This is PR to try and make the new pope attractive to young and leftist people. He’s nothing new or progressive, he’s a pedo enabler who told his priests to reject the law and avoid speaking to police investigating his clergy’s child abuses. He’s garbage, just like the rest of them
That's part for the course for the Catholics. For them their dogma is over the law. You gotta take what you can from these guys.
A pedo enabler who happens to advocate for the poor is still not good, but also not as bad as a fascist-enabler, pro-rich, pedo enabler.
It's funny how if I get in a minor collision or if I get my house inspected everyone's quick to "It's totally gone, have to start over, here's a cheque". If we can all see that an aging corporation is rotten to the core the money just pours in.
Whatever is a "poor choice" for the MAGA movement is a great choice in my book. Even if it's about a religious figure.
He completely ignored sexual assaults.
Sounds like the Catholic Church, alright. But I'm pretty sure the MAGA crowd doesn't give a shit about that.
Judging by all the stupidity from this administration, Trump is going to ask the pope to step down. Or try to fire him. Or ask Russia to assisinate him.
Time to Tariff™️ the Vatican!
If MAGAts don't like him, that gives me a lot of faith in him.
This response just tells me it is the correct pope for the job
Your comment shows how strong the propaganda and PR is that they put out an article like this and suddenly you’re liking a guy who enabled pedophiles and stone walls police investigating child sex abuse. He’s garbage
My dude, just because the Catholic Church won't stop being the Catholic Church doesn't make a progressive pope a bad idea.
A man who protects pedos and opposes Justice isn’t progressive
I knew it-- just KNEW IT-- the moment we learned the new Pope was American, I knew the MAGAt moron brigade would immediately be expecting the guy to be some gob-slobbering jackass racist like them, expecting him to start licking drumpf's toes.
The fact the Pope isn't going to be ordered around by King Damp Pants is going to be a talking point for Faux "news" Entertainment for a while lol
I just want to add. Anyone that ACTUALLY FOLLOWS the teachings of the bible, cannot with good conscious support Donald Trump.
I think you mean actually follows the teachings of jesus. If you actually follow the teachings of the Bible you probably actually would be good with donald. You would be good with slavery. The Bible is a really f***** up thing
I hope the Swiss Guard are on their toes. I guarantee there are crazy fascists only too willing to try their hand at assassination.
I love how they lost their shit about an American speaking Italian, in Italy, to a shit load of Italians.
The American nationalism has truly rotted their brains.
he should speak latin to really make thier minds explode.
It's bad enough half of his speech at the Conclave was in Spanish. You know from that he's insufficiently AMERICAN. And his dual citizenship with Peru & USA makes him doubly suspect.
losing it at the fact that most evangelical Christian assholes are shocked when the Catholic Pope has different views
shouldnt evangelical have thier own "megapastor"
MAGA meltdown? No way. They melt harder than a slice of cheese on a patty
molten fake american cheese.
Woke Marxist Pope? Well shit, I just might start going to church again
Thinking a second about this, he literally pwned MAGA
The entire conservative line of thought is backed by Christianity and American exceptionalism, and now there comes an American pope and tells "You're not following the God's word". That's a damn checkmate.
Wonder how many MAGA supporters, many of which are devout Christians, will start questioning their beliefs.
Also, lol, a Marxist Pope is top comedy.
They won't question their Christian beliefs for a single second because they didn't have any in the first place. They'll turn their backs and say "The Pope went woke," still call themselves godly Christians, and continue to spread hate. During that whole time they will never question whether or not they're Christian, they'll just hate the Pope too.
Maybe the church knows better than to have a concordat with the nazis this time.
Maybe.
The pope doesn't like evil? Huh, imagine that.
When you start calling every leader of the Catholic Church a Marxist, you've seriously lost the plot. The American right is ridiculous.
