The Vatican: Sorry Gays!
Tuesday Jun 18, 2024
Tuesday Jun 18, 2024
You know it's June when everything turns rainbow themed and the Pope suddenly takes an interest in the gays (or gay-money). The Pope used a slur behind closed doors when talking about gays in the church. The story appeared in the Italian press and a minute later the world was ablaze with opinions about why this Pope used "that word." Pope Francis has made great effort to introduce the word "inclusivity" to Catholic dogma, and he has received some pushback from others within the church. The gays and sane people everywhere were pleased to hear the Pope say that gays are humans and probably deserve some basic human rights. Then, alas, the use of a slur is leaked to the press and now the gays feel betrayed.
What did the Pope say, why did he say it, and what does it mean? We have all the answers (aka opinions) and the receipts (aka d*ck jokes) in this week's episode!
Our AI friend seems to be on vacation, or apparently doesn't like stories about the Pope (following is the AI summary and usually it's 35 paragraphs with lots of hearts and flowers - but not this week!):
