Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
They did. And they're called Zionists. The idea? Gaza: a more fenced off open air concentration camp approach, where you can ban world media coverage and commit genocide without anyone really knowing the full extent of the horror.
LGBTQ+ Catholics
Isn't that like an oxymoron or something
It's moronic, at any rate..
I know that part of growing up Catholic is excessive guilt, but being LGBTQ+ without realizing that the whole religion is toxic and specifically harmful to people like you is some Log Cabin Republican level of denial!
The "oxy" is where you went wrong.
Black americans for trump ask him if he can be less racist.
If you're trying to reconcile LGBTQ+ interests with Catholicism, maybe it's time you just took the damn hint. Abandon archaic religions and free your conscience.
Asking the spokesperson of the biggest paedophile ring on the planed to reconsider maybe accept them despite their hatred for everything they are and represent is wild.
LGBTQ+ Catholics? How the fuck does that make sense?
Until John Paul the Second, Catholics didn’t care. Most of the priests were gay. In a different era where coming out was not a legitimate option for most, being a priest was a pretty good way to have a fulfilling life.
There was a shortage of priests. People looked the other way about what happened after hours.
It doesn't.
People real upset about LGBTQ+ Catholics.
The group petitioning the Pope is not only not hurting people (either through dogma or otherwise), but are actively trying to make the world better by easing what are already rancorous divisions.
Let people have their harmless comforts while they can.
The meeting transpired about six months after the Vatican released “Dignitas Inifinita” (Infinite Dignity), in which it referred to gender-affirming care as threat to human dignity akin to poverty, abuse, and war.
Sorry, the Pope is infallible. If you align your gender, you're basically Stalin.
the Pope is infallible
Technically, the pope needs to explicitly invoke infallibility before making a statement if he wants it to be infallible. The last time this was done was 1950 to state Mary, mother of Jesus, had both her body and soul transported to heaven. Other statements are just the pope's opinion and followers of the faith are allowed to disagree without being heretical.
Thanks for this info, this is very interesting! I'm not religious but I find this kind of thing fascinating.
Also, I think there is a bit of a mistranslation: the Catholic Church most likely does not consider material poverty a sin, they meant "being poor in spirit", or lacking any good values.
Pfft, amateurs. Discordian popes can apply infallibility retroactively.
"Dear god, are you sure?"
If you change your gender that means god wants you too right? Otherwise the cunt wouldn't be all powerful.
Humans have free will, so no, god cannot tell you what to do. He can ask you to not do something, but in the end it's your choice. For which they can eternally punish you, but yaknow. First ammendment rules.
leader of worlds largest pedophile ring says something disgusting. big shock.
