The Pope’s brother traveled with JD Vance and other administration members to the Vatican this past weekend. It seems like Trump is trying to use the brother to influence the Pope.

Private meeting with the US administration and Pope. JD Vance is on the left of Pope Leo. Brother Louis is on the right of Pope Leo. Marco Rubio is to the left of JD’s wife Usha.
Its amongst the highest of the “traditionally protestant countries” (see Germany: around historically 60% prot & 40% catholic; and Netherlands: 60% protestant & 40% catholic, Switzerland:57% prot 41% catholic and the UK: 90% prot & 9% catholic)

This is why he was so chuffed.
But like… influencing the pope to do what? Beatifying Trump?
Issuing papal edicts against DEI and Woke, presumably
They’ll get around to it in a few centuries. They just realized the Earth goes around the Sun a few decades ago
Why bother? Aren’t most American Protestants anyway?
23% is catholic and a lot of tradcath converts are hardcore pro-trumpers.
Damn that’s a lot, I didn’t know that
