Trump ally Laura Loomer just smeared the Catholic Church as siding with “Jew haters” and blasted our “Marxist American Pope” for defending immigrants. JD Vance hasn't said a word.
They’re so butt hurt because they’re getting called out by the highest Christian religious figure in the world. They’re basically being told God has a problem with you because you’re against his will. They lash out like children because they’re wrong.
Sooooo… I tuned out after she called the Holy Father a Marxist. I truly wish people would re-read their political science 101 texts. The number of pundits, social media influencers, politicians and demagogues that throw around the terms socialism, Marxist and communism without actually understanding and realizing what these terms mean drives me to despair.
Marxism generally views religion critically as a tool of oppression that will eventually disappear once society's exploitative conditions are eliminated by a proletariat revolution which is often violent in nature. Marx was an avowed atheist. And while modern day Marxism has a somewhat more nuanced view of organized religions that does not automatically exclude a belief in God one should not forget that Marx was famously quoted as stating religion was the "opium of the masses.”
Furthermore, the Catholic Church explicitly opposes Communism in its doctrine in paragraph 2425 of the Catechism on the grounds that it threatens individual liberty and the inherent human dignity of all mankind bestowed by God himself.
So, you can call Pope Leo, the papacy and the Catholic Church many things. Not all of those terms may be complementary or positive in nature even. However, you cannot factually call the pope and the Church Marxist or communist in nature. You can debate the merits of Christianity in general and Catholicism more specifically by noting the many failings of the Church, its leaders/clergy and its members to live up to the ideals professed by Jesus Christ but please get your facts correct. Please open your minds and do a wee bit of reading of history, theology and political science.
JD Vance already looked rather sad as a shining example of Christian principles. Now he has an opportunity to reset the American people's understanding of his recently embraced faith to ensure random commenters no longer mistake as Marxist or misunderstand that true followers of Christ will always stand for the vulnerable.
When they run out of Hispanics whos next Arabs Jews Liberals their already after Native Americans and Pope Leo will Pray for them all. They will always need someone to blame!!!
Why do we even give them the attention they crave by commenting on what they say or post? They’re after clicks. They don’t understand the Catholic religion and make negative comments which makes them look even more ridiculous.
The Trump administration is not only waging war against all Hispanics but now they are waging war against Catholics. Loomer is crazy - wasn't she supporting genocide against all Hispanics?
It doesn't get anymore pathetic than BIG MOUTH Loomer. She doesn't know anymore about the Catholic Church than wanna be Catholic former ATHEIST VANCE. Guess they never studied history or heard of John Paul II the first Polish Pope in 400 years and the fall of Communism in Poland during his reign. Loomers not paying attention to history because her mouth is bigger than her brain. Keep tuned in folks because Leo XIV doesn't seem to be afraid of Trump's zombies.
If justice isn’t served in this life, it sure will be in the next. (Hoping for this life though, to be honest.) I’m not even Catholic but I know better than to slander the Pope or lead people away from the teachings of Jesus.
So… umm… who else wants to vote for Pope Leo XIV in 2028?

“In Loomer’s warped logic, when the Church stands up for immigrant families, it’s somehow doing the work of anti-Semites.”
What?
What?
This has all the fertilizer logic of some of the stuff that Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie, shovel.
What we have here are the antics of The Loud Little Handful, written by Mark Twain in The Mysterious Stranger (1910). Check it out.
“In fact, she met with the former president last month to advise him on staff shake-ups.”
Yes. Which is why the executive branch in Washington, DC, is, at the moment, a wisdom desert, a compassion desert, a humanity desert.

To take a page from Trump's playbook, can we not start calling her *Laura Looney*?
Asking for 340.1 million friends.
May God bless and keep you.

I stand with Pope Leo.
Vance is a fake Catholic.
