Darkness and filth. That about sums it up.

Pope Leo's message on twitter today: "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

I'm not particularly religious, nor am I Catholic, but I endorse this message.

1. I second your endorsement.

2. Darkness and filth are Trump's calling cards.

Maybe he really is the Antichrist. A good old-fashioned exorcism might be necessary.

3. Maybe a good name for a band?

No, I think I'll let trump own it. The darkness and filth is his and his crony's.

Prince of Darkness..JDV

9. Hey! What a FABULOUS idea!

How would Evangelicals respond to a bunch of Left wing exorcists outside the White House trying to drive the devil out with incantations, holy sprinkles and tearing at their garments? What a sight that would be!

4. Trump & Hegseth even trumped these guys for taking God's name in vain.

I remember the first time I saw this meme & how it landed as such a perfect example of what that commandment really meant.

5. Yes, we've fallen so far even from the dark times

of Swaggert or whoever those preachers are.

6. You can add Franklin Graham to that list

His dad would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what his son is preaching.

8. Pope Leo taking on Dumb Donald, the Anti-Christ.

This is it. This is what does it. Donald and his band of American Nazis are going down.

11. He forgot to say

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

[11 Bravo]

12. Those should be the Secret Service names for Trump and Melania.

14. I believe a fair understanding would be that he was only quoting "blessed are the peacemakers" clause

To someone with some familiarity with the most common biblical translations, the latter clause beginning with “but” reads as his interpretation rather than part of the quote.

15. That was my understanding as well

I just saw him reading the above quote on CNN and it was more obvious that way.
