Pope Leo is on X , spreading the teachings of Yeshua

[Bread and Circuses]

He’s making the fake Christians either make fools of themselves by saying he’s wrong or recognizing they they have lied to themselves.

1. Most Christians in the U.S. do not consider the pope to be their leader, because he is Catholic

[rampartd]

2. but many of us are catholics

i am quite proud of the pope. he is one of the few leaders of any institution standing up to this madness.

5. I don't care if anyone is Catholic or not...

Seeing this post can only be a good thing.

[Jilly_in_VA]

22. I'm Orthodox

and he's not my leader, but I still pay attention to what he says. He's a good guy, as was Francis, and Catholics are close to Orthodox, except for a few words. 1054 and all that.

8. But most Christians in the world do

Because they are too.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. Christianity worldwide is maybe half Catholic, half not.

[Scrivener7]

9. So? They can't really disagree with him, Catholic or not.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. oh they definitely do

[Scrivener7]

15. But they can't do it out loud.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. They do all the time

[Scrivener7]

21. What he is pointing out here, is that they're not the Christians they say they are.

We all know that, but the head of an enormously powerful institution that has previously been coy and silent on this issue is saying it and not making any bones about it. He's pointing out their hypocrisy in an undeniable way. And yes, you'll say they won't care. But some will.

And he's putting some leg behind it. He is kneecapping Opus Dei, which is the actual ruling body for a lot of people behind things like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.

3. I wonder if he could be persuaded

To join BlueSky?

4. This is the finest post on the poor I've ever seen.

"The poorest are not only objects of our compassion,
but teachers of the Gospel. It is not a question of
"bringing" God to them, but of encountering Him
among them. Serving the poor is not a gesture to
be made "from above," but an encounter between
equals, where Christ is revealed and adored."

Thank you, Pope Leo.

6. great quote. thanks.

[newdeal2]

7. Even as someone not religious

I can appreciate it and adapt this teaching.

10. What is Yeshu ? A code word for something?

[ananda]

11. Maybe the Hebrew form of Jesus?

???

[Bread and Circuses]

19. Aramaic

[Jilly_in_VA]

12. It's Aramaic

Yeshua is the Aramaic for of Jesus. Aramaic is the language Jesus would have spoken in his family and with his disciples. "Yeshu" is more than likely what his mother would have hollered at him when calling him for supper when he was a kid playing in the streets. It's more of a pet name or nickname.

[Bread and Circuses]

20. Yes! Thanks for the Image of Mary hanging out laundry and yelling 'Yeshu'.....

[1WorldHope]

16. This is what I am talking about! Imagine if for the last 2,000 years this is where Christianity began and

where it stopped. If you actually live like that, then you are living your best life and that is where you will meet God. What kind of a world would that have been?

[misanthrope]

18. Silly pope

Doesn't he understand that poverty is original sin in America?
