Chomos b like 'dont gossip now'

Hate it when gossip wipes out entire nursing homes.

People can't help it pope Pontifex its genetics sometimes,😁 or highlife of there plaguing lives 😏

strut it out walk a mile

Pope Francis is a trained Chemist. He should know better

Human bats walking in darkness are better off than the gossip plague🙈

Let's do a study on that: Roll out testing kits for gossipers & we see how high those numbers go. 😅

Well we are concerned about the well beings of children in case they end up in pedophilia rings & other illegal activities! I ditched my red shoes😐

“Dying of a plague is one thing but try not to molest children.“ - The Pope

Coming from a cult that says AIDS is bad but contraception is even worse ...

He is right...

'Thou snitches getteth stitches,' says pontiff

Lady Gaga writing Babylon

gossip is ‘what happens’ in heaven.

Dear Pope Francis, I think you’re wonderful. BUT the proof of who and what you are is what you DO, not what you say. Please, put your thoughts into action.

He means gossip like, 'the priest molested me.' That sort of rumor...y' know? Keep it to yourself people.

And Twitter is nothing but a vicious global gossip platform.

How does he feel about his fellow child molesters?

Pedophilia is worse

Obviously mf didn’t get covid yet

The pope can tell that to the many families who have lost loved ones to COVID-19, since it's too late to tell that to those have died from it. Since we're ranking 'plagues' all of a sudden, where does the plague of sexual abuse by church members fall in the rankings?

beats_tweet

Lets talk about those red shoes.

So it’s not bad? Thats what I get out of it. Don’t gossip about the kiddiefvckers in the Vatican.

babble on battle for your life

Makes you wonder what’s trying to be hidden? What “information” could be as dangerous as a virus that has deadly potential?

Agree

ladygaga impact

The Bible is just a big book of gossip.

That's gossip

I would disagree.

Has he condemned ped0philia?

Somebody I know in the Vatican told me he’d had a grappa too many.

Totally agree with the Pope. I've been saying it for years.

No, child abuse is worse than covid19

Stream Babylon by Lady Gaga

Bit like religion.

Child abuse is an even worse plague, perhaps he might want to address that within the church while he is pontificating.

That’s gossip

Too soon, Pontifex .

😆😆😂

Not as bad as pedophilia! Has he forgotten that, or hoping to brush it further away?

Maybe if he battled for his life

he’s right

i disagree

And this is one of the “good” popes lmao

Babble on

Gossip is a plague says the institution that invented ‘confession’. How about you stop pedophilia instead of hiding and committing it, Vatican blasphemers!?

Hmm...checks notes ...that's why I am an atheist

Gaga’s impact

I misread the headline as “gospel”.

Babylon

Oh listen to her in that gold dress living it up in the Vatican surrounded by 500 mens and the finest antiques in the world. If gossip is worse they better lock that place down

What about locusts?

That's typical. The pope is a 'peronist' person, they love gossip. They also love to say the opposite of their true intentions.

I said that to Mrs Smith only the other day....

All the people who died or lost someone to Covid might disagree

GreyLava Tabloid press is worse than covid.

Flipo! El chismorreo es peor plaga que el COVID19!!! En qué mundo vive? Ah ... claro ... el Vaticano... Gossip is a worse plague than Covid19 according to the Pope. Yeah, right.

Is that before or after a priest raped an alter boy?

Worse than fake news like the Guardian? The rest of MSM? Pedophiles?

As abominable as eating the flesh of your brother..where did i hear that before

Pope Francis can you look into this ? Are you aware of this ? Thank you

What could they possibly be gossiping about?

🥴

Just another way to cover up what some of his priests have done or will do. He should be encouraging people to talk more.

Would that make gossiping about someone with COVID a mortal sin?

🥴

Wow, those popes are always on the cutting edge of complex issues of our modern era. We've got pandemics, rise of fascism, global warming. But no, what we really need to worry about is gossiping.

No what is the real plague is centuries of religious pantomime

🤔

Pope says covid can be cured by raping young boys.

He is absolutely right....

Interesting, but I heard the pope has crabs...🦀 WORST POPE EVER!

I think the plague of organised religion is worse than Covid but yknow, each to their own

Popes blasphemy is well documented.

In America.If gossip killed over the 6% (CDC documents) he would be correct

I always think the confessional is creepy like gossip

Covit has killed hundreds of thousands, nearly destroyed the world economy and thrown millions into poverty so maybe a better comparison could be found .

So basically, being human is now a plague

Well, Pope, u re right.

The pope might be onto something here

What about child molesters?

Pope Francis talking shit yet again.

He said that the devil is 'il grande chiacchierone'. What a bad guy this devil.

What a fraud.

That guy says a lot of things -

The worst plague is the sexually deviant monsters in their ministry. The abuse has caused significant harm and knock on effects for generations. Bring Catholicism to Its knees.

Where is this coming from? Vatican city and it's representatives have been skating on thin ice for centuries. They can't address their own problems much less the world's.

How can anybody support this when they have done the highest crimes

I don't think I care what that guy says.

That's just hearsay.

A bit like the papacy.

Nah, gossip's fun as all git-out. COVID, not so much. 🤷‍♀️

Pedophiles are the worst. Pedophile priests are the worst of the worstest.

That's a self-gratifying escapement with no expense

Sounds like a coded way of saying 'don't mention the kid touching'.

Gossip is what they do behind the closed doors to come to this pronouncement it’s just that they call it a meeting. People talk. Thank God.

Courageous coronavirus scientist who has defected to the US reveals how she fled her home and family to tell the world the truth about China’s cover-up before she became another of the disappeared

'Keep your mouth shut' is not a great message from the leader of Catholics.

yeah, especially the gossips about priests molesting children and the Pope change his speech to appease a genocidal regime that is cracking down on HongKongers, Christians, Uyghur muslims and the Mongolians.

I'm gonna start wearing my PPE kit when I walk around cuz all that happens is gossip

Who said what?

Must have got wind of something that was said about him..🤣🤣🤣

Don't air your grievances? That's bad news for Les Falles ('the faults') in Valencia and Catalunya, when people not only air their grievances, but craft them into building-sized dioramas and, after a week of drinking, dancing, and music, burn them all.

Tell what’s worse than gossip , priests having sex with young boys and the Church covering it up.

heelgueta

What about child molesters? What’s he got on that?

I've heard he has a weird cheese fetish

Religion is a plague worse than covid

What About Religion?

Totally irresponsible thing to say. And we're wondering why folk don't think this is real...

If gossip is a sin then twitter is the sin city. If gossip is also a plague then twitter is a plague ridden sin city

Pope Francis recent efforts in regards to the beatification of the Timex Social Club now make complete sense

he is in charge of the greatest entity created by gossip

I think priests sexually abusing young boys and being supported by the church is a worse plague than covid and has lasted longer.

Well that's just stupid

Jesus christ... aren't we fucked enough without comments like this?

Yah, let’s not talk about the pedaphile priest not prosecuted

Dear Pope Francis, I've told you a million times not to exaggerate! Hyperbole

Wonderful Catholic Theory, Gossip is a sin. It's a pity that not all practice what they preach. Now, why would the Guardian suddenly care what Catholics think? The Guardian are the C of E's round robin. Are we preparing for further scandal?

Got that right, smear and slander is always a coward,s weapon of choice.

You would think that people that keep talking are at risk for covid, especially if there’s a higher power that doesn’t like what they say.

Well of course you wouldnt air concerns in public. Why would the Pope want the world to know Father Benedikt likes little boys?

It is not gossip. It is fraud.

What did he do now?

I think he means 'disinformation'

God must be so annoyed at the sound of gossip. Wonder what voice He likes to hear?

I heard someone say something similar by the water cooler recently.

Whilst I appreciate his sentiment, I've not seen anyone on a respirator due to gossip.
