I didn't care about who the new pope was but he's getting more sympathetic by the minute.
There is no such thing as marxist pope.
Are you calling Lara Loomer a liar?
Leo XIII called marxism a "deadly plague". I guess Leo XIV chose his name because he's ok with his predecessor.

Thinking a second about this, he literally pwned MAGA
The entire conservative line of thought is backed by Christianity and American exceptionalism, and now there comes an American pope and tells "You're not following the God's word". That's a damn checkmate.
Wonder how many MAGA supporters, many of which are devout Christians, will start questioning their beliefs.
Also, lol, a Marxist Pope is top comedy.
They won't question their Christian beliefs for a single second because they didn't have any in the first place. They'll turn their backs and say "The Pope went woke," still call themselves godly Christians, and continue to spread hate. During that whole time they will never question whether or not they're Christian, they'll just hate the Pope too.
Yeah, exactly this. It can be confusing because they call themselves Christians, loudly and frequently - but their attitudes and beliefs have sweet fuck all to do with the teachings of Christ.
It's kinda like the way they use 'Marxist' for anyone left of Mussolini. I'm not sure if it's a deliberate attempt to shift definitions, or if they don't understand what the words actually mean. Wankers.

Much of the American Christian establishment is the type of Protestant that does not consider Catholics to be Christian.
I know that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but that's how Americans "do religion".
Baptists don't care what the Pope has to say, seventh-day Adventists think he is actually the Antichrist. Most American Catholics don't really care what the Vatican has to say and would resent the implication that they're supposed to give a shit about the Pope's opinion.
Americans just don't do religion very well.

Of course Laura Loonie is against anything that is good in the world.
That's probably one of the most positive things written about the new pope.
From what I have read so far, he's the "middle of the road" candidate, your average, run-of-the-mill, Catholic bishop:
A little anti-LGBT, just a bit of a pedophile protector and apologist, default-sexist ... but not hard-line enough to make any of it his entire personality.
Yeah he's a conservative. But that's not enough for Republicans anymore, you need to be a full blown fascist or you're not acceptable.
New Pope Robert Francis Prevost, the Pedophile Protector!
Yeah, great choice....

You'd have thought that would win him some points with MAGA
He'll fit right into the roster.
Fuck the motherfucking pope. And if you're more offended by that than by the scumbag popes that cover for kiddy-fuckers, then fuck you too.
Imagine being more conservative than the Catholic Church.
New church when
MAGA would melt down no matter who they picked because everything maga is doing right now is the opposite of what Jesus would do, and whoever is the pope is going to criticize maga for being terrible humans.
Pope 1: MAGA Bad!
Pope 2: MAGA Bad!
Highly Religious MAGA: Pope Bad!
Gotta love it.
They would probably be alright if they had picked Trump as pope.
May the last king be strangled in the bowels of the last priest
Very good! I see this as confirmation that they elected the right man for the job 😊
i doubt these inbreds even know who marxist is, or read of his writings.
"who marxist is"
Is it safe to assume you meant: The author of Das Kapital, and The Communist Manifest, Karl Marx is?
Basic human empathy = marxist
