“Please, brothers and sisters, let’s make an effort not to gossip. Gossiping is a worse plague than COVID,” the pope said during his weekly address from a window above St. Peter’s Square.
“The devil is the great gossip. He is always saying bad things about others because he is the liar who tries to split the Church,” Francis added in the off-the-cuff comments.“If something goes wrong, offer silence and prayer for the brother or sister who make a mistake, but never gossip,” he said on Sunday.
couldn't disagree more. it inspired the most dramatic soap opera-cum-teen series of the 2000s, whose most effective character is actually Lily Rhodes van der Woodsen Bass Humphrey, not Serena. so can his Holiness kindly sit down? thank you.

Why are you reporting his moment of idiocy?
Really cause I heard you run a bunch of predators
He should have thought about that before gossiping about leftists priests with the Argentinian junta
karoumy I hear the pope hides a tattoo of Tom Hanks somewhere under his cassock.
We are doomed ljgillin
Pope's a wise man 😂🔥
Nope, can’t agree with this.
“Devil’s Workshop, how may I direct your call?” “Can you connect me with the Child Sex Abuse department?” “Sorry, due to downsizing measures that department has merged with the Gossip department. Would you like me to connect you?”
Hey Pope, where'd you get all these Rolexes? Pope: You ask a lot of questions don't you
Going out on a limb and say the rape of children for centuries by pedo predatory priests that was covered up by the church is WORST than gossip. Says me, the former Catholic altar girl, Catholic school attending, every Sunday going to mass woman, who left years ago.
Oh not priests raping children? ... ummkay
I wasn't raised Catholic but after watching The Young Pope and The New Pope I totally get this!
And now we get to gossip about this asinine statement.
It does poison your mind and spread like a virus... Recovering from the coronavirus doesn't even compare to recovering from damaged reputation. That shit stays with you for life
Because gossiping kills thousands every year? What?
Then the pope is an idiot.
melissacv 👋
Ya don’t say...
Probably there is some gossip going around about some priests abusing children again.
Is that a confession ?
Pope is not the way to Heaven! Not even the Bible which had been re-written hundereds of times and became strange for “Christ” himself!
Fucking moron 🤦🏻♂️
Gossip like virus has been around as long as we existed!
Gossip is great.
What's worse than the plague is defending child molesting priests. Maybe do something about that rather than just preaching on others' shortcomings?
He’d be wrong.
Opus Die & Bannon hard at work?
What is this drivel?
Gossip leads to a worsening of Covid mitigation so ... I take his point
I think Twitter is worst than gossiping. Look realDonaldTrump doing to the world!!!!!
Has someone been saying nasty things about him wearing dresses?
elanisangunes 👹🔥
gossipmongers1 you'll kill us all!
É verdade
Ok I think we’ve heard enough out of him for the next several years
TinaMarie_80s Oh, Mr. Pope.
Ninth Commandment Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.✝️🙏
he should just call rupert out and shame his buisinesses.
Do you mean gossiping about all the kiddie fiddlers who have been moved and hidden by the church, or all the ones who have been caught and convicted
spilling the tea is 9/11 plus the holocaust
.When you're hooked up to a ventilator and in an induced coma, you can't gossip even if your life depended on it. COVID-19 gossip in all sorts of ghastly ways, Pontifex -- and you're one of Twitter's kings of bad takes. // Ping BadCOVID19Takes!
Those god damn gossips talking about all the child raping that the priests do!
I heard the Catholic Church protects child rapists.
i lol'd
This is why I'm not a practicing catholic.
jrhennessy this is what happens when you leave the holy father out of the groupchat
... especially if it involves the lascivious behaviours of Catholic priests.
slackbastard
Dear pope
I wonder how anyone could come to such a wild conclusion. 🤔😬
No. It is not. Transparency is what the Vatican needs more of
I love this man. He's a different & warm hearted person.
Missed the headlines that 'gossip' has killed over 880k worldwide in 2020 🤷♂️. Shows the priorities of the head sky fairy believer and the RC organisation
yeah, well, you know the pope? Yeah, well I heard he said this stuff about god and some people were like you crazy man
Given that it's existed for far longer than the coronavirus and is known to have done much damage in people's lives -ever started wars, HE COULD BE ON TO SOMETHING!
Fuck gossip. Child sexual abuse? That’s fine. BUT FUCK GOSSIP
Bit of a stretch there mate.
Has he had Coronavirus?
Maybe if you're a middle school girl. If you're a priest and you hear one of your colleagues is sexually abusing multiple children, 'gossipping' aka reporting it to the authorities is a moral necessity.
Actually, pedophelia is worse, but he’s not going to say that.
Tama po. Pki sv s mga mk yelo🤣🤣🤣
He is right. And Facebook is the biggest culprit. Gossip mongering machine.
Okay, but you literally just told me what the Pope said behind his back, soooo
Ig that’s why they didn’t tell anyone about the sexual assault
Well, I heard the Pope wears a Pink Victoria’s Secret 42-B lace bra under his robes.
Has the pope been watching Inception?
He’s right.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👿
Whaddaya know Joe?
buffalocialism Then keep her name out of your mouth
buffalocialism What?
he’s right
Lies about Trump is gossip!
If only my upcoming echocardiogram, holter monitor, and brain MRI were for talking shit on someone
read the room
Psst...I heard through the grapevine that the Catholic Church faced 4,434 sexual abuse cases in 2018-19 alone...pass it on.
and religion the worst plague of all
Wow. What a stupid mortal.
This will be our little secret, Timmy.
He obviously misread my d'var Torah... gossipping and other forms of improper speech resulted in the coronavirus.
Gossip! phillipseymourhoffman
Well I hear he wears nothing under his robe.
LMAOOOO
Amen.
DylanGelula anatcr99 sacate el tea

That’s dumb
Sometimes he has a very interesting and possibly wise perspective on things. This is definitely not one of them. And for the record there is nothing worse than believing in an invisible man in the sky. Ex maybe all the morons who think they have a direct hotline to said man.
jesusmolinac
Amen.

how to excommunicate all the haters in reuters thread
Gossip is dangerous.
You heard the man 'snitches get stitches '
Rude
I heard thru the grapevine the pope is helping cover up a ton of weird and gross crimes n shit
He is refering to the gossip protocol Hashgraph As it will bring all the truths to the surface and for “them” there is nothing worse than people knowing the real truth...
JZStudios12 And he is right.
Yentas are done for
Father Hot Take McGee
Who asked you?
Ha how obvious cover up 🤫
lol isnt he supposed to be the good pope?
President of the child abuse coverup fanclub denounces whistleblowing. Shocker.
Jesus told me he thinks the pope is wrong on this one.
True
da pope musta heard about MY WIFE and her FRIENDS!!!!
I’ll have to disagree with you on that one, Mr. Pope.
Lashon Hara, a/k/a The Evil Tongue (gossiping) is as old as time.
Says the man who rides a unicycle beneath his frock. At least that's what the butcher told me, and he once bumped in to Elton John in the Pick 'n' Mix aisle in Woolworths, so he's kind of a big deal round here and can be trusted not to lie.
But like...this is half of a catholic’s identity 😐
I think he meant false gossiping - lying. Do unto others...Just following Bible and Jesus teachings...Do this in remembrance of me. Don't have to be Christian..Other religions have the same type. Radicalization is what twist these into false beliefs.
Francis has warned of a gay lobby within the church and has likened adoption by same-sex couples to child abuse. I think his 'opinion' on social discourse isn't worth Jack. It's only 7 years ago he raised the age of consent from 12! WTF does he know about the real world?
Russias campaign on misinformation on Covid and undermining our free elections are worse
“don’t tell anyone about this” - the pope
🚨🚨🚨⚠️⚠️⚠️ Rosinaro2
-- XOXO, Gossip Pope
Say what?
Would probably start with the touching kids stuff & work up from there Chief. 🤦♂️
Bet the Vatican whatsapp is lit.
STFU PANCHITO!
so maybe he should stop gossiping about coronavirus
No it isnt!
I thought, molesting kids is the worst.
Churches not paying taxes is the worst plague of all
So basically, don’t ask & don’t tell? Seems pretty self serving.
finally someone’s talking about the real issues
Well said...
Me:
he found out someone said his head looked like an acorn again
Say the king of the pedo’s !!
You're telling me the leader of the Catholic Church has issues with people discussing someone's misconduct that they wanted to keep a secret? Well, color me shocked.
Why have people lost trust with religion?
“I swear things would be great in Catholicism if all these gossipy junior high bitches would just shut up about all the abuse of children and dodging lawsuits by doing bad faith real estate transfers am I right fellas” - Pope
If you're in a gc with the pope PLEASE post screenshots
Isn't this trail of discussion gossip alright?🤔
can't say i agree with this one, personally
i think i gotta disagree with the pope on this one
But that’s News Corps whole reporting system...
'don't talk shit' - the pope
I only listen to one pope
Skurrr, didja heard?
Just got admitted to the ICU for telling my co-worker that our boss was having sex with the front desk receptionist.
papa francesco don't mess w messy drama
Do he know catholic women?
Keepus mea nomen outus yourus mouthus - The pope
2020 woes: Gossiping and throwing cans of soup! CatholicChurch knocking it out of the park as usual.
no it’s not
So am I to understand we’re not supposed to be talking shit about people that aren’t following the distancing and gathering rules?
aí complicou pra ti _cristinacamila
FOX's platform IS gossip.
CatholicFitz
Then he should be the first one tested for spreading gossip about banning contraception that can cause STDs, AIDS, & unwanted pregnancies.
Lol what
he learned this from his school friends
“Gossip” is a word usually used on women. I got called one for saying the book Not a Fan went against the Ten Commandments. Say what you want, ladies.
I guess a broken clock is right twice a day
I can’t beleive I agree with a religious figure.
Thankfully all Catholics will soon catch coronavirus from shaking hands and taking communion
Fascinating that we still listen to this guy!
Based.
ie. 'bishop accountability dot org is worse than the rona'
Climate change, child molesters in the church and the climate crisis - all way more important that gossip old man
DylanGelula I heard that guy’s friends touch kids
What
Okie dokie, Frankie, we'll be removing the holy water hand sanitizer and the Shroud of Turin masks from your quarters ASAP. P.S. Sister Mary Margaret told me that that Cardinal Richelieu is a very naughty boy, pass it on.
Agreed
he’s serving ancient city style 🛕
Still tryna hide them pedos? Gossip can make that difficult, i imagine.
Infallible information control enabled priests to have sex with millions of little boys.
NickatFP Shopping for blocks ?
I am not a high priest. But Jesus is. Halilujah truth truth.
well the world says: no need for the hierarchy of the church, they are not needed middlemen. u may speak to God from anywhere and no need for hierarchy of church, no need for pope, no need for priests, nuns, no need for church. vatican has more stolen loot, gold, silver, art..
He lives in his own little bubble.
That picture.........Is he looking at a kid ?
Ahhh. NO!
Well...no, actually no it isn't. Quite interesting though that this particular church should pop up trying to mitigate the seriousness of what is happening in the press. The UK Monarchy has for a long time been the Defender Of The Faith ' auspol ukpol uspol coronavirus
Ummmm... I’d say the child molestation and abuse running rampant in the Catholic church is the worst plague. Pope is gonna spend eternity with his ass on fire.
Tru dat. Social media misinformation sharing is tearing our world apart. Lies are truth, and true is fake news. This Pope is on the ball.
Someone should tell him Catholic priests raping boys is worse than both.
'specially when it's 'gossip' about pedophile priests, amiright?
Yup agree
With that statement he just turned off every woman alive and most of the men.
The right punishment is: Pontifex
Yeah, I know, us 'gossips' that expose the Cultural Marxist basis of almost everything the man says are 'horrible gossips' yeah, that's the ticket.
what did the gossips do to him
Pope is right
Who told him that?
That's what he is doing
Coronavirus can kill, gossip can send you to hell
Wear a mask and shut your mouth. Solutions are easy.
Gossiping has been around a long time and it doesn’t kill.
Amen
Slow your roll padre
This is one where I am in agreement.
I think pope forgot to say sodomising small babies by priests in the name of baptised by the law of church is a worse sin conducted and it's done even today.
Hillsboro Kansas is in deep
What a stupid thing to say.
Pedophilia, child sex trafficking and child sacrifice is MUCH MUCH WORSE!!!
Is that his head or a large acorn?
So is child sexual abuse.
Slander is a crime, and very close to gossip, but to state reality is that this is the Plague. There were two before this one. This is the Third.
What about adolescents being sodomized. Where is that on his list. 🤔
AMEN
This Pope is a Enemy to the Church. He wants to rewrite the Bible.
Lol 99% media and magazine run on gossips
notmypope he’s ‘owned’ by Soros
Yes, but gossiping is fun at times. Mildly therapeutic.
I don't know anyone who has diedfrom gossiping but ok
Catholic child molesting is worse, Mister pope.
But it’s way more fun!
He's right you know
Hypocrites, attention seekers, control freaks, manipulators, backstabbers... and the list goes on.
'...but you didn't hear that from me!'
Pontifex pell is the virus.
Well, do you want to know what I heard about the guy?
aldrinalphonso What he’s saying is actually very nice. Why you need to make something nefarious out of it, no idea, but maybe take his advice?! Try it.
🤣🤣🤣 The Pope y’all!
Lawrenceville_M True: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” — Ephesians 4:29
And now you have the plague.
🤔.....is it more worse than paedophilia ....🧐
How much longer is this nut's term?
Gossiping is wrong but I have trouble believing it is worse than a plague.
what about other sins, what beats cancer
There is something about Pope Francis that I just don’t trust. He has an “antichrist” look.... he doesn’t seem pure or pious.
Read the book THE GREAT CONTROVERSY BY E.G WHITE. Whitten in 1888
Gossip = Anonymous
Strut it out walk a mile serve it ancient city style
Gossiping is a normal human habit. A pope supporting the Islamification of Europe is worse than Covid 19. Antichrist
What a hypocrite, Clean up your damn church
Reechoed!!
Gossiping helped spread the gospels. 🤭
Gossip about him covering for pedophiles and making backroom deals with China is bad
So Is Diddling Little Boys, But I Don’t See You Speaking Out About That.
There he goes attacking CNN !
The SUNDAY LAW is being prepared by The CATHOLICCHURCH based ON THE claim that if the World take one day of the week for The Rest ,including industries .. we can slowdown the CLIMATE CHANGE and the day is coming of the persecution of everyone who'll be opposed to it !
is it worse than overseeing the worlds largest child sex trafficking ring or nah?
Pope who calls traditionalists sick says you shouldn’t say bad things about others. He’s right of course, it would just be nice if he tried to live by his own advice.
Pope is senile.
That's what he heard from a friend's sister.
One day CoVid will be in our past. Gossip has always been around and will always be around. I challenge all of us to go 1 week without spreading gossip.
THANKS HOLY FATHER FOR SPEAKING TRUTH AS ALMOST ALL RELIGIONS CREATED GOSSIPS OF MIRACLES WHICH ARE NOW NOT HELPING MANKIND TO FINISH EPIDRMIC PLEASE.WITH MOST RESPECTFUL GREETINGS PLEASE
That means it is very, very bad.
When I see gossip kill large numbers of nursing home residents, we will talk, Jesuit.
So... No media reports from 'anonymous sources'?
Bleaching CCPVirus ?
True but it’s being used for contact tracing here in our country.
Or the 'worse plague' of Catholic church gossip leading to reporting to the authorities about your actual coronavirus spreading pedophile priests? Those roaming Catholic priests call me 'worse plague' ever Ishmael. -
🤔 snitches get stitches? Nice. 🤦🏻♂️
Cute
Organised religion is the fucking pits.

It's definitely a problem.
KI think the pedophile factories called churches are the real virus
See what the inside looks like!!! Yes Folks!!! This is real!!
the irony
Also gaslighting but I'm playing nice here *smh*
Haha he has some secrets he doesn't want people talking about
He’s not wrong....
Let’s not forget cheekyness, those toddlers are the devils spawn.
The pope is out of touch with reality.
Hahahahaha Catholics strike again!
Very wise words from pope!!
Yea he just doesn’t want us to talk about him and his Lucifer ways!!!!
So when are you gonna keep your mouth shut😄😜😝🌎
نهانا نبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم قبل ذلك👇👍 قال رسول الله ﷺ لايدخل الجنة نمام . متفقٌ عليه — نمام يعني: ينقل الكلام بقصد الإفساد بين الناس
' An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.'
He is talking about false info
Gossiping is fun as shit, no wonder it’s a sin.
Like he does...?
Huh.
I guess someone must have had some REALLY good gossip about him!
Pope is always right 😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌 cheers 😅😅
So gossiping is now a synonym for discuss your concerns.
Can say the same thing about the biggest criminal organisation in the world. The Roman Catholic Chruch.
