Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope ‘is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,’ adding that it’s ‘GROSS’ that he now leads the Catholic Church
It didn’t take long for right-wing media figures and MAGA provocateurs to cry out in rage over the election of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV after it was revealed that he’d publicly criticized JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd.
Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.
Even before the “dark horse” American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevost’s views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.
MAGA meltdown? No way. They melt harder than a slice of cheese on a patty
losing it at the fact that most evangelical Christian assholes are shocked when the Catholic Pope has different views
I knew it-- just KNEW IT-- the moment we learned the new Pope was American, I knew the MAGAt moron brigade would immediately be expecting the guy to be some gob-slobbering jackass racist like them, expecting him to start licking drumpf’s toes.
The fact the Pope isn’t going to be ordered around by King Damp Pants is going to be a talking point for Faux “news” Entertainment for a while lol
I was expecting it, too. I thought the AI picture of Trump as pope meant he had pulled strings to get an American, and was planning on combining that with his Deus Vult - tattooed secretary of defense to start a literal Crusade.
The pope doesn’t like evil? Huh, imagine that.
I love how they lost their shit about an American speaking Italian, in Italy, to a shit load of Italians.
The American nationalism has truly rotted their brains.
Woke Marxist Pope? Well shit, I just might start going to church again
Same here lol
I just want to add. Anyone that ACTUALLY FOLLOWS the teachings of the bible, cannot with good conscious support Donald Trump.
I think you mean actually follows the teachings of jesus. If you actually follow the teachings of the Bible you probably actually would be good with donald. You would be good with slavery. The Bible is a really f***** up thing
Fair enough
Amen!
I would be surprised if there are more than a couple hundred people in the US who have ever actually read the bible.
My favorite part is when Jesus had a “spirited debate” with capitalists selling stuff in the Temple.
Most people don’t read the entire bible and churches try to avoid it by doing “bible study” where they cherry pick sections that sound good. They avoid the bits about god allowing owning slaves, god telling his people to kill everyone in the area but keep the virgin young girls as rape slaves, and all the other juicy bits in the bible.
It’s a horrible book and the god character is a monster.
That’s just silly. Many millions likely have. But I get your point.
MAGA hating the new pope is the biggest compliment he could possibly get
Yep I’d be crying with joy if I were him
Are we talking about the one that died or his new replacement?
Edit: its about the new Pope (Pope Leo) not the old pope (pope Francis). Apparently the dead progressive pope was replaced with another progressive pope. Cool
Old pope appointed the bishops who appointed new pope so liberal was pretty much guaranteed. The American thing was a surprise.
The last one was American too tho
Wasn’t he Argentinian?
Yes.
So then he was SOUTH American.
And the new one is NORTH American.
People using “American” to refer to anyone from the western continent (from a euro centric perspective) is conventional in some parts or the world. It’s not the convention in Canada, we bristle at the thought of being labeled Americans.

Yes.
Yes, but not US of American.
Well, Francis had as many good takes as bad takes. Some people described him as “strategically trying to piss off as many people as possible.”
Example?
He wanted Ukraine to surrender and back in 2015 and 2016 made a few statements about how he didn’t think children should be taught gender ideologies or procedures and that there were strong immutable differences between men and women.
“I ask myself, if the so-called gender theory is not, at the same time, an expression of frustration and resignation, which seeks to cancel out sexual difference because it no longer knows how to confront it. Yes, we risk taking a step backwards. The removal of difference in fact creates a problem, not a solution.”
~Da Pope
I strongly disagree with him.
Maybe the church knows better than to have a concordat with the nazis this time.
Maybe.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. There are still a large number of unpunished child raping fuckers under their protection.
Yes, but that doesn’t have much bearing on whether they have another concordat with nazis or not.
GOOD! that means he was the right choice…
He should excommunicate them all.
Pretty sure none of them are Catholic, which makes it even weirder that they care about the Pope at all.
JD Vance converted to Catholicism 5 or 6 years ago, apparently.
5-6 years conversion and then killing the pope using his cringe. What a run!
Maybe keep him away from this one? Throw him a nice leather couch to distract him.
Fun fact killing the pope is an instant excommunication. It can be argued that Vance DID kill the pope or speed up his death by demanding that Frank leave the hospital to meet with him, ergo Vance needs to be excommunicated.
I’m not catholic anymore but I’m getting real sick of people who converted because they like the vibes the religion had in the fucking 1500s.
As I told my mother and father yesterday, I firmly believe that under the Trump regime that if for any reason this new Pope comes to America that he’ll either be captured and tortured before being killed or just straight up killed for being a traitor.
