Did he vote from St. Peter's Chair?

a ballot for the midterm elections that will decide control of the US Congress.

I guess so

If it's not ex cathedra it's just a sparkling infallibility

I Holy See what you did there.

The Pope voting...

Will he vote for the party that is in support of the values of Vatican regarding underage sex, that, however, is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus? Or the one that is less distant from Jesus's teachings?

Do you mean diametrically opposed? I've never heard diagonally opposed used outside of it's literal spatial meaning before.

I don't really have an opinion on this, but it feels really weird. Though elected to the rôle, Pope Leo is one of the world's last absolute monarchs, answerable to no one. Partly because of this the Vatican isn't even in the U.N.

Like I said, no real opinion on it, and I suppose that legally there's no reason to keep an absolute monarch from voting in U.S. elections—it's not like dual citizenship isn't absolutely normal—but it does feel strange somehow to have a monarch vote in a republic's elections.

I almost asked the same.

Perhaps acutely opposed, or obtusely opposed?

I think “post your ballot” should be the new “show your taxes”

The fun part is you could be referring to either party lol

On the topics of underage sex and the teachings of Jesus, neither party really stands above the other.

Obviously Trump is a fart.

I guess there is no BoneAppleTea equivalent on lemmy...

There is absolutely no way this pope is voting republican.

It sounded kind of funny, but English does a lot of things in funny ways, so I figured that's probably how it's said in English and went with it.

Thanks for the correction, I edited the word to written correctly now :)

I would actually say that one of the parties is less hostile to the poor and minorities than the other.

Given literally every single one of this guy's public statement, this is 100% a blue vote. Like, y'all he doesn't hate you as much as you hate him.

I was thinking the same. But that means he's voting against his own staff. We know the hobbies of Catholic priests :(

I wouldn't say I hate him. He's just a Pope and it feels illogical that a pope would not vote for the party whose main point is enabling important people to have sex with minors.

The Pope's Catholic, after all, isn't he? Why is he not supporting the main hobby of the Catholic clergy?
