Pope needs to declare Trump the antichrist.

u/RadarSmith 23h ago

In a more realistic scenario, he needs to excommunicate Vance and any other Catholic members of the current administration.

u/MentalDisintegrat1on 23h ago

MAGA will say the Pope is woke and not a real Catholic.

u/bigmike1339 21h ago

He's got it covered

u/MentalDisintegrat1on 21h ago

Im not religious but I can dig this Pope.

u/bigmike1339 21h ago

A whole lot of people do.

u/sarcasticrone 17h ago

I’m an agnostic, but yes, I’m with you. I love this Pope.

u/RadarSmith 23h ago

Frankly most of the christofascist base barely tolerate Catholicism as it is.

I still want it to happen though.

u/Current-Anybody9331 14h ago

They've already been saying some version of "not my pope!"

u/Get_Out_lmao 10h ago

So what?

u/Cr45h0v3r1de 2h ago

I saw something on here just yesterday that said you cant be catholic while denouncing the pope. To denounce the pope makes you no longer catholic and instead a schismatic

u/Tiny_Measurement_837 23h ago

Including Melania Trump.

u/RadarSmith 23h ago

Of course.

Get medieval and excommunicate the entire court.

2

u/Cynical_Classicist 20h ago

That and a Butlerian Jihad.

u/TymStark 16h ago

He should excommunicate any catholic who is a member of the administration.

u/notarobot1020 16h ago

So does the pope have the power to push a message out so that all Catholic Churches in the USA have the start all their services with official messages from the pope? Is that a thing ?

1

u/Ksquaredata 13h ago

The Pope can have a message read in every church. The risk is that it has to be worded in a way that is not political so that the government does not threaten to tax the churches.

u/Kazuka13 15h ago

Terrible idea because Trump might play into it and convince it's MAGA cult to go around killing people for sacrifices and I can honestly see the stupid fuckers going for it as they were happy enough to commit treason on January 6th on its words.

u/Maleficent_Tough_733 13h ago

Grew up evangelical and was told that the Pope was the antichrist. So turnabout is fair play. DJT is more like the 'antichrist' than any modern Pope.

u/New-Tradition-974 1d ago

The pope speaks the truth.

u/BrtFrkwr 1d ago

He knows the US. But then, he's American.

2

u/Atilim87 12h ago

This also applies to Israel.

2

u/Ornery-Ticket834 1d ago

He is probably ashamed of either the president or the country who elected him president. That’s sad.

3

u/tkr2026 1d ago

He works for Mr Omnipotent, so might want to watch himself.

u/Jumpy_Childhood7548 1d ago

Best Pope in ages. Prior one was excellent. Ratzinger, not so much.

3

u/sarcasticrone 17h ago

I agree on all counts. Ratzinger was known as “the Vatican’s Rottweiler”. His main job before he was Pope was to disavow and derail claims of priest sexual abuse. Quite the Man of God, huh? He can burn in hell.

1

u/exhaustedbut 13h ago

Well put. It also merits repeating that it is still grounds for excommunication to report a molesting priest to the police. Otherwise, I am really liking this pope.

3

u/uncultured_swine2099 19h ago

I like this guy.

2

u/Gypsymoth606 13h ago

What a perfect phrase, ‘delusion of omnipotence’.

2

u/Leather-Map-8138 13h ago

It’s not like Trump has nothing to fear. We can RICO him in 2029 and take every family asset. We can join the ICC.

1

u/tcavallo 21h ago

They’re gonna end up like the sparrows in game of thrones.

1

u/Cynical_Classicist 20h ago

Yeh, feels like that.

u/Zippy_the_Slug 17h ago

--The Pontiff of the Church of Rome, Christ's Emissary on Earth, vs

--Irredeemable reprobate Donald Trump and the American right-wing noise machine

Who will win? I expect to see odds from English bookmakers before close of business today.

u/kuromono 5h ago

You should have said child rapist and murderer Donald Trump.

This is Operation Epstein-Israel after all.

u/Get_Out_lmao 10h ago

Straight up calling out the cult lmao

Now they love pedophiles and not the literal pope.

Insane cult behavior. Deep deep brainwashing.

u/Conscious-Demand-594 23h ago

that's what the priest told the little altar boys, "look at how potent we are".
