It always baffled me how these right-wing Catholics and Jews thought they could play footsie with fascism. As Chris Rock said, "that trains never late." Dumbasses.

Throw in the Mormons too. All too eager to work together to undermine secular society without thinking about what comes next.

The Pope is merely expressing an opinion, much less interference than that Vance is doing in Hungary.

Since when is standing up for the poor, the marginalized, and wanting peace against our policies? Never mind, I already know the answer

Huh. The Pope called a prayer meeting for 6pm tomorrow night (noon EDT) to pray for world peace. I saw everyone from mainline Protestants to Pentecostals to Jews, Muslims, and witches wanting to join in with the Catholics on a thread. We all are united in wanting peace.

And yet they are all OK with Christian Nationalists comments and ties to politics. Again, it is always, "we can do it but you cannot" with the Trump regime and his followers.

Catholics tend to forget that they are just a few decades removed from being hunted by the KKK.

Whether those few decades are just the past or also the future is yet to be seen.

Let's be clear; that hypocritical moron does EXACTLY the opposite of what she proselytizes in her book. Staying home, propping up her husband, and managing the kids.

"Children should be seen, not heard" should be changed so the first words are "Evangelicals like her"...

Religion is the cause of the most violent wars and deaths of innocent people since the beginning of time.
Good thing I'm not in charge. I'd outlaw it completely.
No freedom of.
Only freedom from, now and forever, without an amen.

Very anti-Catholic and even against some Protestant sects
Christofascism isn't for everyone

Many older Jewish men I know voted Trump after 10/6 and fervently still support it because of the support toward Israel. Many of the younger Jewish men I know donā€™t.

The Hamas attacks really had a major lasting influence on global outlook, and that is understandable but also can be frustrating

My mom grew up in North Carolina. In the 1950s the Klan burned crosses in her front yard because her family was Catholic. Any Catholic getting in bed with these racist a-holes should've known better.

Oddly enough, Iā€™ve felt less ā€œecumenicalā€ toward right-wing evangelicals for quite some time now. Agency only runs one way though.

If "their" president and his yes-men cabinet weren't warmongering, racist fascists, they may not have heard from the pope.

They are dumbasses in the sense that they are fascists, but fascism had its longest runs in Spain and France with considerable church integration, so it's not surprising that the the American version, which shares as much or more with those two than with the German version, would seek to ape them.

Project 2025, guys. Says right in there. They want to rid the country of any religion that isnā€™t their own white ultranationalism carrying a crucifix.

Protestants tend to ignore if not mock the Pope, why is Leo so concerning to them, is it because he refused to attend trumpā€™s takeover of July 4th or they know he speaks the truth, Catholics who support trump were once thought single issue voters but apparently they support his cruelty & criminality

Sounds like Megan is a war lover. Fortunately, I think she is in a diminishing minority. I'm personally non-religious, but I find Pope Leo and his stand on the Iranian war to be admirable.

Niemƶller was a Lutheran pastor and got sent to the camps when opposing government-sponsored efforts to unify his church into a single pro-Nazi German Evangelical Church. Nazis are a death cult they throw everyone into the meat grinder and then their kids and then itā€™s just them in a bunker
