A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not even the pope
I don't know that a screenshot of twitter is proof of anything, especially after the proliferation of AI.
But, go read about the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Even if I'm wrong in my opinion, you'll learn some new things.
Honestly I think it is wrong to compare modern day to anything over a few decades old. You can't hold Catholics responsible for things that happened centuries ago. You can only hold them to the now.
Also not all Catholics believe the same things.
