  1. >Pope Francis sent a message on Tuesday to clear up Vance’s comments. Without mentioning the vice president by name, he attacked Vance’s entire logic for the Trump administration’s cruel policies.

    >“Christians know very well that it is only by affirming the infinite dignity of all that our own identity as persons and as communities reaches its maturity. Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups. In other words: The human person is not a mere individual, relatively expansive, with some philanthropic feelings! The human person is a subject with dignity who, through the constitutive relationship with all, especially with the poorest, can gradually mature in his identity and vocation,” Pope Francis wrote (emphasis added). “The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the ‘Good Samaritan’ (cf. Lk 10:25-37), that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.”

  3. Christian nationalists would be the ones to crucify Jesus if given the chance

  5. It should be noted that Sodom wasn’t destroyed because of “sins of the flesh” but because they did take care of foreigners in need…

  6. I wonder what he thinks of Pete Hegseth every time he (Pete) “gives glory to god”? He does it constantly!

  7. Isn’t all Christianity or at least the stories in the Bibie pretty much fake?

  9. Well thank Satan someone like the Catholic Church has such a moral high ground…. I’m sure they have t done anything wrong in like the last week. 😑😬🙄

  10. Way to go, Pope. Not that it’ll make any difference here, but we appreciate you chiming in if for no other reason than to tell JD he’s a hypocrite. LOL

  11. Let’s face it they only speak of Christ as a marketing tool. There isn’t anything about this administration or its polices that embodies the teachings of Christ. Throw them a bone if using parochial schools and a White House office of faith and pretend you give a fuck. Most religions gasping for survival.

  12. Obviously the pope is misinformed. He should offer more thoughts and prayers.

  13. Well it doesn’t matter to Retrumplicans bc they aren’t real Christians. They just use God as an excuse to hate, judge, and control people they don’t understand. They cherry pick Bible verses fit whatever their narrative is at the time. They don’t actually practice what they preach. They have 0 compassion, empathy or love for thy neighbor. The cruelest people I’ve ever met were maga “christians”

  14. I mean, anyone with a working brain already knew Vance worships no god until its politically convenient

  15. I know JD is hiding in a couch right now crying 😭 the fkn Pope just called you out that’s gotta be the most embarrassing thing EVER in life the Ultimate holy roast get em pope!! 😂😂😂😂

  16. Can we slam the Catholic Church for all of their crimes against humanity too, since they want to call the kettle black?

  17. The pope’s version of Catholicism is fake and evil.

  18. Can’t he excommunicate them? (Please don’t @ me for my general lack of knowledge of Catholicism).

  19. Well unfortunately for the actual Pope, Trump is America’s Pope and they believe he’s working with God’s divine judgment.

  20. Yo popey you might want to look at Trump mike his son and yes all the rest of the Republican Party. And no the democrats aren’t without sin they’re just smart enough to not pretend to be religious.

  21. Trump is gonna give the Pope a name isn’t he? Sad part is is that devout Roman Catholics will side with Trump over the Pope in a heartbeat

  26. They wouldn’t recognize Christ if he knocked on their church doors Sunday morning. They would absolutely call ICE and have him deported. Zero doubt in my mind.

  27. Good. Pope needs to rein in the false narrative many Catholics are spreading in the US. It’s not Catholism it’s evangelical/national Christianity and is not anything about the Catholic beliefs.

    Bishops and Cardinals are more than happy to ignore it or support it if it supports their political aspirations.

  28. MAGA high jacked the American flag. They want to high jack Christianity as well.

  30. I protested the Pope’s visit to my country (Ireland) in 2018, so I’m feeling conflicted about agreeing with him. That being said, MAGA Christianity/Christian Nationalism seems pretty far away from any recognisable form of Christianity. They even disparage Jesus for doing things like healing the sick.

  31. So what, Christian Nationalists don’t care. They’re modern day Pharisees.

  32. Back in the day Russell Vought would find himself in an Inquisition bonfire

  33. The weirdest thing about religious right is the joy they take in evil.

    What are they talking about in churches? Kicking puppies? Taking medicine away from little girls? Stoning people from out of town? I don’t get it. How are they going to sermons every Sunday (if any of them are) and coming away with this shit.

  34. It’s all a grift, as fake as their faith…it’s all about power, F*** them!
