Whaaaaat? This isn't what Jesus would have wanted!
Greed 4:19 "You get your own fish and loaves. I paid for this. I can throw it on the floor if I want. Suck it up libtards!"
That's my favorite Bible story.
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.
Yeah, exactly this. It can be confusing because they call themselves Christians, loudly and frequently - but their attitudes and beliefs have sweet fuck all to do with the teachings of Christ.
It's kinda like the way they use 'Marxist' for anyone left of Mussolini. I'm not sure if it's a deliberate attempt to shift definitions, or if they don't understand what the words actually mean. Wankers.
Much of the American Christian establishment is the type of Protestant that does not consider Catholics to be Christian.
I know that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but that's how Americans "do religion".
Baptists don't care what the Pope has to say, seventh-day Adventists think he is actually the Antichrist. Most American Catholics don't really care what the Vatican has to say and would resent the implication that they're supposed to give a shit about the Pope's opinion.
Americans just don't do religion very well.
I didn't care about who the new pope was but he's getting more sympathetic by the minute.
There is no such thing as marxist pope.
Are you calling Lara Loomer a liar?
Leo XIII called marxism a "deadly plague". I guess Leo XIV chose his name because he's ok with his predecessor.
I’m ever so closer to crossing Trump suggesting the US goes to war with the Vatican City off my 2025 bingo card…
I wonder how switzerland would react.
I'm adding that to mine now don't tell anyone
I'm an atheist and I have no use for any religion, but if this new Pope pisses off MAGA, I could become a fan.
You know things are bad if the Catholic church is a last bastion for progressive social change
A Canticle For Leibowitz is not an instruction manual.
Didn't they kind of trend this way a bit after Vatican II?
Of course Laura Loonie is against anything that is good in the world.
MAGA would melt down no matter who they picked because everything maga is doing right now is the opposite of what Jesus would do, and whoever is the pope is going to criticize maga for being terrible humans.
Pope 1: MAGA Bad!
Pope 2: MAGA Bad!
Highly Religious MAGA: Pope Bad!
Gotta love it.
They would probably be alright if they had picked Trump as pope.
That's probably one of the most positive things written about the new pope.
From what I have read so far, he's the "middle of the road" candidate, your average, run-of-the-mill, Catholic bishop:
A little anti-LGBT, just a bit of a pedophile protector and apologist, default-sexist ... but not hard-line enough to not make any of it his entire personality.
Yeah he's a conservative. But that's not enough for Republicans anymore, you need to be a full blown fascist or you're not acceptable.
Imagine being more conservative than the Catholic Church.
New Pope Robert Francis Prevost, the Pedophile Protector!
Yeah, great choice....

You'd have thought that would win him some points with MAGA
He'll fit right into the roster.
Fuck the motherfucking pope. And if you're more offended by that than by the scumbag popes that cover for kiddy-fuckers, then fuck you too.
MAGA would crucify Jesus all over again
Jesus? That woke ass dude who believes in hand outs (feed the poor), pro-DEI (love thy neighbor), anti-capital punishment (preaches forgiveness)?
Don't forget brown.
What are you talking about? I have his picture on my mantle, he looks like Ewan McGregor wearing monk robes.
/s, obviously that's my Obi Wan shrine.
The true face of Jesus.
Crucify? Oh, no, no, no.
They would have him arrested and detained by plain-clothes ICE agents, held in a Texas concentration camp where he would be bundled with the "illegals," then shipped off to El Salvador to be starved and worked to death... Twice.
They would have set attack dogs on him in Palestine, bombed his extended family, then made Tik Tok videos mocking his death.

Very good! I see this as confirmation that they elected the right man for the job 😊
When you start calling every leader of the Catholic Church a Marxist, you've seriously lost the plot. The American right is ridiculous.
They should cut to the chase and call Jesus a Marxist.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40

According to headlines lately, MAGA melts down fucking constantly. I hypothesize that they're actually just liquid. They aren't 'melting down', this is just their natural state.
The natural state of the MAGAT, is a smelly shart.

I’ve posted this before but they don’t get to say “not my pope” they don’t get a vote. That’s the reality of faith based leaderships.
You think thats bad? You should read what their so called messiahs policies were.
