I have your excommunication forms in front of me now. Anything you would like to say before I post them off to Rome in the morning?

Behold, another second coming. But this one is Donald Trump – WAY BETTER than that Jesus guy | Marina Hyde The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope – and he posts himself as Potus Almighty. Will his disciples now see that their messiah has feet of clay, asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Check out RScully's fascinating comments on this article (it's a Guardian Pick).

Popes normally quote New Testament, but Leo cited Isaiah the anti-Assyrian prophet. RScully shows up the similarity between Trump's rhetoric and that of the Assyrian kings.

The whole Vance “aliens are demons” thing is not at all a new concept, there’s a whole branch of ufology folks that think it’s their Christian duty to study UFOs to know what demonic forces are up to. Here’s a pamphlet distributed in the 1950s by a televangelist about it

It's always men, isn't it!

Pope Leo says God rejects prayers of leaders who wage wars Pope Leo said on Sunday that God rejects the ‌prayers of leaders who start wars and have "hands full of blood", in unusually forceful remarks as the Iran war entered its second month.

In this thread @jackbern.bsky.social aces it they say, his doctors tell him. Bigly likes and THE BEST RATINGS the world has ever seen.

Also, if you borrow an author's book from a library in the UK, that author gets more than 12 pence per loan in Public Lending Rights. Any author can earn up to £6,600 per year this way.

For context: I published my 15th book last year. The advance I received for it was considerably less than £6,600.

If it's Cary Grant's birthday, it must surely be time for me to post the "puppy in the jacket pocket" picture again. Be rude not to, really.

Good to see such dissent in Trumponia. Want to see more of this, and Democrats speaking out loudly and visiting Greenland voice support against this terriple idea.

Republican dissent as key figures warn Trump against Greenland pursuit www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Yes, that’s really the current Pope circa 1982.

The failure to include this picture of the future Pope Leo XIV in response to this quote is at least a venal sin, and possibly a mortal one.
