Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope āis anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,ā adding that itās āGROSSā that he now leads the Catholic Church
It didnāt 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 heād 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 āWOKE MARXIST POPEā and complained that he is āworse than Francis,ā referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.
Even before the ādark horseā American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevostās views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.
Most people donāt read the entire bible and churches try to avoid it by doing ābible studyā 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.
Itās a horrible book and the god character is a monster.
Itās clearly divided into an older section and a newer section, and the basic definition of Christian is the newer section defining empathy, caring, accepting of all the people. Sure thereās still some effed up stuff but what do you want from a 1500 year old book: the basic message of the new part is love
Itās more accurate to say these people are not Christian even if the use the name. They do not follow the teachings they proclaim, and have more in common with the Pharisees, the oppressors
