Pope Leo's Christmas Message to MAGA 'Christians'

is simply this: denying help to the poor is rejecting God.

But Trump's 'Christians' don't want to hear this because they reject the words of a "woke" Pope, and some have even rejected Christ himself, whose birth they claim to celebrate on this day, some calling His words and teachings "too woke."

No, their dogged worship going instead to their own 'chosen one.' The one who, they hold, was sent by God to set things right.

The 'chosen' one who divides and demonizes via hateful discourse. Who denigrates whole peoples and communities based upon their race, country of origin, or colour of skin.

The one who destroys careers, engages in hate driven policymaking, terrorizes political opponents and whole communities under cover of his fraudulent and fictitious rancor.

The one who separates loved ones from their families, parades children though streets in zip ties, pulls workers from fields and rooftops, abducts and sends people with no criminal history to foreign torture camps under unknown charges, and with no due process.

The one who undermines healthcare for millions, ends USAID for millions MORE children worldwide, then destroys food already earmarked for distribution.

The MAGA "prince of peace" -

who talks of seizing sovereign territories, engages in piracy, even murder on the high seas, who threatens allies, makes war under false pretenses, then expects a PRIZE for doing so.

All of the above and more, while his heretic devotees ignore, support, defend, applaud and even revel in the cruelty and mayhem.

... my two cents. Anyway, Merry Christmas.

('and on Earth, peace to men of good will.')

A far more celestial piece, I think, that essentially says we all have choices as to which path(s) we follow.

What the magats (and indeed most fundies) are banging on about would be considered a heresy and we all know what happened to heretics in those days.

Maybe if we made the tag heretic go viral - do you think they'd get the message?
