This article basically just gives a platform to right wing nutjons and their conspiracy theories
Why isn't there a single quote from Pope Leo XIV?
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 make any of it his entire personality.
I’m ever so closer to crossing Trump suggesting the US goes to war with the Vatican City off my 2025 bingo card…
As I told my mother and father yesterday, I firmly believe that under the Trump regime that if for any reason this new Pope comes to America that he'll either be captured and tortured before being killed or just straight up killed for being a traitor.
Very good! I see this as confirmation that they elected the right man for the job 😊
Of course Laura Loonie is against anything that is good in the world.
You're only an American If __________________
Funny thing is he's the first American pope.
You'd think that counts for something and they would be yelling "USA! USA! USA!". But nah, a pope espousing some actual Christian values is terrible according to them.
New Pope Robert Francis Prevost, the Pedophile Protector!
Yeah, great choice....

You'd have thought that would win him some points with MAGA
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.
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.
Yeah, but the new Pope may be to the left of Mussolini, so MAGA doesn't like him.
Every second of the day
You think thats bad? You should read what their so called messiahs policies were.
Trump, who was almost certainly unaware of the new pope’s criticisms of him and his immigration policies in the past, sent Leo XIV his well wishes after he was made the head of the Catholic Church.
Imagine having to be the staffer to explain to Trump that the “first ever” American pope that he’s hoping will somehow sign on to his sacrilegious Anti-Christ bullshit is actually going to be the ultimate nightmare for him to deal with.
Pope Francis on steroids. Pope Leo XIV has a record of being pro-workers’ rights. He was the exact right pick for pope to stem the rising fascist tide that’s trying to co-opt religion.
