Never ever, ever, ever, ever discredit the Pope and politics again

Plus X: Reportedly was upset by World War I before his death.

Benedict XV: Had a strong denouncement of World War I.

John XXIII: Made efforts to mediate in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Paul VI: Said, ‘No more war, never again!’ when speaking to the UN in 1965.

John Paul II: Fought communism, vocal opponent of South Africa’s apartheid system.

Ultra-Conservative Benedict XVI: Opposed Iraq War.

Francis: Spoke out against war.

Yet, it’s not just pontiffs who consistently advocate for peace.

Don’t forget the felon’s blasphemous Truth Social post, now Troy Nehls, who said Pope Leo should stay out politics, also has said trump is almost the second coming of Christ after previously suggesting Charlie Kirk would’ve been a 13th apostle.

MAGAts just get their fee-fees hurt anytime someone speaks out against Dear Leader. They can’t handle dissent.

And if you’re a MAGAt lurking here (one of you trolled this forum after what happened in November 2024), please do pound sand. You have no moral high ground. You can’t handle dissent, you can’t handle reality.
