Is Pope Leo XIV a 'WOKE MARXIST POPE'? He is if you're a Trump supporter. | Opinion
Opinion by Rex Huppke, USA TODAY • 11h • 4 min read

saw something that said he voted, in the past, in GOP primaries ---

but, frankly, i don't care -- he's a world leader, and a religious leader, and will be judged by his actions -- the last pope was pretty cool - this guy seems more conservative, for a pope, but not like a radical either way --

doesn't really affect me in any meaningful way, one way or the other --

cut the guy some slack

You're right.

The Pope ain't the problem.

Another leader of a superstitious cult irrelevant to most of us.

I don't think you can categorize somebody viewed as the religious leader of 1.4 billion people as being irrelevant.

And, yes to the OP....I think the selection was a straight-up "screw you" to trump and MAGA from the Catholic leadership.

I had to think about that a little while. I figured it was coincidental, not intentional.

But I think you are correct. And others agree with you.

Trump And The New Pope Are On A Collision Course. Here's Why...

The new Pope has directly challenged senior members of the Trump administration before and in this video I explain why and also why it's almost certain to happen again, but now with a lot more impact.

The difference between this pope and previous popes is, this one is expected to kiss POTUS ring instead of the other way around.

If they aren't yet, they will be...

Is the Pope in favor of abortion on demand?

Is the Pope in favor of the alphabet agenda, gay marriage, chemical and physical castration of children, state control of intra-family relationships and education, etc.

Those issues, if he doesn’t embrace the entire woke agenda, could quickly cause his removal from being the new darling of the Democrats and make him a just another homophobic racist.

Pretty sure the Pope's views on all those issues, both real and those existing only in your fevered imagination, are well-known. Try something else.

"Airf Force One"is the ID of the aircraft the president happens to be flying. It could be ANY aircraft. My concern is if the subject aircraft has all the bells, whistles and defense capabilities of the current plane(s) used for presidential travel

Way to go, dumbass.

If they think the pope is a "woke" liberal, wait till they find about Jesus.

Pure rhetoric, Judge. I don't know what you mean by the "alphabet agenda," but the Pope's position on gay marriage--and yours--are irrelevant in the US in view of the Supreme Court's ruling that gay marriage is a Constitutional right.

Children are not being castrated. Please cite a source for this; provide a "receipt" as Steve A. says (incorrectly) he always provides. Should be easy--Fox News and its ilk would trumpet such an event.

As for state control of intra-family relationships, are you talking about cases of abuse? Divorce? The states have long controlled both.

How could anyone be stupid enough to think that the head of the Catholic Church, whose doctrine is about as far from MAGA as it could get, would be a Trump ally?

Lord God, help us to remember those who tonight will go to sleep unfed and unwelcome,
strangers in foreign lands, people who have fled for their lives and are far from their homes.

We lift up to you those who are escaping persecution and conflict, having fled death, torture or ruthless exploitation.

So many carry wounds, mental and physical. So many have suffered greatly.

Lord Jesus, give us more of your compassion for their plight, soften our hearts to their situation,
and help us follow your lead in seeking justice and mercy on their behalf.

We pray for an end to the wars, poverty and human rights abuses that drive desperate people to become refugees in the first place.

We give thanks for people working in troubled countries and ask for more of
your blessing so we can bring life, dignity and hope to those that remain.

We thank you that you are Lord of all the earth and all its people are loved by you.

We pray these things in the name of your Son who was himself born into the troubled life of a refugee.

Doubly ironic, since the few here it applies to won't get it.
