To be called 'woke' in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult - it is the Gospel. Woke means awakened by compassion. Guided by truth. Humbled by grace. Committed to justice - not just for some, but for all.
~ Pope Leo XIV

I mean, I'd kind of expect that in a Pope, but I'm glad he said it anyway. He should make sure the bishops understand and are actively implementing it as the mission of the church.
GAH!

Agreed Sue; but would you expect the Spanish Inquisition?
Popes, like many religious leaders, have often lost sight of the church's mission in favor of political expediency throughout history.

Pope Leo XIV and King Charles III just healed a 500 year old rift!

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I consider it a bonus that it made the Democratic Unionists and the Orange Order set their hair on fire.
It was a bit much to have accused the late Queen Mother of fornicating with the Antichrist. At least in Princess Margaret's case it was a reasonable assumption, given that she has fornicated with pretty much anyone.

Huzzah to Margaret! No reason we womenfolk shouldn't be as 'slutty' as you menfolk, IF we want to be!

Somebody has to do it . . . "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition" etc
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
