Pope Francis seemingly put his own spin on telling women to ‘smile more,’ urging nuns to abandon “vinegar faces,” and stop speaking with the devil.
The Pope, 88, emphasized the importance of friendliness and love in embodying the virtues of the Catholic Church as he spoke to a group of Dominican sisters visiting the Vatican Sunday, The Times reported.
“Sometimes in my life, I have met nuns with a vinegar face, and that’s not friendly,” the Pope remarked. “That’s not something that helps to attract people. Vinegar is nasty, and nuns with a vinegar face—let’s not even talk about it.”
The Pope also urged the nuns to follow Jesus’ example of speaking to everyone—except the Devil. “No dialogue with the Devil, understood?” he stressed, warning against allowing jealousy and other human frailties to provide entry points for evil.
Among human frailties, the Pope addressed gossip as a substantial hurdle for women.
“Please, distance yourself from gossip,” he urged. “To ask this of a woman is heroic but, come on, let’s move forward and no gossip.” He called on the sisters to instead be “heralds of affability.”
“You’re never allowed to have an orgasm. Also you aren’t allowed to be grumpy.”
Nah dawg you gotta pick one.
Vinegar is nasty
I like salt and vinegar potato chips.
You should’ve changed this to the Pope
FTFY
Salad dressing? Pickled jalapeños? Kim chee?
Pope is way off base.
i like vinegar strokes
This person is the devil himself
Surely the zen of perpetual “resting bitch face” towards men is one of the selling points of being a nun?
Is it just me, or has the Pope suddenly and very recently taken a turn into being a very shitty person?
I get that he’s always had some problematic views, but he’s become more extreme lately. Or at least, that’s what the coverage seems to be.
My wife always thought he was bullshitting. The church was trying a rebrand thing. They retired the pope that was in Hitler youth and got the cool ‘young’ still old pope that is more friendly towards gay people and dogs going to heaven. He never really felt legit to her.
You have to be a shitty person to be a pope. What is this talk about ‘suddenly’?
Yeah now that you mention it, the leader of the worlds largest pedophile club has some strange beliefs
What if they are Autistic or have some other reason they struggle to smile?
Hahahahahahahaha
Sorry not laughing at what you’re actually saying just the idea they would care
Stop your devil worship
I wonder if this is a reference to the parable of The Vinegar Tasters
oh no hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
