Most of the US doesn’t care what the pope has to say.

True, but there are some areas in the deep South where Calothicism is a big cultural influence. However, there is also quite a bit of friction between Calothicism and some more evangelical groups in those same areas.

I think this could at least cause some meaningful friction to public opinion in some very Pro-Trumo areas. Who knows how things will land while people resolve their confrontation with the cognitive dissonance, but friction is good.

Catholicism in the deep south is nowhere near as possible like Baptist or Methodist. Most of the deep south doesn’t even consider Catholicism to be christian. The KKK targeted catholics under this belief.

I live in the Bible Belt. Catholics might as well be satanist to 99% of the people here.

My neighbor is the only catholic in the neighborhood and that’s how the neighbors talk about her.

She moved here from New York for some reason.
