The Cabbage Patch Kid, the brand new Catholic, is a monumentally pompous ass to presume to lecture the pope on Catholic doctrine and matters of faith. Mike Johnson, who is a Christian nationalist, kisses Dirtbag Donnie’s ass every day. He is anything but a Christian.

The disgraced, far right wing Pillar Substack (same clowns who took Trump’s side over Pope Leo) is ‘reporting’ that many Cardinals are upset at the direction of the consistory. This probably means one racist Cardinal - Dolan most likely- made an off handed comment. Fight back against false reporting and division in the Church! No false Gods!

According to Wikipedia, Mike Johnson is an Evangelical Southern Baptist, not a Catholic.

I am almost certain that Mike Johnson the speaker of the house is not catholic. The 2 most powerful Catholics in Government are Vance and Rubio. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Can someone print and send to the theoretical Catholics on SCOTUS? "...even if we are equipped with high-tech weapons, the Creator has endowed us with intelligence and free will to resolve conflicts as human beings and not as beasts.”

The premise of the headline may not be helpful. The Pope is not a secular leader beholden to other secular leaders. The Pope is not defying Trump, he is not defying the US. The Papacy is as we celebrated today SSt Peter and Paul the rock upon which the Church is built. It was there before the US existed and will be there after the US ceases to exist. War is a sin, the messy compromise of Just War theory notwithstanding. Trump his henchnen and followers will all be gone in 25 years or so. The Church thinks in centuries. Contradicting Trump, correcting Trump or saying Trump is wrong would be fine but Leo is beholden to God alone not Trump his supporters or his goons.

"Pope defies Trump" is a ludicrous headline. You defy something that has authority over you (either assumed or real). Whether you agree with the pope or not, to say he is defying a politician just makes no sense.

We repudiate this regime and their enablers regardless if they wear a collar. Pope Leo stands against War. It's amoral and as is the government. Stop the War.

As long as the so-called maga Catholics continue to receive the body and blood of Christ, they are being blessed, are they not? So, if one breaks the 10 Commandments every single day, they are forgiven on Sunday with Communion? smdh I guess these magas are so special they don't have to confess to their priest before receiving God's grace? I see Catholics following Vance...so they never have to admit they sinned. It's sad to me...because so many more humans will lose their souls, being influenced by these people who are so special they don't need to take personal responsibility. :( But maybe I'm wrong...I hope so. :(
