An example of a political view with an implicit recommendation.
Up to you to decide if denouncement of fascism is applicable to American politics or not.

givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 year agoWhy would the pope comment on American politics? Let alone ne endorse a party?
And like someone else already said, the American leadership of the Catholic Church is really rightwing.

That’s not about a specific country…
Which was my whole point, the pope is much larger than any one leader.
It’s like blaming Biden for Kentuckys education issues, that’s just not on his plate because he’s in charge of the entire country, their are 100s of people in between them.

There is a sizable anti-Catholic sentiment in the US. Many of the early colonizers came here to escape Catholicism. Even the KKK was anti-Catholic in addition to being super racist.

Not even a little bit…
They were religious extremists mad that the dominant European sects of Christianity wouldn’t force everyone to follow their more rigid rules.
The only “persecution” they escaped was not being able to force their rules on everyone else. So they came here where they could be a majority, and 200 some years later America is still more repressed because of it.
You’re repeating the fairytale version kids get taught in elementary, not what happened

Predominantly Catholic Europe hasn’t exactly been kind to other religions historically. Even if they may have been more extreme, they were hardly tolerated.
