Woke Pope? Trump reckons with a ‘liberal’ American leader he can’t trash-talk

 

"Before he was the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics, Pope Leo XIV was a moderate user of Twitter, which he used to deliver and share criticism of Trump’s America First agenda.

In February, he shared an opinion piece from the National Catholic Reporter, titled: “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.”

Vance, a practicing Catholic, now has the dubious honor of being scolded by two Popes, a rare feat that puts him in the company of the serpent from the Garden of Eden and Satan himself."

Good to learn of Pope Leo's views about the Russo-Ukraine war.

Definitely something that Putin's poodle Trump would never say.

 

What will the new pope mean for Ukraine?

...

a recently resurfaced interview from 2022 may shed light on Pope Leo's views on the war. While serving as Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru, Prevost condemned Russia's "imperialist" aggression against Ukraine in an interview with Peruvian news outlet Semanario Expresión.

Prevost described Russia's war as a "a true invasion, imperialist in nature, where Russia seeks to conquer territory for reasons of power."

The strong condemnation marks a departure from the tone of Pope Francis, whose public remarks on the war fell short of denouncing Russia's role as the aggressor.

Bets being placed when "so-called Pope" is used.

The US is a naturally Protestant country; Puritans form a big part of its history. One of the beliefs of Puritans, and certain modern day Protestants is that all Roman Catholics will go to hell and that the Pope is the Antichrist. "Puritan" comes from wanting to clean the church of Catholic practices. Since the 50s, at least, its been the Evangelists, mainly Billy Graham, who has been the spiritual advisor to Presidents. And Evangelists are still influential. So utter nonsense like this.

 

 

There is a reason why only 2 out of 47 Presidents (Kennedy, Biden) were Catholic. Yet, 1 in 4 Americans are Catholic.

 

 

Yet, extraordinarily, a third of the Cabinet are Roman Catholics. You might think, that's fair, they represent the fact that 1 in 4 Americans are Catholic. 5 Supreme Court Judges, all conservative, are catholics.

 

MAGA Catholics is a thing, with prominant members being Catholic converts, like Vance and Bannon.

 

Pope Leo is relatively young; he's going to be around for at least 20 years. In someways, he is a conservative Catholic, but most areas, he is liberal.  Puritans split from the Catholic church. WIll an American Catholicism emerge? When will the 47th President announce his conversion? His wife is one of these Eastern Bloc Communist Catholics. His youngest son is a Catholic and he himself now describes himself as "non-denominational Christian", which of course is a ludicous position

He still thinks Homosexuality is a mortal sin.

 

As predicted: folks who would pee on the Popes grave cheering him on because he might argue with Trump.

Or alternatively, when he starts calling him, "the Peruvian Pope" (given that he is a naturalized Peruvian citizen).

He is from Chicago though. Everyone rolls their eyes about Chicago unless you are from there. Its a really weird place.

Trump doesn't have to say anything about Pope Leo -- he can let Laura Loomer do it.

To describe the new Pope as 'woke' would be ridiculous.

 

He is a cautious conservative with a deep social conscience. Nothing 'woke' there.

God sent the Pope to save America, and the planet, from Trump, the GOP and MAGA.

There's nothing more Ironic than as a MAGA Christian. Talk about putting a spin on the teachings of Jesus. Wow. These folks would have you believing "Love they neighbor as thyself" doesn't apply if your neighbor is Mexican.

Poor Donald needs more roughage in his diet. Days like those when a guy is irregular makes the business of trying to be King of America difficult.

He should try Colon Blow! It's the laxative that keeps on giving!

Tell us how TRump is an "authoritarian type". Tell us how he has not honoured his oath. Tell us what he has done to "humiliate" the USA (its not your country because you despise it).

 

Hows that stock market crash. Hows that recession coming? How is the border? Price of gas $2.70 in Red states. How about your basket case, California?
