    Insults from Trump and whoever writes his scripts are always projection.

    The Democracts pedophile ring (but Epstein…), Hillary was using an unsecured email server (but the classified documents at Mar a Lago…), the attempt to shoot him because of Dems inciting violence (but Jan 6…), Kamala would get the US in WW3 (but Iran…).

    In that sense, his choice of words this time is interesting: “weak and terrible”.

    You would think Catholics would be absolutely outraged by this but the pope, who before was totally taboo to ever criticize, has been getting lots of criticism from Catholics for a long time now, ever since pope Francis was elected and but especially now with pope Leo. Ironically the absolutely fiercest critics of the pope are the so called “tradcaths” or ultra conservative catholic zoomers. If you look at their social media bubble it’s shit thrown at whatever the pope is saying every single week.

    I don’t think US conservative Catholics care at all what Trump is saying about the pope. They hate the pope themselves. Maybe they will even cheer on.

    Never thought I’d see the day when blindly pro-Christ America threatens the Holy See with the murder of the pope and the creation of a heretical antipope. Was definitely not on my “Crazies of 2026” bingo card.

      You know the KKK went after Catholics almost as hard as Black people…

      Right?

      That the whole “a Catholic president will just listen to the pope” was just an excuse to not elect a Catholic?

      That Joe Biden’s memories of the good old days when Republicans wouldn’t stop telling him he was “one of the good ones” they were talking about him being Catholic yet siding with evangelicals?

      Like, this ain’t new, it’s so old this is how they were brought up, and it goes both ways.

      My Catholic grandmother didn’t talk to my mom, ever, because my mom was a different flavor of Christian than Catholic. MAGA boomers grew up during that schism, they 100% never saw themselves on the same side. They think of Catholicism like younger generations think of Mormonism.

      What’s going to fuck trump up with Abrahmic religions of all flavors, is the AI pic of him as Jesus.

      Was definitely not on my “Crazies of 2026” bingo card.

      You’re gonna be really shocked when Muslim leaders start talking about how Jesus is coming back to save everyone then…

    He called the Pope “weak on crime,” lmao.

    And lo, when the penitent thief called to Jesus, he said, “Remember me, when you come into your kingdom.” And Jesus heard the thief repent and replied to him, “Naw, that’s some beta cuck shit. No parole, motherfucker.”

      The Vatican does have the highest crime rate per capita in the world.*

      * Because there are a few hundred inhabitants but millions of tourists each year
