Not a huge fan of the Catholic Church, but hardly a surprise, amerikkka's not exactly known for being very friendly towards Catholics anyways.
The Catholic Church may be corrupt and reactionary and have friendships with fascists in its past, but right now it's less extreme and less fascist than MAGA.

it was Catholics who delivered the White House for President Trump,” he concluded.
Oh snap! I can blame the Catholics for all this?

Shitty Republican Christians are upset at a Christian who actually attempts to live by the teachings of Christ.
Go figure.
Trump, who was almost certainly unaware of the new pope’s criticisms of him and his immigration policies in the past, sent Leo XIV his well wishes after he was made the head of the Catholic Church.
Imagine having to be the staffer to explain to Trump that the “first ever” American pope that he’s hoping will somehow sign on to his sacrilegious Anti-Christ bullshit is actually going to be the ultimate nightmare for him to deal with.
Pope Francis on steroids. Pope Leo XIV has a record of being pro-workers’ rights. He was the exact right pick for pope to stem the rising fascist tide that’s trying to co-opt religion.

We got a pope, they got a cope.
It's stupid and meaningless, but hooo boy it gave me a whole 0.2 seconds of dopamine saying that.
he’s homophobic and a pedophile enabler so they’ll come to like him soon enough

You know you suck ass when the much-hated Roman Catholic church dunks on you.
Dunk hospital, welcome to the Dunk Ward, I'm your Dunk Nurse today, what brings you in today?
You got dunked on by WHO?!
Someone that does this to herself calling anything else "gross"... 😂 🤣
Did she show up at the plastic surgeon's office with a picture of the doll from saw and say "this is what I want"?
The best takes on religion come from Laura Lucifer, everyone knows.
Kimberly Guilfoyle also looked attractive before. It's something with those people that think this is an attractive look.
The consequences of leaving the car window open for a buff and shine.
Welp, that right-hand photo just introduced me to my new sleep paralysis demon.
Halloween mask time!
is that the same person?!
I think the one on the right is from some The Purge sequel.
/s
I searched around for this and the one on the right was described in a few places as "heavily photoshopped". She may look a bit odd after all the plastic surgery, but as far as I could see she doesn't usually look quite this odd.

Hmm, someone call maga a waaaaahmbulance, it's nappy time.
When you start calling every leader of the Catholic Church a Marxist, you've seriously lost the plot. The American right is ridiculous.
They should cut to the chase and call Jesus a Marxist.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40

Yeah, it was Ohio Catholics (and their momey) that put JD Vance in the running for VP in the first place. People are putting a lot of faith that this Cardinal wrote his own tweets. I wouldn't be opposed to an anti-Trump pope but to call him one is counting chickens before they hatch. Let's see what he does when Trump puts some pressure on him.
…wouldn’t be opposed to an anti-Trump pope
Dude that’s the only kind of Pope I can get behind.
I mean, this pope is still all about protecting priests who got behind small children.
By the time they’re Pope, they’re too old to be a choir boy.

“Progressive values” - do they even read the new testament? Compassion is the overt message of the Jesus they claim to follow.
Of course they didn't. They only use the bible as a prop or to justify their hatred for gay people. None of them ever thought about actually reading the thing.
Most of the new testament is for suckers and losers in these peoples' opinion. They are all about the vindictive, crazy shit in the old testament, and a few rare things from the new testament. like Paul's letters.
They only care about the parts of the bible that they can use to justify their cruelty to others.
They follow supply side Jesus, the prosperity gospel, and gravitate towards passages that they can use as a cudgel on people who are ew gross yucky to them.
It isn't even supply side Jesus anymore, they are more and more brazen that trump is their god.
This is the truth. Trump is their prophet. Why else does anyone think he posted a meme of himself as the Pope. They know they've created an unbreakable cult and there's nothing that can be done to shatter the indoctrination his zealots are thoroughly infected with.

All of the values they enjoy following are - in their eyes - only for white Caucasian people of European descent .... the bad parts where you get to punish, threaten, hit, strike, wound, maim or kill applies to everyone else who isn't white, straight and male
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
Christians need to step up their game and actually follow the teachings of Christ.
