    I don’t think the COOTWH cult got the memo.

    Halifax always goes the other way.  His track record proves that.  He's critical to everything.

    As a recovering Catholic, I'm bullish on the guy. Hopefully he's evolved in the past decade. We'll see. 

    I do think he's gonna bother MAGA types though. 

    everything bothers maga types. 

    no other group of people has a bigger butthurt/victim complex than they do.

    i love how they are calling the pope "woke".

    if those people actually followed what jesus said and did, they would be woke too.

    If I didn't know better and were only reading what is in this thread so far, I would have thought you all were talking about t as Pope.  It's like reading a MAGA take on the new Pope.  Read Heather's letter of 5/8/25, then maybe slow down a bit here.
    Man, I'm not saying y'all are totally wrong, but this all sounds like knee jerk to me.  Anybody really research this stuff?  Is the guy really pure evil? Are you itching for a good old fashioned lynching?  Or did he change some of his view in the last 12 years?  I don't know, but it happens.
    People, I hate to say it, but AMT is getting to be awfully goddamn thick with all the negativity, darkness, and hate. "A Morose Train".  Maybe let's not fight darkness with darkness.  Maybe let's fight darkness with light.  Strong light, not wimpy-ass light.
     It's spring.  Get out and smell some wildflowers (or leaves turning if you're in the southern hemisphere.  They're both great this year.
    Brian I expected this.  I couldn't find much on him but I do know he adopted the last Popes views on inclusion but this is the AMT and they love to knock someone down.
    They are AMTLibs Brian. They are miserable and hate everything.  Probably even themselves, considering how many of them act.

    Spot on. 
    So often, we see MAGA types walking around claiming to be Christians while professing and doing pretty much everything opposite of what Jesus was all about.  If we agree to define a Christian as "one who follows the teachings of Jesus", the hypocrisy of so many of these MAGA so-called "Christians" is off the charts.

    All I know for sure is that this pope is as sexist as the last one was when it comes to the role of women in the Catholic Church, and for that, the pope and the whole catholic churchin general can go fuck themselves.

    To be called “woke” in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult- it is Gospel”

    Bring it Pope Leo🔥🔥🔥

    OK folks, look, I don't know what the truth in all this Pope business is.  It's too easy to be fooled by almost any source of information these days.  If Pope Leo is innocent in regards to the sexual allegations, great, because otherwise, he seems like he could be a good Pope.  If he is guilty, fuck him. 
    But I'm no judge and besides, other than my wife and my cat, I don't have a lot of friends any more.  They're dropping like flies.  I've got yet another one getting ready to move on for sure, and another that may not be around much longer. 
    So I don't want to say things here that will cost me more friendships in other ways besides people dying, so I'm going to keep my damn mouth shut and, as much as possible, stay the hell away from AMT.  And yeah, sure, you can remind me of that or even give me shit about how I've said this before.  In fact, please do remind me, and please do give me shit.  That way, I'll stick to AET and Other Music where people there generally amiable and are cool with my old ass still being around this place.
    Adios (I hope!) A Morose Train.

    BREAKING🇻🇦🇺🇦:

    This is HUGE. New Pope Leo XIV openly calls out Russia as the aggressor in Ukraine. No bullshit neutrality like Pope Francis.
    He basically straight up says it, Russia invaded, Russia is guilty, and the world must stop pretending otherwise.

    He even shades certain politicians (likely Trump, Orban, and the rest of the pro-Russia clowns) who stay silent or defend Putin’s war crimes.
    This is the first Pope in a long time with a spine. A real moral stance. No “both sides” bullshit
