@Sicilianuss@HazThomist He was indeed elected as a liberal compared to a liberal turned very conservative Pius IX. Yet Leo XIII also turned conservative in his pontificate.
@epalascianook@RorateCaeli Alexander VI was a degenarate sinner himself and he knew it but he never undermined the Church's teaching. That is a huge difference between now and then.
@SpanglishKrin@EricRSammons@ProtecttheFaith Parolin (who presides over the Conclave) read the oath and now they come one-by one saying something like: "And I, N., promise and swear. So help me God and the Gospel I put my hand on"
@FaveatFortuna@ShadowBard@Sola_Requiem I thought it was more than 30% but that's not really important. They also changed a ton of other rites, like Baptism, Confirmation, exorcism, blessings of all kinds.
@FatherChrisVor1 @KevinMZielinski @S0nCharlemagne @Sola_Requiem Novus Ordo Offertory not watered down or deficient? Seriously?

@james_rozoff@RomanianInSwe@EmmanuelMacron Stories from fictional world. russia has access to the Black Sea via Sochi and Kuban. Who was trying to lodge them from that access? What nonsense are you spouting?
@Jonttu65737757@PedroSa63064390 @DrBrainMD @ohrwurm_AT @apmassaro3 And the reason is that kremlin's tenant loves raising the stakes and he perceives this 'We won't do X' message as a weakness which brings him more audacity to go on with his plan to use nukes
@Jonttu65737757@PedroSa63064390 @DrBrainMD @ohrwurm_AT @apmassaro3 I believe the main point is that he used a negative formula. We won't do X. Just like everyone was saying NATO soldiers won't fight before the war. Ad nauseam. He could have said what they would do (destroy ru army), not what they won't do
@ivanastradner Lada is FIAT and Moskvich really looks like Opel and later models look like Chrysler, Volga is copied from Ford. Even 'russian' AK-47 looks really similar to Schmeisser's rifle. So, it's questionnable whether 'russian' goods are really russian
