POPE: Mary History's Biggest 'Influencer'…

With her “yes”, Mary became the most influential woman in history. Without social networks, she became the first “influencer”: the “influencer” of God.

http://archive.today/2019.01.28-075755/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-27/pope-francis-calls-mary-history-s-biggest-influencer

Pope Francis invited a crowd of young Catholics gathered in Panama City to follow the footsteps of the Virgin Mary, calling her the biggest “influencer” of all times. “The young woman of Nazareth didn’t appear in the social networks of the time, she wasn’t an influencer, but without wanting it or seeking it, she became the woman that had the biggest influence in history,” Pope Francis said during a World Youth Day address in Panama City on Saturday.

Organizers estimated about 600,000 people attended a main event of the festival east of Panama City, according to the Associated Press. Many spent the night in tents or on sleeping mats ahead of an early morning final Mass to end the religious festival. After riding through the cheering crowds in his popemobile, Francis said he understood their anxieties and fears for a future where jobs are scarce and education not always available, the AP reported. The vigil ended a busy day that included a luncheon with 10 young pilgrims representing each of the continents. The young people said they were surprised at Francis’ informality and interest in their questions, according to the report.

Just shoot me.

Did he just use modern business language to describe Mary? What a heap of trash. I can't wait for this Pope to actually leave Panama and never come out of his hole again.

And people think Catholic idolatry and Mary worship is a meme.

The worst thing the Church can do is pander.

It's like every time I pray for Francis to make good decisions Francis makes worse ones. God's will be done I guess, but I'm sad to see Rome failing so hard; even as an Anglican, Rome remains a center-point in the Christian religion and something the world watches (for some reason). It would be nice if Francis didn't set fire to holy tradition, it would bring up the tone of all the churches.

It is a meme. Have you ever met an actual idolator? Like a Hindu from India? Once you have you'll see that veneration is totally different from idolatry.

waifu threads are probably a good example of idolatry. They unironically feel bad if they don't tell their waifu they love them every day n shit, it's an amazing thing to behold.

Is this true? I thought people had waifus to pretend they were winnie the pooh it, not an imaginary relationship like with a real girl.

> Influencer

I hate that word, it just shows how little marketers think of their consumers. On the topic, every time the Chuch tries to be cool it comes off like "how do you do, fellow kids" cringe. Not just that, it looks weak when you have to imitate modern trends, like you have nothing genuine yourself to offer.

This. I know what the Holy Father means, but the vocabulary is cringy as winnie the pooh.

Old people just don't know what youngsters like and they even sound worse when they try to look cool.

And this thing of the World Youth Day, although it's on the paper a good idea, it is imo a failure. The TV showed a group of hundreds of supposed Catholic youth of my country when the news came that the next one would be in my country.

Holy shit they look the opposite of catholics.

Firstly they were singing protestant tier songs, their clothes were secular as they could be and then even girls talked like normal thots and were even hugging several dudes.

To them the pope is nothing more than a cool pop star with an hat.

Its so winnie the pooh sad that it hurts.

Tldr: the youth go to this meetings as an excuse to spend some days away from their parents under the disguise of religion so they can't winnie the pooh on tents like when they go to summer musical festivals.

It goes far deeper than that, sadly.

Oh you know what I mean.

Think of an college party where girls are hugging dudes.

Its sad that these good projects die in the water because young people just want to leave mommy and daddy's place and go winnie the pooh other people's holes.
