Yep. Also Catholic official "recommended ideology of state" was distributivism last time I checked, which is something of a holy mix (can't be unholy mix in this situation) between anarcho-capitalism and anarcho-syndicalism with a conservative touch.
It has its downsides, but the upsides are that limiting immigration, legal inequality, racism and fascism are in theory not allowed there.
(Just in case someone thinks Peter Thiel and such people's ideas are what Catholic church recommends, and they surely want to make such an impression, - no.)
Bible is like the Constitution. Some people don't read it.
Because they'd be atheists if they actually did. The ones who read it and stay Christians are just sociopaths.
It’s literally in their Bible…
So it literal genocide. Committed by the supposed "good guys".
There's a lot in the Bible, but laws for protecting immigrants are not contradicted with the genocide of ancient civilizations. The establishment of Israel as a nation was just as promised as it's destruction.
Something something Jesus new covenant.
New covenant, who dis?
Lol, I should bookmark the "I came to fulfill the law" verse, I whip it out so much... They're so predictable.
Don't make me like you, kiddy diddler.
Sometimes working with people you dislike to do a good thing isn’t a bad idea. No True Scotsman fallacy is why America is where it is now.
Jesus’ family were supposedly immigrants and asylum seekers. Priests should step up. So should real christians.
Another argument for renaming the "No True Scotsman" fallacy to "No True Christian" to make it more self-explanatory.

This is where we find out which faith is stronger, organized religion or the MAGA cult.
How many Americans are catholics though? (And how many of those are hispanics anyways?)
It's easy to ignore the pope, when he's not even part of your denomination.
Please refer to this terribly colored pie chart for your answer.
The MAGA nuts are Christian nationalist protestants. They think the Pope is the antichrist (literally many of them do).
Mormons too, they’ve been screeching about Armageddon and the antichrist since we elected that black fellow
Which is complete bullshit, a long standing tenant of the Mormon faith was to “follow the laws of the land” but once we started actually making some social progress they started forgetting that more and more and more.
The whispered part of that is that members should run for office; that way they have the power to make laws conform to their ideology. I was surprised by the number of Mormons in Congress. They’re pretty over-represented for the population they represent.
Well, that tenet only came about after all the fraud in NY, being kicked out of multiple Midwest towns for being so obnoxious no one could stand them, landing in UT with the BY in BYU immediately building a house for himself and another for all his wives next door, and Uncle Sam threatening to take away their tax exemption if they don’t allow black people in…THEN eventually god changed his mind
It’s always been “follow the law of the land, unless god tells you different then go ahead but don’t tip off the feds”
There have been a few shows/movies recently that have kind of explored this time and place in US history, and it's some really interesting shit. Mormon militias and what not.
Yet many Catholics voted in line with the MAGA nuts, purely on abortion. The American Catholic Church has turned abortion into its defining political litmus test. Hopefully this new Pope can convince American bishops that there are other issues worth their attention.
Besides, the folks who run the US right now always need an enemy. Once they run through the immigrants, and LGBT people, who's next? It's entirely possible these christofascists start ostracizing Catholics. They never liked them anyway, they just liked their votes, and they probably think they won't need votes anymore to keep in power.
My fucking parents voted for this asshole because of abortion. I yell at them about how many these fascists have already killed. Stopping aids aid from USAID alone is going to kill thousands (millions?).
Western Christians haven't cared about their religion for at least a century, probably more. Bets on MAGA.
If you're following Maga you've long since started zany rationalization of your Christianity. Trump is an absolute caricature of the anti-christ incarnate. It's absolutely laughable. This will not break the hippocrates.
The Pope isn't the American Christian icon you'd think. JFK was Catholic and it was a big deal.
American Christianity is dozens and dozens of sects and styles and flavors. Overall they roughly disrespect and respect the Pope about the same, he's irrelevant really.
Modern American fascism has been claiming catholicism, see Vance. This is big for that reason. That and catholicism being the largest individual branch of Christianity in America
On the other hand, Biden is a Catholic too and that wasn't an election issue. And Trump probably couldn't tell you which denomination he pretends to be part of.

It'd be better if Pope Leo deputized and trained additional Vatican Guards and deployed them at various locations. Also a priest.
