#AmericanCatholics, this is your insane President, threatening your Pope.

Deranged anti-Pope Leo screed from the current president of the U.S.

Donald J. Trump 9 0
@realDonald Trump
Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about "fear" of the Trump Administration, but doesn't mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't! I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don't want a Pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don't want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I'm doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn't on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn't in the White House, Leo wouldn't be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo's Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It's hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it's hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

"Equal Application of the Law"

this seems to be a VERY HARD Concept for #Trump #TrumpSupporters #MAGA #Republicans #GOP #Conservatives and MOST #AmericanChristians #AmericanCatholics to understand...like they seem to CHOOSE to be #WillfullyIgnorant ... almost like #Stupidity gives them Power...

In picking Burch as #Ambassador to the #Vatican, the #TrumpAdministration is ensuring that that #CultureWar remains alive among #AmericanCatholics. #Opinion

With new Vatican ambassador, Trump sends culture-war message to American Catholics

(RNS) — The new US ambassador to the Holy See may faithfully represent the White House's conservative agenda, but his appointment's real purpose seems to be to sow more discord at home.

#CatholicFundamentalists consider themselves to uphold purer beliefs and practices than regular #Catholics and see them leading the Church into a decline. However, sectarianism is the opposite of Catholicism. #TraditionalistCatholicism #AmericanCatholics

So the White House basically told the Pope to go fuck himself and that it could bomb and destroy who it wants?

Calling all so called Catholics in
the USA….?

Nothing defines the 'American spirit' quite like an American Pope and an American President fighting for custody of the national conscience. It turns out the only thing they agree on is that the other guy is the problem.

Remember: The Vatican has had to meet and negotiate with Nazis and Mussolini's reps, so they know from unpleasant and confrontational.

…at a hotel bar with a conservative #Catholic intellectual who had been critical of the #Pope, said:
"My growing view is that too many #AmericanCatholics have failed to show proper deference to the #papacy, treating the pope as a #politicalfigure to be criticized or praised according to their whims"
