U.S.-born Pope Leo XIV pushed back Monday on Donald Trump’s broadside against him over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, telling reporters that the Vatican’s appeals for peace and reconciliation are rooted in the Gospel, and that he doesn’t fear the Trump administration.
“To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here, I think is not understanding what the message of the Gospel is,” Leo told AP aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria. “And I’m sorry to hear that but I will continue on what I believe is the mission of the church in the world today.”
History’s first U.S.-born pope stressed that he was not making a direct attack against Trump or anyone else with his general appeal for peace and criticisms of the “delusion of omnipotence” that is fueling the Iran wars and other conflicts around the world.
Years ago with Catholics during the first Trump presidency they would side with Republican talking points over church guidance, and that was on the Wall.
It’s going to be a short fight where the Catholic church realizes that in a choice between Fox news and the Church, Fox News is what America Catholics believe in. I bet they could even get a bishop or two to follow.
The American Catholic Church Hierarchy is extremely conservative. We can get a bishop or two to follow the pope, the rest are with the antichrist make no mistake.
We keep talking about evangelical Armageddon…
But the one in Islam is looking even more likely every day.
For them, Muslims and Christians are supposed to unite against the Anti-christ, and then Jesus comes back to lead the armies of God, and converts everyone to Islam.
The way shits going, I could see the Pope and Muslim leaders unifying. But it’s still concerning the goal of most world leaders is to end the fucking world. At least after Islam’s Armageddon we’re supposed to get 40 years of peace a under Jesus as a world leader. It won’t happen, but at least there’s a happy ending there.
Holy shit, I like this one, except for the converting to Islam part.
The fucking evagelicans that support Trump are nuts, would like to see the world burn and have some crazy obsession with giving zionist money to take people’s home. Something about end of times shit, which is why they’re letting the world burn.
I’m curious as to the ratio between Catholic Christians and non-Catholic Christians. While the Catholic church has it’s own bad history some of those non-Catholic Christians are complete whack-jobs!
