Apparently the far-right so-called "christians" are having a sht-fit. Good.

'Straight challenge to MAGA': Trump's fans rage at Pope Leo's 'woke manifesto' - RAWSTORY

Pope Leo XIV issued another document that seemingly puts him in direct odds against... Trump's MAGA movement.

The first American-born pontiff has angered U.S. conservatives with recent statements and comments supporting immigrants and climate action, and he has sharply criticized market capitalism, warlike rhetoric, anti-abortion activism and, in a new document, wealth inequality.

“God has a special place in his heart for those who are discriminated against and oppressed, and he asks us, his church, to make a decisive and radical choice in favor of the weakest,” Leo wrote. "Thus, in a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people."

The pope infuriated conservatives with his response to a question about the archdiocese of his hometown of Chicago, which rescinded a lifetime achievement award to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) for his work on immigration due to controversy on his support for abortion rights, and Leo said people cannot call themselves “pro-life” if they stand against abortion but endorse “inhuman treatment” of migrants or support the death penalty..

1. Imagine that. Yet another Pope (after Francis) who actually follows Christian doctrine and the New Testament...

How shocking...

I'm so glad these MAGA Xian hypocrites are being called out. Of course, those Trump-loving, so-called "Catholics" on SCOTUS won't get the message either.

2. MAGA only likes Popes when the topic is abortion and women being subjugated.

3. Pope Leo:Excommunicate them all for blasphemy!

4. "Far-right so-called 'christians' are having a sht-fit" because they're being exposed for who they really are.

These rightwing christian nationalists don't follow the teachings of Christ, instead they worship a cruel unforgiving God, not one of love, but of vengeance and hate.

5. Sounds like a Red Letter Pope. 👍

6. So, basically one sect of "Christians" calling out a different group of "Christians" as blasphemers

on account of THEIR group having sole possession of the ONE & TRUE MEANING OF THE GOSPEL!11!!!

Gee, how fucking novel is that?

9. Similarly how (if one were to carry the point further) one sect of "Americans" calls out a different group of "Americans

on account of THEIR group having sole possession of the ONE & TRUE MEANING OF THE CONSTITUTION...

............... I'd imagine.

Though I'd have a sneaking suspicion that somewhere, therein, lies THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

7. Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man. Thomas Paine See White House occupant for an example.
