Pope Francis - Blog Posts
I hope Pope Francis comes back three days later to do a Willy Wonka-esque choosing of the new pope
Pope Francis has died.
I know to a lot of people on the left and in the LGBTQ+ community, he wasn’t exactly seen as a holy herald of progressive values. That said I think he was more helpful to our community than we have ever really given credit.
The Catholic Church is hugely entrenched in the past. They may not ever accept gay marriage within our lifetime. But if you compare Pope Francis to any other Pope that came before him, he did more to progress the Catholic Church than anyone else ever has. He constantly spoke out saying that the church needed to accept LGBTQ+ members. He has denounced laws that criminalise homosexuality. He supported same sex civil unions—which I was literally taught was evil and dangerous when I was in Catholic high school. Transgender people can be baptized and same sex couples can be blessed because of him.
He was never enough, of course. He has affirmed the teaching that gay marriage is not spiritually possible and prior to becoming pope he opposed the legalization of same sex marriage. He has said gay children should seek psychiatric care. He has also been even less accepting of transgender people than same sex couples.
But at the same time he was the most empathetic Pope to have existed in the past several hundred years. I have left the church because I no longer believe in God, but I do recognize that the Catholic Church has power over huge swaths of the world. My mother still believes in her Catholic faith and has always stood by this idea: it’s impossible to move a behemoth organisation like the Church overnight. She stays in the community because she wants it to become better. She pushes, in her own small way, a little bit every day towards what she thinks is right. In this conversation, that is the acceptance of LGBTQ+ youths. Pope Francis was helpful in moving the Church away from a stance of hate. Now I hope that whoever the cardinals choose next for pope is someone who joins her in pushing that ball forward.
Heard that JD Vance killed the Pope
Would it be insensitive to say I know know who is coming back as Trisha’s kid this early?
just talked to a another friend, and was informed/reminded of the irony of him dying the literal day after easter sunday
what.
i just woke up and was informed the pope has died via a friend
he then says that jd vance did it and called vance a rat bastard, then tried to get me to scream it across my house to inform the masses.
this is a great sadness to be having right after waking up

Watching Pope Francis funeral and I just can’t help but get choked up. He was such a good man and truly embodies what it means to be Catholic. I pray we will get a pope who loves.
CHAT TH POPE JUST FUCKING DIED WTF LMAO
I'd like to remember Pope Francis as the Pope who called a ton of priests faggots, apologized for it, then called them all faggots again
Rest in peace, Pope Francis. You will be missed by all Catholic Christians all over the world.
@aroace-get-out-of-my-face we did in fact speedrun this i fear. ford is highly concerned.
With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Pope Francis—a man of peace, compassion, and unwavering humanity. His voice stood boldly for justice, and his heart was open to the suffering of people around the world, especially in Gaza. He prayed for my child, Qais, after he was injured in the war. Today, I humbly ask our Christian brothers and sisters: in honor of Pope Francis, please Donate to help save Qais. Let your gift be a gesture of love and mercy in his memory.
Pope Francis was a true beacon of solidarity:
1. He repeatedly spoke out against the violence in Gaza, calling for an end to the bloodshed and suffering of innocent civilians.
2. He showed deep empathy for Palestinian women, acknowledging their strength and pain as they endured unbearable conditions.
3. He reminded the world that every child, including those in Gaza, deserves safety, dignity, and care, regardless of borders or politics.
As we say goodbye to a spiritual father who stood with the oppressed, let us carry forward his legacy. I am just a mother trying to save her son. Your donation for Qais is not just charity—it is a tribute to Pope Francis's love for peace and justice. Even a small gift can help Qais get the treatment he needs. May your kindness be a blessing for his soul and a lifeline for my child.

Please stop ✋🚨 Pope Francis died today—you're the only hope to save a child’s life 😔😭

lowkey sad abt the pope i fw him more than the others
Stanley Pines winning the title of Tumblr sexy man 2025 and Pope dying gotta be the funniest shit ever this year I'm dead serious
Wait wait wait, so you're telling me, that not only did Stan win the Tumblr Sexyman contest on Weed Day, BUT HE ALSO SOMEHOW KILLED THE FUCKING POPE?!
tbh the pope dying a day after d vance isn't that great. i'd have died on the spot on account of breathing the same air.
Okay, okay. I know what happened. Stanley and the Pope were smoking weed together to celebrate Stanley's win (Stanley and the Pope are good friends), when Doofenshmirtz hit the Pope with the Haveastrokeinator 3000, which was the only invention in his entire history that worked exactly the way it was supposed to. It didn't even explode afterwards.
I just realized something. And of course this would happen. But Stanley won the Tumblr competition. On weed day. He swears up and down that he doesn't smoke weed, but considering how rank his bedroom smells, I'd say this makes perfect sense.
Happy weed day, Stanley.
