Why pick the first American Pope now? Robert Prevost was made Pope Leo XIV as a counterweight to President Trump.
There’s been little ambiguity about the new pope’s politics and less about the overall agenda.
Pope Francis had all but rigged the process to assure another radical successor.
President Trump’s return represents an ongoing institutional crisis. The ideological battleground is going to be the border and Prevost has been chosen to lead the response in the largest sense possible.
Choosing an American Pope is supposed to raise the stakes and elevate a leader with the stature to rally opposition to Trump and more specifically to his immigration policies by invoking the familiar tropes about the need for welcoming in every single migrant.
That’s what this is about.
This is less about the long-term future and more about the next four years.
The Pope is the figure head leader of my Catholic Church but it’s the local pastors who guide the people..
All politics is local so goes our parishes. That’s the strength of the Catholic Church not the Vatican.
Joel Osteen is the pope you Catholics need if you hope to ever come close to being true Americans.
Prosperity theology is a contradiction in terms but it’s better than Liberation theology.
Americans were right in 1960 to fear a Catholic in the White House.
You are degenerating quickly into full blown bitter insanity. The sad truth is you will never get what you want. Sucks to be you.
But hey, a new pope the perfect opportunity to bash Christians on a level you never could have achieved. That is the kind of small minded, petty little man you are.
Joel Osteen? Spawn of Satan? Right. You keep being you, though.
Religion is more dangerous than Marxism for America because Marxism is simply religion masquerading as secular science.
The socialists are preparing the ground for a return to theocracy.
Blah Blah Blah. “The socialists are preparing the ground for a return to theocracy.”
In what universe has this ever happened you dimwit pod person?
You are sounding more and more desperate. I’m certainly enjoying watching you squirm.
It’s all about the money. Refugees and mass migration (and hence war) are a cash cow for the Catholic Church.
Absolutely. The Church makes billions from bringing in illegals. Many religious voters voted for Trump. They think this will change things.
the NGOs using Catholic in their names are no more Catholics than the Muslim Brotherhood is Catholic
Catholicism has always been about the money. Wasn’t it the Catholic Church that had pay for forgiveness.( indulgencies). As a Jew I’ve never been I pressed with the religion. It has had too much in common with Muslims. Inquisition, stealing artifacts, and a pedo problem is just the beginning. Those Templars were great guys too. I lived in a Catholic town and remember my neighborhood talking about the nuns and being hit with rulers or paddles if they didn’t obey.
I left the catholic church 45+ years ago.. I saw it as a left wing banking system nothing more. Then they went full homosexual… no thanks.
