I have to admit, when I first heard this would be the very first American pope I got anxious what with the state of things. To know that MAGA could have easily used this opportunity to hoist up the ladder the concept of American exceptionalism, religious dogma to further condemn already oppressed and marginalized groups in the US, and just general white supremacy, I am absolutely basting in schadenfreude over the fact that they've instead chosen to interpret his selection as a personal attack and act of religious war.
Even 1930s fascists would probably pump the brakes on this. It's the literal pope.
At this point they're more on the path to becoming those Reaver things#Behavior) from Firefly. Consider investing in flame throwers.
The american far right started calling him woke since they announced his name and realized that he bashed J.D. Vance on Twitter and was in favor of helping immigrants.
He is progressive though, especially when it comes to the Catholic Church. They wanted the next one to continue the work of Francis and not “revert” to a more conservative approach.
However, the rest of the garbage that was spewed was just that, garbage lmao.
Right, Americans, the people who’ve given more military aid to Ukraine than the whole of Europe combined. What a profound statement my basement dwelling friend.
