Pope Leo gives us a suggestion for our Lenten sacrifice. What do you think?

“I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated form of abstinence: that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor. Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgement, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities. In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace.”

I think everyone should give up social media.

Sounds like he’s asking everyone to honor the 9th commandment which wouldn’t be such a bad thing for the world to do.

I swear, I was thinking the first reply was going to be frick you.

He's right, but Catholics are basically cultists, so I'm not sure I should listen to him.

Tell the (D)emocrats that el Padre.
I'm so glad I left the Catholic Church! We can think for ourselves.

What’s a cultist in your opinion?
What’s a “basic” cultist versus an “extravagant” cultist?
Can you distinguish an operational difference between a religion and a cult?

Sounds like a good message

The one thing the Far Left and the Evangelical Right seem to agree on

He's using the word as a pejorative. Not the true definition of the word.

Meh.... I totally understand his idea and intent, but in today's good vs evil world, we must speak out against evil and sometimes that offends.....

That’s a tough one. I’m Catholic, however turning the cheek and kowtowing to the demonic left is old.
At some point we have to defend the faith.

I think that Pope Leo hasn't met my neighbor.
Posted on 2/13/26 at 1:12 pm to GumboPot
I think it's a good message.
But the general message of "don't be a piece of shite" will not be welcomed by the misanthropes here.
