I'm probably not the first to point this out, and it's minor in comparison to everything else that administration is doing, but the wording is so insincere?

His heart goes out to all the Christians who loved Pope Francis, but he's not including himself in that or anyone else that wasn't Christian but still cared about him? A thoughts and prayers tweet would've been less awkward.

Yeah, super awkward. If you were being specific to his followers, you’d say Catholics. If you’re being generic, you’d say his admirers or whatever. “Christians” is such a weird middle ground that includes some people who followed him religiously and some who didn’t but appreciated him anyway.

  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
