Pope Leo XIV - Almost Certainly Voted Trump in 2024. A MAGA Pope! How Cool is That?

[Mashmont]

I wouldn't be so quick to claim him if I were you. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but he has been involved in a couple sex abuse cover-up scandals. One of them had to do him allowing a priest accused of abusing 13 minors to live half a block from a school house, in a church property. And there was another scandal too.

Here are a couple links:

Blah blah. The left will say that about any priest or any pope. It's meaningless.

This isn't a left right thing. I don't think he's a conservative. I think it's safe to say he's another globalist, like the previous pope.

But this isn't about politics. You're the one making it into a political thing. Based on what I've heard so far, the allegations ring true.

Of course it's a leftwing thing and an anti-Catholic thing. Unfortunately, there are some anti-Catholic protestants like you and Votto who are joining in with the left, doing their dirty work for them. They could make such accusations against any group, especially the public schools. But they only focus on the Catholic Church and anybody associated with it. "He was a bishop. He is responsible for what every rogue priest did".

 

[postman]

He did vote in presidential elections.

If someone goes to Las Vegas every February for the last five years.

Would you conclude he traveled to see the SuperBowl, since it happened on one of his trips?

I can see this conversation is pointless. You have a tribalist mentality. There's no getting through to anyone who puts tribalism above truth, so I'm not even going to try. I'll let you get back to your thread.

 

[Mac1958]

Spin tRumpling! Spin like the wind!!

The new pope is not a fan of the current *administration or it's actions.

It's probably safe to assume that the new Pope is a serious, sincere Christian, and not a MAGA™ Christian.

If somebody registers to vote in the presidential election, it is only logical to assume they voted in the presidential election.

You aren't looking for truth. You're anti-Trump and anti-Catholic. You don't allow for anything that contradicts that.

Massive projection. That is exactly what you do in regard to your tribes and that's why you quickly dismissed anything critical of this new pope.

Proverbs 18:13 describes that mindset as a folly and a shame. Anyway, I gotta get ready to go out today, and again, it's pointless anyway to try to get through to any tribalist.

It really doesn't matter what a Pope thinks or feels on US matters. He isn't an elected official and his opinion carries no weight on US matters

 

[postman]

If somebody registers to vote in the presidential election, it is only logical to assume they voted in the presidential election.

They registered just as many times in a non-presidential election.

Blowing holes in your theory.

This difference is this pope can VOTE in US elections.

A miniscule nothing since Illinois is a blue state shit hole.

 

[Crepitus]

It's probably safe to assume that the new Pope is a serious, sincere Christian, and not a MAGA™ Christian.

One would hope, at least.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The Mashmonts will defend the Pope regardless.

 

[Mashmont]

Show us anything that would show that he is simpatico with Trump.

Prevost is a humanitarian, a fan of chastity and sexual restraint, and a fan of immigrants. To start with.

Trump is a felon, sexually rampant, and hates the poor, particularly immigrants.

To deny that is to lie.

I've already done that. Prevost voted in the 2016 and 2024 elections. No way he's voting for the pro-abort, trans pervert endorsing Hillary or Kamala. No way.

 

[Mashmont]

I haven't dismissed criticism of this pope. But I recognize the Marxist media's incessant attempts to divide people. And this most recent claim that Prevost slammed Trump and Vance is baseless, and I explained why. You don't like either Trump OR the Catholic Church, so you're ready to jump on anything that puts both in a negative light. You're the tribalist.

You just made my point beautifully. The leftwing media hasn't lifted a finger to find a quote critical of Biden by the current pope. That's why can't find it in any story. Do you really think MSN or Yahoo is going to dig for anything critical of Biden?

 

[initforme]

How he voted makes zero difference. Bottom line.

Sure and why not if it exists.

I read he was not happy about Biden's stance on abortion.

That's critical.
