Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope ‘is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,’ adding that it’s ‘GROSS’ that he now leads the Catholic Church
It didn’t take long for right-wing media figures and MAGA provocateurs to cry out in rage over the election of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV after it was revealed that he’d publicly criticized JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd.
Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.
Even before the “dark horse” American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevost’s views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.
These cunts are a waste of carbon.

Totallyyy not a cult.
/s
Whatever is a “poor choice” for the MAGA movement is a great choice in my book. Even if it’s about a religious figure.
He completely ignored sexual assaults.
Sounds like the Catholic Church, alright. But I’m pretty sure the MAGA crowd doesn’t give a shit about that.
Hmm, someone call maga a waaaaahmbulance, it’s nappy time.
As a liberal leftist or whatever they would call me… Yeah f** the pope and the church. Let’s join together unified against a common evil.
You’d join hands with fascists against a pope put in place to oppose it?
Id work together with fellow humans to take down the world’s biggest evil. See Stephen fry vs the church. I’m actually shocked people defend the pope and church, wild times.
There’s a word for that. It’s called collaboration.
I don’t care what you want to do, working with fascists is the stupidest way to do it.
Part of the root of that fascism is the church… So cutting out religion would in turn help dismantle the core of the issue. So you mean to tell me you wouldn’t do that at any cost? stupid you say?
having them help us do it would be the cherry on top if you ask me.
Yes. Literally brain dead.
When you collaborate with fascists, it always goes one way. They use you, then they turn on you. Every single time.
They must always be the victims. There must always be new enemies. If you join hands with fascists, you’re just empowering them and volunteering yourself as the next enemy
What do you think this would even look like? They like the trappings of Christianity. They’re not going to give up religion. They’re just going to pick or create a more convenient hate-filled flavor and try to make it the national religion
One day you’ll be able to out think them.

GOOD! that means he was the right choice…
This is PR to try and make the new pope attractive to young and leftist people. He’s nothing new or progressive, he’s a pedo enabler who told his priests to reject the law and avoid speaking to police investigating his clergy’s child abuses. He’s garbage, just like the rest of them
That’s part for the course for the Catholics. For them their dogma is over the law. You gotta take what you can from these guys.
A pedo enabler who happens to advocate for the poor is still not good, but also not as bad as a fascist-enabler, pro-rich, pedo enabler.It’s funny how if I get in a minor collision or if I get my house inspected everyone’s quick to “It’s totally gone, have to start over, here’s a cheque”. If we can all see that an aging corporation is rotten to the core the money just pours in.
You think thats bad? You should read what their so called messiahs policies were.
You got a link? Things that upsets these sad acts is like porn to me.
It is surprisingly difficult to find a link to just the four Gospels from the Bible and not articles like “The four Gospels Explained”
I would use like a king james link if sending a link to religious folks but my prefered bible is the good ole sab. Mathew 5 starts the sermon on the mount which is a good place to start. https://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/mt/5.html
When you start calling every leader of the Catholic Church a Marxist, you’ve seriously lost the plot. The American right is ridiculous.
They should cut to the chase and call Jesus a Marxist.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40
Why would they? They already rewrote him to what they want: white, blond, freedom, and capitalism something or other.
Ah yes, supply side Jesus

I always see excuses from them like “that should be the role of charity” “that should be people’s choice, not forced on them by the government” etc…
It’s always sad/funny to me that they are ok with forcing the bad parts of their faith on us via the government, but reject the good parts that most non theists would support
Yeah, it was Ohio Catholics (and their momey) that put JD Vance in the running for VP in the first place. People are putting a lot of faith that this Cardinal wrote his own tweets. I wouldn’t be opposed to an anti-Trump pope but to call him one is counting chickens before they hatch. Let’s see what he does when Trump puts some pressure on him.
Popes choose their own name. Pope Leo seems to have been a specific selection.
St. Leo the Great was a Roman Catholic Pope who reigned from 440 to 461. He is remembered for his strong defense of papal authority, his theological writings on Christ’s humanity and divinity, and his role in meeting with Attila the Hun and the Vandals to prevent them from destroying Rome.
Did he specify already that he chose to name himself after St. Leo the Great? I’m probably out of the loop, I thought we were still guessing which one of the previous 13 popes Leos he’s named after.
The only other noteworthy Pope Leos were X, who was a patron of the arts, and XIII, who was a large supporter of the working class. The latter is also a possible influence given what he had done during his missionary work in Peru.
Peter thiel was the true power behind JD
Opus Dei is
…wouldn’t be opposed to an anti-Trump pope
Dude that’s the only kind of Pope I can get behind.
By the time they’re Pope, they’re too old to be a choir boy.
I mean, this pope is still all about protecting priests who got behind small children.
Better you behind the Pope than…
I mean they are the original globalists and Jesus was literally a communist so…. I don’t know, they might be right. The church just doesn’t like to telegraph it too much.
Conservatives also hate that God’s a woke liberal, too.
Imagine being more conservative than the Catholic Church.
Woke Marxist Pope? Well shit, I just might start going to church again
Same here lol
MAGA would melt down no matter who they picked because everything maga is doing right now is the opposite of what Jesus would do, and whoever is the pope is going to criticize maga for being terrible humans.
They would probably be alright if they had picked Trump as pope.
Pope 1: MAGA Bad!
Pope 2: MAGA Bad!
Highly Religious MAGA: Pope Bad!
Gotta love it.
New Pope Robert Francis Prevost, the Pedophile Protector!
Yeah, great choice…

He’ll fit right into the roster.
Fuck the motherfucking pope. And if you’re more offended by that than by the scumbag popes that cover for kiddy-fuckers, then fuck you too.
Thank god for Tim Minchin.
You’d have thought that would win him some points with MAGA
i doubt these inbreds even know who marxist is, or read of his writings.
“who marxist is”
Is it safe to assume you meant: The author of Das Kapital, and The Communist Manifest, Karl Marx is?
Basic human empathy = marxist
