How many votes does the Pope have?
These griftpigs are in need of slaughter
I am not surprised that Mike Huckabee would try to turn this into a victory lap for himself. However, if the Pope in fact invited Kim Davis to a meeting, I am extremely disappointed. Iām not a Pollyanna and understand that the Pope represents a still very conservative church. But there are so many individuals and groups more deserving of an audience than Kim Davis - the kind of attention-seeking āChristianā the Bible (and I thought the Pope) disclaims.
Who gives a flying fuck?! The catholic church is clear on their position regarding gay marriage, so why should it be a surprise that the pope met with Davis. And if you are going to celebrate that on the right, then why isnāt the right celebrating the popeās PUBLIC statements regarding climate change and unfettered capitalism? By the way, the fact that Davis met with the pope does not change the fact that she is using her government position to endorse a specific religion, a clear violation of her oath of office.
Huhā¦so Papa Francesco is a āsocialistā right up until he meets with Kim Davis? The HUCKster really is nothing but a big olā fraud.
1 / Donāt Baptists like Huck consider the papacy the antiChrist most of the time? Or only when convenient?
2 / It is possible, of course, the pope agreed with KDās conscience and told her to quite her job. Matthew 12:17.
3 / Note that Huck has zero agreement with many of the popeās other claims (refugees, climate change, treating the poor, etc). With religion it makes logical sense to be all in or all out; otherwise, you are inventing your own religion.
Didnāt Huckabee also tweet some pretty nasty things about the Pope and some of his other views? Donāt have time to search, but Iām pretty sure I saw some real strong statements from him.
In a continual effort to prove that he is the biggest asshat and opportunist on the planet, Aw-Shucksabee selectively (as always) points to the Pope indulging this half-wit as proof that God hates gays and that climate change is a hoax.
The Pope blesses special needs individuals all the time. Why wouldnāt he meet with her? Iām surprised he didnāt meet with Shucks himself.
Huckabee is a jerk off. Imagine the skeletons in his secret closet. The more they thump the bible, the more guilty and the more they have to hide. Huckabee is one weird duck.
You know, Huckster, Iāll bet if you could really ask Jesus āWhat would Jesus do,ā the answer would never come back, āIndulge in an orgy of mean-spirited gloating.ā
Apparently he did. The Vactican gave a really bizarre answer to the question today but there was a confirmation buried in there.
I am honestly a bit surprised. The Vatican is not a big fan of the evangelicals, for many very obvious and historic reasons. And surely they know that this is a matter of internal law for the United States, something that makes no sense for the Pope to engage himself.
In essence, an argument can be made that such a meeting would constitute the Vatican attempting to subvert US sovereign authority over its own populationā¦and that is sort of thing the Vatican is usually very careful about doing. (It doesnāt turn out well for Catholics living in such countries).
For this victory lap, did Huckabee borrow a mobility scooter from Walmart or does he have his own?
In the waning days of WW II during a discussion of the future of Eastern Europe British Prime Minister Winston Churchill cautioned Joseph Stalin to consider the views of the Vatican. To this the Soviet leader responded āHow many divisions does the Pope of Rome have?ā
Well as an extremely lapsed Catholic, I was feeling pretty good about the Pope and such ā¦ not so much any longer. Same old, same old, less bling.
It would be funny to google and see how many time Huck has disagreed with and complained about the Catholic church and Pope(s)
Good gawd suddenly all these Protestants are BFFs with the Pope.
Davis, her lawyers, Huckabee, et al, attempting to gain political advantage from this so-called secret meeting is going to backfire. This crowd is using the Pope. A statement from the Vatican will be forthcoming.
Yours is an excellent explanation of the concerns with this invitation.
