This sounds like a Tim Robinson bit.

Thank you Pope Leo

Is this a reference to something I missed? Or is it a generalization of American Christians?

This is just absurdism using the fact that there's a new pope as the basis of the meme.

It could just as easily be him saying God says it's ok to throw car batteries into the ocean.

How do you think Moses crossed it asshole? By waiving his arms around?? No. He built a land bridge of old car batteries that collapsed as soon as they crossed. Trapping the Egyptian army in an acidic brine that melted their faces off.

Jesus it's like you've never seen Indiana Jones

Thanks for the explanation, I was pretty lost here.

Yeah I don't think there's any basis to the quote.

Interestingly the earliest composed Christian document that has been recovered (the didache, the copy we have is from Ca. 1000 CE, but seems to be in the original Greek) condemns infanticide, specifically including by exposure to the elements. It also prohibits private property so the document is not taken authoritatively by many modern christians.

And if the baby lives, it’s the new prophet.
