The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
totally agree. one time i complained to a co-worker about how destructive to birds the wind turbines are, and she said, "well there won't be any birds at all if we don't stop climate change." Hard to argue with that, at least not with someone you have to work with everyday. So to save the sparrows of the future we have to kill all the eagles today? and then of course it will be, "whoops! turns out we didn't need those wind turbines after all!"
I’m terrible at debating. What would be a one sentence rebuttal? I mentioned nuclear but she scared of “the waste.” The best I could think of was “why are we trying to control the whole planet?”
In this kind of situation I generally say something about their mom.
"Your mom's fat ass blotting out the sun will save us."
"Your mom's thighs generate enough friction to cause brush fires."
"Your mom's hot beefs could power a small city."
lol -- i wish i was the kinda person who could say those things! one thing I miss about everyone working together at an "office" was hearing other people say the things I wish I could say. Now they've sent all of us home to "telework" and it's boring as hell.
