Pope Delivers Holy Warning to Trump in Blistering Address

Members of the Catholic Church in the US now have a very difficult decision. Do they follow their spiritual leader, who presumably is carrying on the tradition of Saint Peter, who was chosen by Christ, or do they follow the antichrist occupying the White House? It’s going to be a close call.

It's God damn time religion starts calling out Trump's blatant immorality. Well past time. America pope, do the thing!

Christians think Donald is god. Went to church, and was shocked to see how many people support this crappy ass President and the war he’s started.

Can we stop with the hopeless, nihilistic comments that nothing matters, and that it is impossible to weaken Trump's cult? I have Catholic Trumpy family too. I get it. It's hard. But things like this do cause more cognitive dissonance. It may help a few see the reality of this evil orange piece of shit. It also makes it harder for the institution of the Church (those shitty right wing American cardinals, bishops, pastors) to use their positions to reinforce Trumpism. Stuff like this matters. So do mass protests. They make it harder to maintain the illusion that MAGA is a correct consensus path.

Wish more leaders would speak out.

If he's serious he should bring out a tool that hasn't been used in a century or more - public official ex-communication. Trump won't care but I'm pretty sure JD will find it at least a little humilating.

This explains why yesterday when my Trumper grandma told me to put "the Christian channel" on TV and I put on a program with the pope she was like "no not that one."

they already gave up their God given FREE WILL .. to wear those ugly red hats “literally” on their foreheads. and now with an American Pope, it couldn’t be more of sign! They’re not just misguided- they’re ignoring the Pope, not following Jesus teachings, or praying to God. They pray for hate, ignorance, greed, destruction… Christian Nationalism is not virtuous, it’s pure evil in plain view.

Waiting for the mental gymnastics from all the ‘Christians’ on the right

And Pope Leo raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, “Oh Lord, bless this, thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy..” And the Lord did grin.

This is going to have to end, dementia is so obvious

wouldn't it be nice if strikes from heaven were real

Americans are mentally ill as a society. Suffering from narcissism, PTSD, chronic depression, and a variety of syndromes brought about by decades of being propagandized by the far right news media and by their own government.

Incoming Truth Social post calling the pope a radical left-wing Democrat or something like that.

What the f*** does this even mean? Holy warning? LOL

Well Franklin Graham said it’s all fine and Trump is definitely getting into heaven 🙄

Choosing to follow a man who couldn’t name a single Bible verse over the freaking pope shows how far up their own asses they are

Six of nine Supreme Court justices are Catholic.

The pontiff expressed concern for a “crucified humanity,” adding that the church can “hear the painful groans of all those who are oppressed by violence and are victims of war.” He asked warmongers to “have mercy” for the people impacted by the conflict. “Christ, King of Peace, cries out again from his cross: God is love! Have mercy! Lay down your weapons! Remember that you are brothers and sisters!” he said. Donald FIFA can't get you into heaven........

Leo could come out and say: "If you support Trump your a terrible person and your excommunicated" and nothing would change. American 'Christians' are completely brainwashed.

Go Pope Leo! The Pope is a rock star! https://youtube.com/shorts/hdUyr3whPo8?si=0ynNM7L0REr1T1ex

Excommunicate Trump!

It’s too bad MAGA believes in their own God.

American evangelicals don’t care about the pope. I grew up in a Baptist church my whole life hearing about how the Catholic church is aligned w the antichrist. They’re totally unfazed by the pope. But Hispanic voters in the US will listen. 

Paywall. Couldnt read it

The Pope only mistake here is thinking Trump prays.

Hope that those Catholic Supreme Court Judges are listening

Finally.

You gotta luv this guy…

Two pedos walk into a bar ..

This would help if Trump wasn't the anti-Christ.

it's the church's own damn fault for making homosexuality and abortion the only issues they preached on for decades.

Wild that these people align more with Trump and Netanyahu than the frickin pope.

Are there examples of warnings delivered by Pope that are not holy?

Just the Catholics. The rest do not care.

A pope with balls, finally.

Are you Americans as a society? Btw, it’s an opinion.

There's a small chance that the Catholics start a crusade to ban Trump

Imagine if we lived with some D&D rules or shit and this caused some fuckin global group stat debuffs for trump and his aligned followers, or ya know, any kind of actual consequences at all.

From what I just saw at my in laws house with their friends, they would just as soon call the Pope woke

Pope should stand behind that plexy bullet-proof glass, because his scathing critique will bounce right back from the orange-skinned-baffoon.

Trump just straight-up isn't Catholic*,* so I fail to see why he'd give a shit about the Pope proclaiming something and why anyone thinks it matters to him specifically. Like, you can make a whole discussion about trying to split off some Catholics from MAGA, but that's about it. (And I'd note that this is very much a glass houses thing historically, given shit like the Crusades and Inquisition.)

The Vatican (under Pope Pius XII) was officially neutral during World War II and did not align with either the Axis or the Allies … we’ve seen this kind of thing before.

Words

Well, get ready for MAGA Pope. Aka just Trump.

Doesn’t the Pope know he’s not the RIGHT kind of Christian?

Just because we are Catholic and conservative doesn’t mean we are stupid or afraid to call out a racist jackwagon puppet installed by a small group of ultra right white nationalists.

If the No Kings protest fell on Trump's deaf ears, this will too.

How does he know anything. Just the head story teller in a another Pedophilic organization with a history of torture and murder :)

While white evangelicals are consistently the strongest supporters of Trump, it is noted that they are not a monolith and that their proportion of the total US population has declined, from 23% in 2006 to around ONLY 13.6%-16% IN RECENT YEARS.

Pedo criticizing pedo.

Just excommunicate them. That easy

I am not Christian and have a lot of problems with the way religion is used to do and justify evil acts, but I do think the philosophy of Christ is worth studying and absorbing deeply. I went to a Palm Sunday service with my elderly parents this morning for the sake of sharing something that is important to them, and it had been the fist time in awhile that I’d encountered the story of the passion. Theology aside, it is such a bleak and powerful statement about political violence and corruption, and the use of propaganda to whip up a mob to justify horrible violence for the sake of the consolidation of power. It resonated in a powerful way, mostly because of all the horrible shit that is going on in the world right now. Christianity is so interesting. There is a powerful lesson to be learned in there, but I almost feel like the resurrection and “happy ending” of it all basically destroys the power of the story and obscures the lesson at its core. The story is Jesus is a f****** tragedy. It’s an insane miscarriage of justice, and an all too relatable depiction of how horrible people in power can manipulate the legal systems to literally murder anyone who they believe is challenging the status quo. I know that I am an atheist and this point may be impossible for a sincerely religious person to connect with, but I feel like the story would be more effective and more useful to the progress of society if it just ended with Jesus’ political murder and the gross injustice of it all. That is the story we see played out again and again and again across the world and across the centuries. I wish we could learn that lesson at a deep level, but at this point it’s been sort of soiled by the magic of it all, and that just takes away what could be a much more grim, but more useful and empowering lesson about how to stand up to the power.

*takes giant step to center, forewarned for every countreyman, forever-ever*

really hoping he was going to sign it "thank you for your attention to this matter"
