Whe I was 22, I was sure I wasn’t fit to lead a team, let alone a country.

Boy, was I wrong!

Impeach 2: this time we mean it. Coming to a theater near you.

So childish.

It’s funny how the article mentions that Russia punished the ICC when they issued an arrest for Putin. Now the US is behaving the same way,but for Netanyahu

Not an American.
Utah is where the Amish live, isn’t it?

In march, Unilever (B&J’s parent company) fired B&J’s CEO because he was expressing too many activistic opinions on social media. They’re a bunch of hippies. Than they sued Unilever and they got their CEO back. Now the founder is getting arrested.

This is an American story. Psychological help is not an option there.

Underestimating your enemy is often a fatal mistake

Do you mean Victor Manuel Fernandez? Seems like he didn’t handle allegations a pedophilia on account of one of his underlings very well, but that makes him a bad leader.

Although… it’s not an easy thing to handle. I once volunteered in a team that taught small children and there was one person who crossed the line during my time there. (I never witnessed any of it). It wasn’t so bad that police had to get involved. No touchy stuff, “just” bad words. But it was bad enough that we had to fire the guy and blacklist the guy and have a few meetings with parents. By the way, we would have involved police if parents wanted, but they didn’t.

As an organistion, you’re wholy unprepared to handle ith this situation and it always catches you by surprise. So of course we did not fire the guy immediately. Than it happened again and we were better prepared and fired the guy after a rough talk.

The curch is not a small organisation and should have already had procedures in place for that kind of situation. But the cardinal himself and his constituency (or what you call it) is much smaller and it may have taken him by surprise as well. It’s only human to make mistakes in a situation like this. He even admitted his mistake shortly after.

Yet shitty news site. I even clicked “allow the cookies” and I still couldn’t read the article because of some other pop up demanding my email adres.

Francis allowed gay marriage and gay priests. He opened the church to criminal investigations when there were allegations of fraud. He got vaccinated against covid and encouraged everyone to do the same. He encouraged people to take climate change serious. He was very connected with poor people and immigrants, didn’t live in a palace.

He wasn’t perfect, but better than his predecessors. He still denied transgender people and was not very proactive on allowing gay marriage. He spoke against sexual abuse in the church, but effectively did not do much about it. He claimed a zero tolerance, but did not practice it. He was very outspoken against abortion.

All in all he put the church on a more progressive and modern path and that’s a good thing. I also think the church is bullshit, but they influence a whole lot of people, so it’s good if they follow a less evil path. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress.

Its a good pope. He will likely be continuing the progressive course of the old pope
