Zone1 Pope Leo calls for peace, gives Putin a pass and criticizes Trump. That is politics, not a call for peace.

[HikerGuy83]

The Pope spoke with Putin and urged peace. He's trying to be diplomatic.

Did he attack Putin in a prayer?

Lincoln is blamed for disrupting a racial hierarchy. John Wilkes Booth, for example, saw Lincoln as a tyrant specifically for pushing to grant voting rights to Black people, which was viewed as a threat to white domination.

Was Lincoln a Tyrant?

Contrary to his critics, and despite greatly expanding executive powers, the president was pragmatic and respectful of individual liberties.

No. It's YOUR avatar. An avatar is a digital image, icon, or persona representing a user in virtual spaces like games or social media. Originating from Sanskrit, it traditionally means the "descent" or incarnation of a Hindu deity (e.g., Vishnu) on earth. It also refers to a personification, embodiment, or manifestation of a concept.

You have chosen a white supremacist to represent you.

Following the lead of his predecessor, Pope Leo is another Liberal Pontiff who slams Trump with his "delusion of omnipotence" statement. Yet the Pope of Peace seems to ignore the one million Russians and Ukrainians who have died in Putin's completely insane and baseless war. He has also slammed President Trump's illegal immigration actions as "inhuman".

It is very sad that such a powerful man who COULD take a true stance for world peace chooses to be just another Trump basher.

Trump says he won't apologize to Pope Leo and explains his reason for posting much-criticized meme

President Donald Trump is refusing to apologize to Pope Leo XIV after criticizing the pontiff's opposition to the war in Iran.

Hey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he'd present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem? Well...check out your boy now! Listen, if the felonies, epstein files, rapes, bombing of schoolchildren, gestapo ICE agents attacking his own citizens, threatening to invade Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran all didn't convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil' post will? How can any so called Christian support him after this blasphemy? How could any Catholic support him after he attacks the character of their Pope multiple times? How did so many millions of people fall for this conman? He's already got worst President in the history of America on lock, but I'm gonna go ahead and take the honor of pronouncing trump "Worst American of All Time." P.S.: after some backlash (looks like SOME christians actually take their own religion seriously) trump is now saying that this AI image depicts him as a doctor for the Red Cross! He lies, then lies about the lie, then doubles down on that lie with another lie and they Just. Keep. Falling. For. It.

No, you just think you did. Thats the narcissism showing.
You dont value liberty. You dont know how liberty minded people think or feel. You couldnt understand it.
Only white supremacists? Do you think lincoln understood then? hahaha

Of course, neither Putin nor Trump was mentioned. And everything the Pope said can apply to either.

The OP dipshit didnt even listen to the speech. He is mindlessly parroting what some paid idiot said.

The MAGA freaks aren't happy unless they are throwing a Grade A tantrum about something. Usually it's something that doesn't exist.

My points: Pope Leo was inaccurately quoted--and out of context. Second, President Trump seemed to be responding to inaccurate reports about what the Pope, the Vatican supposedly said. Go back to when this all started, and what you will see are reporters trying to rile both the Trump Administration and the Vatican--pit them against each other for the reporters/medias own purposes. Then both President Trump and Pope Leo are fed he said/he said these out-of-context, inaccurate contexts/narratives to which they responded. Both should know better.

The Vatican learned the hard way their only proper response is "world peace" and "talk it out". From this, President Trump is told, The Pope is against the war and therefore against you and all you are doing! And so triumphant reporters have the story they want: The Pope and the President of the United States are at odds. Democrats have their "backing": Pope Leo is against having a war with Iran! Impeach President Trump!

While the William Randolph Hearst quote of, "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war" is likely an exaggeration, yellow journalism has always been a reality. The first question we were asked in an early journalism class was, "What is the primary purpose of the news media?" Although there were several very good responses, we were told the correct one: The news media's primary purpose is to make money. Which led into the discussion of Randolph's suppose statement and yellow journalism. The first thing we learned as students is not to trust the media. Go to the primary source of what had been precisely meant and that original context. The media will--and does--twist things to attract readers--and the truth and its common sense isn't much of an attraction. No attraction, no readers, no money. So how about a little twist...

Where you and I likely agree is that popes and the Vatican need to keep their distance from national politics. The Pope, in the way of Jesus, needs to talk to directly to people and the lives of people--not to their nations.

Nonsense. When the world has a leader like Trump who's starting wars in South America and the Middle East and god knows where else next, that's exactly when a Pope needs to speak out. When did the Pope finally speak out about Hitler? I bet it was too late.

You missed the context of that particular post. Did you read the whole of what Pope Leo said, and how he phrased it?

If not, then to catch you up, I am not pleased with either man. Many of the teens I work with could have done better in the place of both men. Hence, my disappointment.

Nope. Leo was right on the money. This is so typical of MAGA people. The best you can ever get them to admit is "both sides" suck. Nope. Sorry. You are siding with MAGA over your GOD. And I love to see it. Glad you voted for him. And even more happy he's taking money away from the Catholic Church. Bout time someone did that.

I'm just so happy right now that Republicans are at war with the Catholic Church and I'm seeing you all siding with Trump. Wonderful!!

First, I voted for President Trump? News to me. I side with MAGA? Also news to me. Not contributing money is not the same as taking money away. If you think that it is, then no wonder you missed all that I said about Pope Leo and President Trump.

Anything else you want to tell me about myself? I'll try to take it seriously instead of giggling the next time....

This reminds me of the poem, at first they came for the gays. I didn't say anything because I wasn't gay. Then they came for the trade unions. I didn't say anything because I wasn't in a trade union.

When I say YOU I mean you people. I'm lumping you all together just like you do blacks or mexicans or any other groups. Arabs. Jews. YOU Catholics.

A majority of U.S. Catholic voters supported Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential victory.

And now you see you either agree with him or you can F off. How you like him now?

It tells me your judgement is off. If you could be so wrong about Trump, what else are you all wrong about? Have you even admitted you should have voted for Kamala yet? Are Republicans going to keep seats in the House and Senate? If they do, then you Catholics did this to yourselves.

Now I see how Hitler got one over on all the German Catholics. They aren't that bright.
