindead religious base somewhat.

I will die on the hill that the Catholic Church is the single institution responsible for the most atrocities in human history (mostly by dint of longevity)

Which is not really surprising given one of their central tenets is "some people deserve to be tortured forever".

Yeah this is the other element of the ban that highlights why religious institutions shouldn't be running hospitals which is that I don't have a fucking vote for the Conference of Bishops and yet they can decide my fucking healthcare

I literally had a doctor tell me no we can't do that because we're a catholic organization. Sabotaged my referral out too. I had no idea.

And these purchases of hospitals and hospital chains are often done to preemptively shield assets from victims for the thing the catholics are known for.
