Ah yes, exactly what I tell my boss when I do stupid stuff for fun
Ah yes, famously socially progressive Stalin
I mean, there are catholic priests and officials that are very liberal - they do exist. But those people do usually not even get into a position as a bishop, so they are not on the table to potentially become cardinals.
Vatican itself does not have much influence on this election. Francis was smart enough to appoints lots of bishops from “remote” regions like for example Mongolia or Pakistan, who have not been able to form political networks with each other and make it far more difficult for court intrigues to work out. Yes , the conclave surely will see those again, but there should be a counter weight at play here
You should know that lots of countries and societies will not do this. Especially in the global south.
There is a roman saying, “the one who enters conclave as the pope [to be] leaves it as a mere cardinal”
The catch is that he did not appoint by ideology. His appointments were mainly based on the guys doing work for poor people, for migrants, and on them doing their jobs in the global south.
Quite a few of these he made cardinals are somewhat conservative in their views, especially regarding sexuality
That poor man probably has no idea he is in this meme 💀
I would suggest the best people to end it would be the teenagers’ friends and the adult partners’ friends. Much more likely they’d listen to them.
This here. Being fine with it or not being fine with it is one thing.
But expressing that or trying to do anything about it is a completely different thing. Knowing teenagers, the consequences could be unintended

Have you watched The Apprentice – The Trump Story movie? It’s not a documentary of course, but depicts his transformation from an unsecure young man into that unnatural Trump persona
It might even be from one of the very first few live streaming sites, where you didnt stream a video but rather your Webcam would take pictures every 2 seconds and instantly upload them to the server.
Now, with this juice box we could for the first time have some clues regardin who the girl in the photo actually is and when/where the photos/videos were talen.

Imported US culture (movies, TV etc) has successfully planted the idea in a lot of people that teenagers under 18 are “essentially the same as little children”. So no one cares about technicalities.
The issue here is that most countries define the age of consent differently. I think we can agree that when a 16 year old agrees to sexual contact with another 16 year old, the dynamic is different than if they agree to it with a 40 year old. Absolutely. But that does not mean that the 16 year old doesnt understand what they are doing.
I can assure you that the judiciary system in my country does work. It’s just that these people either a. just want to beat someone up and need an excuse, or b. don’t agree with our laws and think it should be prison time for a 18 year old who wants to date a 16 year old, or a 21 year old who wants to date a 17 year old.
They lump far more people into the same group. They attack anyone whom they think they can, even if they know that their accusations are BS.
So… Lemmy itself gives admins the possibility to see votes, but admins using this tool to see votes is a problem? Maybe I am misunderstanding something here?
