I didn't realize the Catholic Church was working

[leftyladyfrommo]

on a globalist takeover. Per Crazy Jones.

I wonder how the Opus Dei Catholics on the Supreme Court feel about Pope Leo XIV?

I loved Francis and I think I will love this one, too.

1. The criminals taking over the U.S. aren't going be able to get at this pope

That's making them very upset.

[anamnua]

2. I hope not

Remember he has family in Chicago.

4. The Vatican perfected ultimate power a long time ago.

I would not bet against the Vatican. I would not try to bully or coerce the Vatican.

I am somewhat surprised by this choice of pope. It's given me more hope than I've felt in a long time. Talk about fighting fire with fire.

5. Same for me - about the choice and the hope

I realized after Pope Francis died how much I admired him and how he made me feel about the church the way I did as a child in the 70s

3. shithole musk republicans want to take over the world..............

with their fucked up ideology.

Right now the USA government RWers are evil bullies which from what I see is turning the world against the USA.

The world is coming together and the USA move closer to isolation.

6. The Pope did vote republican in some primaries about 10 years ago. they could see this as a win. In fact

I expect trump to boast about the Pope being a republican.

10. This is just a guess

but, he may have voted in their primary in a "lesser of two evils" type of situation, especially 2016. They said he hasn't voted in anny of the recent general elections.

7. His selection introduces a new dimension to the role of xtian nationalists in the takeover of US

Now we have the talebangelicals, Opus Dei, and social liberation Catholics in the mix. This is a very good development, IMO.

I always felt that the best counterweight to the xtian supremacists would be the true moral religionists, such as James Talerico, and Pope Leo.

May the new pope live a long and productive life.

8. Like every other religion the Catholic Church would welcome

a theocracy where they rule.

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. I don't think that's true. Most mainline

Protestant Churches are not like the evangelicals.

I know a lot of Catholics and they are all over the place politically. Same when I lived in Salt Lake. Some staunch idealists and a lot of people who belong to the Church because their whole family does.

9. "Papist" will replace "woke" as a MAGA insult.
