Bonus #Joke
A man joined a cloistered order, and one of the things he noticed was that the same food was served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Also, all the meals were eaten in silence except for one elderly monk who would say "Hebrews, Chapter 13 verse 8" before every meal.

After a week or so of this ritual, he was intrigued and decided to look up this passage in the Bible.

When he did, he burst out laughing because it said, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever!"

(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

Photo of two monks, seated in small folding chairs on some grass, one behind the other. The one in the rear is bending forward and holding some of the rope used to tie the other monk's robe shut as a belt. It appears he is trying to tie it around the back of the chair. Meme text reads, "When good monks go bad."

Did you know that the #pope reigning in 1978 died mysteriously after just 34 days?

Pope John Paul I was 65 yrs old when he retired to his chambers on the 27th. Sep. 1978.

He had heard of youths getting killed & lamented about it.

He was found the next day with his night light still on.

#Conspiracy theories abound:

Was he involved in a corruption scandal with the Vatican Bank?
Did the #Freemasons get him?
Did he piss off traditional #Catholics?

Or was it simply a heart attack?

#BreakingNews
#PopeFrancis died on Monday morning, at the age of 88.

I'm not #Catholic , but I think it's ironic that his last official diplomatic act was meeting with #JDVance-- an American Nazi and a Fascist, someone who will never repent of his countless human rights violations, and who has been MISleading a vast number of "Evangelicals" into hate and anti-Christian ideology.

I hope the media now begins to focus on Francis' pro-human rights and pro-immigrant messages, and that his successor continues to call for compassion and justice for the poorest and most persecuted people of the world.

Now, more than ever, the Christian faith (Catholic & Protestant) needs leadership who will take Christians on a path of love and acceptance, instead of fear and hate.

[This was EDITED to reflect @ColinWilding 's information, found in the replies. I highly recommend reading through his link.]

As a New Jersey-raised Catholic of Italian descent, Greg Olear asks Leonard Leo, a New Jersey-raised Catholic of Italian descent with enormous political power through the Federalist society, if he's okay with what he and other right-wing Catholics have now set in motion:

"Although the legacy media is reluctant to say so, Musk has outed himself as a Nazi."

Growing up in a #Luthren family, I thought #protestantism was a sort of democratic, secular kind of denomination.

Come to find out that the hatred for #Catholics is because it's an opposing denomination and not because of the papal state or it's brutal history.

I knew that their hatred and fear defined them when I said "I have aunties called Fatima" and received the reply "I will never have anything to do with them or trust them".

"Forgive them, lord,
for they do not know what they do."

"Having loyally argued for low taxes and small government for more than a generation, having deconstructed the separation of church and state laid out in the First Amendment, they now find themselves on the short end of their bargain with the GOP."

"He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon": trample the church-state dividing line, feed unabashedly at the government trough while claiming special privileges, and invite karmic retribution.

Marci Hamilton sheds no tears that white evangelicals and right-wing Catholics are now seeing federal funding ripped from their charitable organizations, because:

"White evangelicals are learning to be careful what you wish for. When religious groups obtain the right to receive taxpayer dollars for their missions, they also insert themselves into a pipeline that can be turned on and off at will."

Robert P. Jones notes that as the obvious, fulsome, toxic lies poured out of the man's mouth last night, behind him clapping and cheering stood two men who wear their Christianity on their sleeve, one Catholic, the other evangelical: J.D. Vance and Mike Johnson.

Christians and lies.

Trump and lies.

Trump and Christians and lies.
