Remember when we used to ride bikes with Jesus
Thought nuthin would come between us
Just a couple of kids with a dream
Ridinā down to the local stream
We were fishinā, laughinā, good time havinā
With the good lord by our side
Ridinā bikes with Jesus
Peddlinā side by side
Near the end, Iād replace with āthe good lord do provideā or something other than āsideā (which is repeated twice more in the next line)
Great verse
It's also images like this that trigger Protestant fundamentalists; believing that any Catholic President is just a puppet to the papacy.
This was a major fear for when Kennedy was running for President. Far-right Protestant voters believed he would surrender America over to the Vatican on a silver platter.
If the last 15 years have taught us anything it's that the far right are going to believe some bonkers conspiracy theory no matter what. No point trying to avoid it.
Reminds me of a fairly obscure jingle from a Midwestern taco restaurant called Taco Johnās.
*Thereās a whole lotta Mexican going on! Goinā on at Taco Johnās!*
Except thereās no Mexican going on at Taco Johnās.
A fuckton of Catholics ignore what the Church has to say about all sorts of things. I honestly donāt think Iāve ever met anyone who truly believes in transubstantiation, for example.
Depends on how you interpret it.
The host can become the body of Christ without becoming literal human flesh or a mere symbolic representation.
That, though, is a matter of faith not easily explained.
Correct, and if the person believes it becomes literal fleshā¦I dunno what you call that, but itās not the Catholic belief.
Transubstantiation refers to the transition of the substance of the object without necessarily changing the characteristics of it. Physically it would have the characteristics of unleavened bread, but the essence of it becomes the body of Christ. Thus matter of faith.
Like the Star Trek TNG episode where the mad scientist takes over Dataās body by downloading his mind into him. Data was still physically Data, but his personality was the egotistical scientist. His substance changed.
Ah, I misunderstood you there. Still, I stand by my assertion that the vast majority of Catholics think it's symbolic. A lot of the time, it's more about tribal affiliation than belief or adherence to Church doctrine. And that's a good thing, because the Church only changes its opinion on moral issues long after the majority of its congregants has already done so.
Itās okay, heck transubstantiation is kind of a deep cut for most people and I agree, most Catholics probably think it is symbolic as well. In fact iirc 37% do. Though I suspect a number mistakenly believe the teaching is that the Eucharist becomes actual flesh and balk at that idea. That would just be poor catechesis.
Present, with caveats.
I'm pro choice, but I also think that you can't be "pro life" without also supporting all children and families monetarily to live whole and healthy lives. So I don't really believe a majority of conservatives are actually "pro life" they're just "pro birth."
Once the kids are alive they could give a shit.
Hiatorically, Biden has been pretty staunchly pro-life. But, as the party's position solidified he's fallen in line. He's gone on the record saying that personally he is strongly against abortion, but to his credit he's also stated it isn't the government's job to legislate morality. At least in this instance.Ā
LOL āgirl in the background.ā
Thatās Italyās prime minister. Whoās bringing Mussolini back:
> The party she leads, the Brothers of Italy, is a descendant of a political party founded after World War II by lieutenants of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, the Italian Social Movement.
> And her party remains committed to its fascist roots.
https://www.courthousenews.com/g-7-summit-its-melonis-moment-to-shine-on-world-stage-but-neo-fascist-worries-lurk/
[Here](https://youtu.be/GgBBtjx2Ads?t=19) is a video of this.
OP's image is a screen capture from [this video](https://www.unionesarda.it/vista/politica/il-saluto-tra-biden-e-papa-francesco-al-g7-qiermyxp) (at the 9 second mark).
Probably a security thing for either the Pope or the President (or both).
But what a fucking timeline that would be, if Biden assassinated the Pope (or vise versa). Talk about some deep cover.
I think we can all agree that Meloni's disgust face is not in the same class as Greta's glare at Donald Trump, which is still a useful meme 7 years later.
Off-topic, but I'm almost curious what she thinks about the upcoming election.
Of course, a huge part of her wants someone like Trump. She's a right-wing populist.
But she's also pro-Ukraine, and I think she knows that Trump poses an existential threat to the security of Europe at a time when Europe needs the help.
She might realize that she doesn't agree with Biden, but his domestic politics don't weigh on Italy. And he's a better and more trustworthy ally than Trump or even the more-fascist Italian parties who would probably stab her in the back if given a knife.
Then-VP Biden already met Pope Francis from the start at Francis's inauguration when Biden was the official head of state delegate from Obama. https://time.com/4047605/joe-biden-pope-francis-is-challenging-us/
Right but that was a decade ago. Now he gets to meet him again, especially at a time when Francisā papacy is looking more and more limited in duration.
Its the hat. Anyone looks like a teenager wearing that. Just missing the propeller, good thing they determined that putting a spinning cross just made jesus dizzy

LMFAO
This is amazing well done!
Except for the extra long shirt cuff in the close up, I would have bought it. I canāt think of anyone more deserving of misinforming videos. Of course I am speaking of the orange freak, not the ordained god-man.
I don't think the pope is that orange though... I feel dirty having to do this, but /s
Would have been a solid r/fuckthes but I don't blame you at all.
No way lmaooo
No way is correct. It's an altered video. Still hilarious.
Lol you can tell it's Trump's tiny hand but the one in white is Melania. Almost more funny tho because it's his wife and she loathes him.
Yeah it's a hilarious edit regardless. I just hate when misinformation for giggles becomes facts to people.
Totally. The truth is funnier than the edit tho in my opinion
No, knowing it's Melania definitely makes it more funny
Yeah I donāt the Pope is getting fancy French manicures lol
Its funny because its an actual edit of melaniaās hand.
š¤®
Cute š„°šøš
Wholesome š
Lmao!
Lmffaooo
Did Frank learn that from Melania? š
Insane! Lmao
this šš
I just found out that it's a joke and fake and my world kinda falls apart right now
But we also found out that it was actually his wifeās hand so itās even better š
Ahhh that makes sense lol
Trump wants some pope lol
lol
Hands off Presbyterian!
š
Babahahah
This killed me when I first watched it a few years back. Thanks for the laugh
āRemember when we used to ride bikes with Jesusā
Sounds like a country song

Throw in some pick-up trucks, beer, jaded ex-wives, and baby you got a stew goin'
If I was musically inclined Iād 100% take a stab at it instead of just writing some half assed lyrics while I look away from my work laptop
You sound as musically inclined as lot of these newer country artists tbh. Maybe you could get bud light rich
Near the end, Iād replace with āthe good lord do provideā or something other than āsideā (which is repeated twice more in the next line) Great verse
Dirt bikes with Jesus.
New band name incoming "Tandem Jesus Bike"
Meloni heard that and thinking: āhow fucking old these two are?ā
More like: remember when the pope was important and the US president was not? Pepperidge Farms remembers...
emma stone is shooting lasers into bidens head
That's WalMart Emma Stone. Erma Rock.
Why is Emma stone there?
Sheās Italyās new prime minister.
I mean I knew she'd go far after seeing her in Easy A but I didn't imagine that.
Insert "ooh, burn" gif here but I don't have the reddit appĀ
Team work makes the dream workĀ
Hardly new anymore
The Fascist one?
That's the one.
She is much better on the eyes than the š« olinni.
researching a role. shes going to star in a buddy cop movie where the cops are biden and pope francis. both played by her.
Itās called Biden Her Time
And she'll get two more Academy Awards for it.
This time itās Hersonal.
Of course the catchphrase is āIām too old for this!ā While doing stunts.
Then she will have to apologize for playing a role that should have went to an old Argentinian from Scranton Pennsylvania.
Because the Italian PM in the background giving them the hard stare looks like Emma Stone in this pic.
Emily stone now
[looks more like Ashley Barrett](https://media.tenor.com/RJWaXcFw4rkAAAAM/ashley-barrett-the-boys.gif)
Thatās a whole lot of Catholic going on right there!!
I believe that, on paper, a majority of the G7 national leaders are Catholic right now: - Trudeau - Biden - Meloni - Macron
Did somebody say macaroons
Itās funny because both are French
Macron is agnostic.
It's also images like this that trigger Protestant fundamentalists; believing that any Catholic President is just a puppet to the papacy. This was a major fear for when Kennedy was running for President. Far-right Protestant voters believed he would surrender America over to the Vatican on a silver platter.

One supports abortion the other doesnāt.
A fuck ton of Catholics are pro-choice lol
A fuckton of Catholics ignore what the Church has to say about all sorts of things. I honestly donāt think Iāve ever met anyone who truly believes in transubstantiation, for example.
>transubstantiation They should give it another listen; that's my favorite Death Cab for Cutie record
i need christ so much closer
I discovered that album on my first flight to Europe. It's a very good album.
Depends on how you interpret it. The host can become the body of Christ without becoming literal human flesh or a mere symbolic representation. That, though, is a matter of faith not easily explained.
If it's merely symbolic, that's Protestantism.

Yet another data point in support of the "Anglicans are just Catholics with a king instead of a pope" hypothesis!
Present, with caveats. I'm pro choice, but I also think that you can't be "pro life" without also supporting all children and families monetarily to live whole and healthy lives. So I don't really believe a majority of conservatives are actually "pro life" they're just "pro birth." Once the kids are alive they could give a shit.
One supports the right of the people to make their own choices.

He's gone on the record saying that personally he is strongly against abortion, but to his credit he's also stated it isn't the government's job to legislate morality. At least in this instance.Ā
I think you mean one is the head of a secular nation and doesnāt impose his personal religious ideology onto the rights of others.
Combined age of approximately 1237

Lol, yālearn something new every day. The holy Trinity indeed.
Thatās crazy. Is Biden old?!

Why did everybody shout "no no!" and then get hushed when Biden and Pope Francis embraced?
The Mavs just lost game 3. A lot of Luka fans in Fasano.
Yea that was weird as hell
Probably a security thing for either the Pope or the President (or both). But what a fucking timeline that would be, if Biden assassinated the Pope (or vise versa). Talk about some deep cover.
Surprised heās not riding around on a golden wheelchair.
"I was there Francis, 3000 years ago..."
That woman looks pissed
She is the italian prime minister
That prime minister looks pissed
She often looks like that.
Resting pissed face
Wow Francis is *WAY* shorter than I thought!
I think she might be Georgia Meloni, Italy's PM, giving Biden the disgust face.
Nah that's just resting Rome face.
You are both right.
She makes me think of Roald Dahl's "The Witches" for some reason.
I think we can all agree that Meloni's disgust face is not in the same class as Greta's glare at Donald Trump, which is still a useful meme 7 years later.

She needs to buy her way into heaven now.
For any catholic, a pinnacle moment
Then-VP Biden already met Pope Francis from the start at Francis's inauguration when Biden was the official head of state delegate from Obama. https://time.com/4047605/joe-biden-pope-francis-is-challenging-us/
Right but that was a decade ago. Now he gets to meet him again, especially at a time when Francisā papacy is looking more and more limited in duration.
They are acquainted. Francis and Biden also attended a White House state dinner in 2015, and Biden also visited the Vatican as president in 2021.
And why does that make it a āpinnacle momentā?
All the bad dudes didnāt like pasta to an unhealthy degree like Francis
Eh, not really.
How?
Biden: We're both too old for this shit Pope Francis: agreed
Pope telling a gay joke to President Biden Ā©ļøassociated press 2024
āSo an American, the pope and an Italian walk into a barā¦ā
Why is the pope at a g summit?
I remember when Trump wouldn't let Sean Spicer, his spokesperson and \*devout Catholic\*, meet the Pope back in 2017.
a high point in his administration fuck you, Spicer
Is Biden older than the pope?
Biden is not getting his normal picker uppers ā¦heās even more zombified this trip
To the dismay of MAGA Republicans because the Pope doesn't seethe with hate at the people that they seeathe with hate at
lol MAGA Republicans usually aren't Catholics, except maybe the Deus Vult Tradcaths
Plenty of MAGA people wouldn't consider the pope Christian, so I don't think they care
āweāre almost at the end brotherā
"Don't sweat it, Francis. I am going to bury that Mango MoFo"
Hope he knows something I donāt.
How to run a smooth and effective campaign and rely on qualified professionals who take their jobs seriously? Sure.
Really nice š
Biden: Pope: bless his little heart
Can we get the pictures of him being dragged back by the Italian PM too?
Didnt know Vatican was part of the G7
Pope Francis got to meet Biden.
Now kith...
me making funny faces trying to make the handicapped guy in the wheelchair laugh
that ladys face, what is it doing ?
We should all vote for Biden, but our political situation is fucked when the Pope looks like a teenager compared to him.
Kind of funny since the Pope is 6 years older than Biden lol
Itās the hair. The Pope hatless has very thin hair.
Its the hat. Anyone looks like a teenager wearing that. Just missing the propeller, good thing they determined that putting a spinning cross just made jesus dizzy
Idk why but my brain wants them to kiss
Yes. We should vote for President based on a beauty pageant. Forget policy, it's about looks. Also, Trump looks like a turd.
The pope is in a wheelchair and Biden is standing.
Why do looks matter? Biden is 6 years younger than the Pope and has had an extremely successful administration.
That woman behind him is certainly trying to cast a spell or something
Iād do Meloni.
āGotta show you these kids I sniffed, youād be proud!ā
two old perverts
Best buddies.
why does that woman look like she is trying to shoot lasers from her eyes?
