Pope Francis did the right thing when others would not, says residential school survivor
Phil Fontaine spent more than a decade pushing the Catholic Church to apologize for its role in Canada’s residential school system, to no avail — until Pope Francis answered the call.

Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died at 88, the Vatican said in a video statement on Monday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/21/world/pope-francis-dies/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #popefrancis #obituary #religion
Le pape François, c'était l'anti-Macron par excellence, d'où des relations tumultueuses avec le président. A revoir sur @LeMediaTV avec Christine Pedotti directrice de Témoignages chrétiens et vaticaniste. Cette spécialiste du Vatican expliquait à quel point le Saint père n'aimait pas la France, nation laïque, et préférait de loin les périphéries. A revoir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR8sCUEYOfo
I don't need to look up Liberation Theology; I'm aware of what it is, and I don't fully agree with it (I agree with the liberation part, but not the theological basis of that liberation). I'd rather have my liberation efforts be based on observable and confirmable reality, not religious ideals that can't be proven. #theology #religion #socialism #communism #liberation

#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.

Marxists and Christians don't have the same mission. Marxism is a purely materialistic ideology that is opposed to all forms of idealism, especially Christianity. The mission of the Marxists is to create a world where things function based on material reality. Christians' mission is to create a world where things function based on the fictitious ideals of their religion. They're not the same. #socialism #communism #capitalism #marxism #anticapitalism #christian #Christianity #religion

@stiefel_fan The catholic #religion forced the world on a special day not to dance and not to laugh. They even force broadcasters not to cast satire tv or humerous tv shows. Laughing is forbidden on one day in the year.
So this is a good question, I guess. From a certain point of view ...
I don't understand how some people are outraged by and will never tolerate hypocrisy from a politician but will perform mental gymnastics to avoid the same from a religious leader.
Astonishing.
Pope Francis, committed to service, humility and healing, dead at 88
Pope Francis, whose nearly 12-year papacy ushered in a more open, welcoming Catholic Church that prioritized empathy for the poor and disenfranchised — including Indigenous victims of Canada's church-run residential schools — has died at 88, the Vatican said in a video statement Monday.

@sister_ratched Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
Hopefully when his last will & testament is read, he'll have mandated total termination of the catholic cult, full reparation to all victims or their estates globally, & any residual gifted to charities. Oh, ofc, also full handover of all dossiers of all the numerous paedophiles protected by this cult.

Le Pape meurt le lundi de Pâques, jour de "la victoire sur la mort" et de la résurrection, selon l'Eglise. Certes, François avait 88 ans et sa santé était très fragile mais mourir le jour de résurrection... Au passage, le souverain pontife s'est éteint 12h après avoir rencontré le fasciste J-D Vance. François était détesté par les catholiques ultra-conservateurs. La fumée blanche des cardinaux risque d'être plutôt brune, cette fois...
