Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.

    you were just consciously omitting text that reshape the meaning of your quote. Because, when taken in larger context, the meaning of quotes changes.

    Preachers have been doing exactly that since before the Bible was codified by the council of Nicaea. And continue to do so in increasingly more outrageous ways.

      Yeah. That sucks.

      I’m of the belief that the Bible isn’t some living, hold text. It’s just a history book of the philosophy of Christianity, where the Old Testament is used as foundational context for the espoused philosophy in the New Testament. Pretending every word is divinely-inspired and every verse has to be Truth is weird and completely incorrect.
