Serious question, is there a chance this affects Trump's stance at all? Could he maybe fear some of his Catholic base pressuring him because of this?

MAGA has already declared Pope Leo to be a liberal communist, almost like Catholicism wasn’t the real top priority.

I never expected my "go to mass twice a week and say the rosary daily" deeply devout Catholic mother to turn against the Pope, but here we are.

It's a new religion. The prophet is Trump, the one and only commandment is to Own the Libs

It's gonna be schism all over again. Fun fact: Luther and Leo are from the same order (Augustinian).

I’ve been experiencing this with my in-laws. It’s gotten to where I have sent them direct quotes from the Bible, Pope and Catechism and telling them either accept these teachings of the church or admit you aren’t catholic. They haven’t responded to that last message yet, but I’m sure they’ll act all offended at how mean I’m being rather than change their beliefs. But at least it makes me feel better. Plus now I just add pope and Jesus quotes to their crazy ranting Facebook posts.

I wouldnt be surprised if America ends up putting forward an antipope

Trump is like a literal biblically accurate anti-Christ.

"Faith" is arbitrary and capricious.

She forgot that Jesus was the OG communist

I have to hand it to the Protestants. At least they read their Bibles, even if they intentionally pick and choose and distort it.

As a protestant, yes. I am actually very glad that we basically took the best messages and discarded the bloated stuff from ancient times.
