diverareyouokay Mar 31, 2026 +17

Technically Trump’s spiritual advisor didn’t say that the money should be donated to Israel, she said that it should be donated to *her ministry*, and that *she* would then donate to Israel. How much of that 10% would get donated is anybody’s guess, but something tells me that just like her spiritual advisee, she would be skimming a substantial portion off the top… probably along the lines of 9.9999999999999%, give or take a few digits.

He can certainly be vocal about it. I do believe that there are non-Catholics out there who do care what the Pope says. However, this brand of Christianity has been bat shit insane for a while now and has completely lost the plot. They don't give a f***.

Ambrose Bierce: 'Ours is a Christian Army'; so he said A regiment of bangomen who led. 'And ours a Christian Navy,' added he Who sailed a thunder-junk upon the sea.

It really is f****** crazy that the MAGA cult would send money to anyone other than Trump and his current orbit of leeches I fully expected them to have some kind of MIGA fund where the donations are siphoned through Trump’s cons away from real donations to Israel, which is way more in character for these guys

It’s not really MAGA, it’s Protestantism. This is what happens when you don’t have an overarching church telling you what you believe and don’t believe, that god you have that private, personal relationship with in your head starts telling you exactly what you want to hear!

Christianity is not famous for being sane when the dictator dictates what to believe.

ilevelconcrete Mar 31, 2026 +6

I don’t think it was particularly “sane”, but the belief system is much more consistent when that church is also responsible for deciding the biblical canon that describes the life and teachings of its supposed savior.

bb_kelly77 Mar 31, 2026 +2

It should be Orthodox style where priests don't have authority, they're just guides and teachers (and also have a council instead of a single leader)

That’s already how large swathes of Protestantism operate.

bb_kelly77 Mar 31, 2026 +3

Yeah but also there's like a million types of Protestantism with absolutely no organizational structure, so whenever someone doesn't like what those in charge decide they just pull a King Henry and start their own church which is how Mormonism happened

Semour9 Apr 1, 2026 +1

It goes much deeper than that. It’s the late stage result of the reformation denying the popes authority. It’s why we have 100’s of different denominations now. It’s really no surprise one of them (the evangelicals) could be hijacked and used for political gain.

Actually, Christian Dominionists like Hegseth believe the Pope is evil because he prays to the Virgin Mary. They believe all Catholics are going to burn in Hell...

vulture_house Mar 31, 2026 +23

Yep! People on the outside of wider Christ worship don't fully grasp the complete hatred that Christian evangelicals have for Catholicism. Not only is there theological 'reasoning' for it, but a heavy dose of anti-latino bigotry 🤫

That makes sense. The entire administration uses religion as an excuse for any and all horrible shit. Just the term "Christian Dominionists" is paradoxical and antithetical to what Jesus preached. Do they care, or even realize how hypocritical they are? No, of course not.

9

oGsMustachio Mar 31, 2026 +3

Yeah Hegseth's spiritual advisor or whatever he is wants to ban Catholic parades. One of the many problems with Christian nationalism is theres not a lot of agreement on what brand of Christianity is the one that controls. Just how white nationalists inevitably get into fights about what Europeans are actually white or not.

At least locally it is hard for me to fathom all these "Do as Jesus would" who support killing, support the c*** ICE did to many people, support the hate. Trump is GODs chosen and this war, well not a war, is him protecting us from those evil sinful people. Like cult members they always fall in line with the leader.

\>Oh look, the holiest of people in the religion they supposedly follow has told them their evil, is anyone surprised? I wish people would learn the barest of minimums about the different denominations of Christianity before they made comments like these. The Pope is the "holiest of people" **in Roman Catholicism***, not in overall Christianity*. And Hegseth ***isn't a Catholic***. Doctrinally, he doesn't give a single wet shit about what the Pope thinks, and likely thinks the Pope is a heretic doomed to Hell. Not that I want people to think I agree with/defend Hegseth

Evangelical Protestants are not the same as Catholics. There are massive massive differences between the two and thank god for it, the Church may have its issues but Evangelicals seem to actually hate Jesus.

Standard-Constant653 Apr 1, 2026 +3

Not believing in "once saved always saved" is a huge important one, of course Catholicism can have jerks inside, but jerks tend to flock more to somewhere when they think they have a blank check after saying a magic prayer once in their lives.

PlayerAssumption77 Mar 31, 2026 +7

I'm not sure this is the line of reasoning, but I could see how one might think this is more effective because they don't get to claim "the woke Pope is targeting us" when he's saying pretty simple and unsurprising things that only offend them because they offended Jesus.

7

Sminahin Mar 31, 2026 +4

I understand the strategic maneuvering and all that. But I've also grown to completely despise that mentality over the last few years--probably after a quadrillion hours of dealing with Netanyahu defenders framing things in hypotheticals and indirect angles. After a certain point, you have to start drawing lines. They're rounding up people in concentration camps with totally unknown death tolls. There comes a point where it's offensive and telling to not just call a s**** a s****. That said, I haven't gone Catholic history/protocol book diving in like 12 years. If there are logistical/feasibility issues preventing something like this, totally get it.

bb_kelly77 Apr 1, 2026 +1

As a semi believer (since I don't follow any single denomination) and former nonbeliever I can tell you that it's your being a nonbeliever causing the perspective issue... maybe the words of the Pope are meaningless and maybe they aren't, what matters is those that believe hold value in them, and regardless he's a man with authority so everything he says holds weight

1

vulture_house Mar 31, 2026 +2

Excommunication is kind of out of vogue. In the past it has served in some cases to galvanize someone's wicked perspective and shut them out of a path towards correcting their view.

2

Yea...but we also thought 1st world Western countries rounding up people by ethnicity and throwing them in concentration camps was out of vogue too, no?

The Catholic Church operates under canon law, and Vance is free to run his mouth. When the Pope rebuked him last year, Vance was contrite and described himself as a "baby Catholic" and I doubt Vance is going to pull a Vigano and dispute the Pope's authority.

He wasn't that kind of war god... Athena is a war god and she's not bloodthirsty, not even Ares is bloodthirsty because he's a man of honor, in fact bloodthirsty war gods are quite rare

2

BeautifulBand4831 Mar 31, 2026 -1

Maybe read the bible for once bud because yahew is a deity that loves war and promotes the slaughter of innocents. So he can be considered a " war god "

-1

bb_kelly77 Mar 31, 2026 +3

Other war gods love war but not a single one goes "yes go start pointless wars and feed me blood"... he's Yahweh not Khorne... you'll notice that the wars in the Old Testament are against other Canaanites who were trying to take over Israel to expand their own power, this was like 5,000 years ago, morals were different because humanity had barely crawled out of its caves

3

BeautifulBand4831 Mar 31, 2026 -2

It's very clear you have never read the bible as their are a bunch of war stories that yahew instructs in the isrealites mythology , including pointless wars and commiting genocide . 5000 years makes no difference because these stories are proven to be fictional . It's disturbing that you're trying to defend a mythological character that's the equivalent of Hitler
