Wednesday Reads: Black Sabbath

Posted: October 21, 2020 | Author: | Filed under: just because |10 Comments

Living the last four years is like being in a Mario Bava horror anthology film.

Every day is something new, terrible and short-lived. Beyond explanation, only with the Bava film you get awesome cinematography and great storytelling. With tRump you get the misery that goes with a real life nightmare.

Is there some sense that even the Pope is moving on with progress and accepting love is love?

Pope Francis, in a new documentary, has called for the creation of civil union laws for same-sex couples, in what amounts to his clearest support to date for the issue. In the documentary, according to the Catholic News Agency, Francis says same-sex couples should be “legally covered," adding: “what we have to create is a civil union law." Francis has long expressed an interest in outreach to the church’s LGBT followers, but his remarks have often stressed general understanding and welcoming — rather than substantive policies. The documentary, “Francesco,” is premiering this week in Rome and later in the United States. The pope gave an interview to the filmmaker, Evgeny Afineevsky, saying that “homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family.” Read more by clicking the link in our bio.

I think I will leave it in that positive note.

This is an open thread.

    No matter how hard I try to ignore it this shitshow of a presidency manages to catch up to me and its always something worse than before. We have to get rid of him before he brings the whole country down like any Trump project.

      I’m confused. Not that Ghouliani would do something like this (of course he would), but if it really happened the way it’s been reported.

    Bit of a surprise re the Pope. Still waiting for him to do the really big one.Recognize that half of humanity are actual real human beings.

      I think this a different pope than we’ve seen ever before because he was not a colonizer but a person growing up in a different environment that Europeans especially ones from like Italy, etc which have overrun civilizations and indigenous people for centuries. Even though he represents a religion that has been a primary tool for colonization perhaps he has a little less arrogance because he’s not be steeped in the western european chauvinism.

      The radical notion that women are human beings will take a loooooong time to be accepted by the Catholic church. Hades, it’s not even accepted by many other institutions.
