Pope Leo XIV said "Trump is a test from God".

[Luckyone]

Maybe they are outraged that Trump is trying to prevent the mass illegal border crossings.

????

How does that apply to what the Pope said?

 

[Luckyone]

And to think, a convicted felon on his way to hell has ended all crime in DC.

What are the odds?

All crime?

Just show me one person in all of human history that stopped crime from occurring! For that to happen, you would need to change human nature and become an alien

 

[hadit]

What does that have anything to with anything? The Pope is not a rich man, nor does he seek money. He is there to lead us down the path of love, human rights, and forgiveness.

In simple words, he is a good man fighting evil

The pope is excoriating TRUMP! for not helping the poor enough while the Catholic Church, that he heads up, is worth billions. Now, the Church does a lot of charity work, but they couldn't replace some finery and art with lower cost things to help the poor even more? That's what he's upset about, isn't it? The US is running massive deficits and has a very large debt that the Church does not have. We have to make some hard choices or accept an inevitable and severe economic crash in which the poor are going to be hurt much more than they would be by some of these proposals.

Lefties quote Pope Leo in a political rant on a day when a maniac attacked a Catholic church and killed at least two kids? You lefties are the freaking problem.

the pope just hates trump
if the pope was really worried about the poor he would sell off all of his churches silver, gold, jewels and land and give the money to the poor

 

[luiza]

Unbalanced Mucky now so desperate that he tries to use a Jesuit Pope as his ally to repeat the same old boring accusations that he peddles every day .

Our Un-american Troll Bot is dispirited because he sees the tide has turned and he knows deep down that his accusations are laughable .

The Commander is Commanding .

But here it is not so much a Mucky Bum -- more a Mucky Mind .

You cannot say that at all. The Pope is a man of God and men of God (especially those voted in as Popes) do not believe in Hate.

Trump is throwing away Christian values and the Pope is simply outlining that fact.

My gawd, you really are in Trump's ass and loving it, aren't you?

 

[Votto]

All I want is for Trump to be ousted so he can no longer use his position to hurt, abuse, and destroy (all against God's teachings) Americans.

I am not a person that seeks revenge but I do believe in God's teachings and I do believe in Justice and Trump is destroying all of that.

Trump's Karma will be his downfall.

Again, what teachings exactly?

What policies?

“Trump is a Test from God” – Pope Leo XIV's Words Stun the World!​

and

Donald Trump Vs. Pope Leo XIV: A Tale of Two Americans​

Trump: At odds with Christian values

The Trump administration’s budget is not merely a collection of fiscal policy decisions. It is a statement of national priorities. By targeting the most vulnerable — children, the elderly, the sick and the working poor — this law stands in opposition to all the values Pope Leo XIV champions.

He has repeatedly insisted that “helping the poor is a matter of justice before it is a question of charity.” For the Pope, indifference to the suffering of the marginalized is not just a policy failure — it is a moral one.

In words that Donald Trump would never understand, Leo has stated that “no one is exempted from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and immigrants alike”.

Bottom line is that Pope Leo XIV (an American) is against what Trump is doing. In the video below (as well as on the link above), the Pope says all of this in a "Centrist" way that is not straight up condemnation but is far from saying that Trump is not guilty of going against what God and the Cristian faith teaches us about what we all should be...........for the human rights that each and every one has from the moment we were born whether we are rich and talented or poor and ignorant.

That Trump is acting in a Diabolical way!

This is one more statement from someone who is not a biased person (a man of God), that Trump is taking us down the road to hell.

Can we send all illegal aliens to the Vatican? I'm sure the pope will take care of all of the millions he would receive.

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. The Catholics where I am one, vote differently more than half of the Catholics, voted for Trump, less than half of the remaining Catholic people voted for Harris, showing a great division amongst Cathoilcs in America, one side of the Catholics is wrong, while one side seems justified which side shakes out as the JUSTIFIED?
2. Trump or Harris?
3. One side wants to protect America, one side does nothing to protect America.
4. One side wants to end abortions, one side wants to have an abortion up till right before the babies delivered.
5. One side wants to tell the truth, while one side wants to tear down the truth, like it never happened.
6. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me, The Pope is wrong, should just stay in Italy, and hide behind his hundreds of years old wall.

[Leo123]

Imagine how he feels, watching the religion to which he has dedicated his life, sell its soul to a grotesque thug who is essentially the opposite of the Jesus he worships.

A lot of actual Christians are going through that right now.

You're living a fantasy in your own mind spun by your TDS.

That's budget. The US is running deficits of trillions of dollars, but it's worth many more trillions. That does not reflect the staggering worth of the Church's wealth, which is estimated at $2.5 TRILLION. The bottom line remains, the Church has a lot of wealth stashed away that it could be using for charity work, so the pope complaining about the US trying to gain some fiscal discipline sounds a bit hypocritical.

Top 10 Richest Churches in the World 2025: Their Billion-Dollar Empires Revealed

When we think of churches, we often imagine places of worship, prayer, and community. But some churches are more than just spiritual homes for millions of people. Some of the richest churches in the world have built massive wealth over many years, amassing billion-dollar empires. These churches use their wealth to fund missionary work, support social causes, and maintain vast networks of properties, businesses, and investments.

In this article, we’ll dive deep into the Top 10 Richest Churches in the World in 2025. We’ll explore how these churches built their massive empires and what makes them stand out in terms of wealth. From the Catholic Church’s global influence to the business ventures of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, these churches have made significant strides in growing their financial empires while also fulfilling their spiritual missions.

1. The Catholic Church​

• Net Worth (2025): $2.5 Trillion

The Catholic Church stands as the largest and richest religious institution in the world. With an estimated worth of $2.5 trillion, the church's wealth comes from its huge network of properties, investments, and businesses spread across the globe. While it is based in Vatican City, the church operates in almost every country in the world. The wealth of the Catholic Church is not just in tithes and donations but also in real estate holdings, investments, and even art collections.

The Vatican itself holds priceless treasures, including rare artworks, manuscripts, and historical artifacts. The Catholic Church’s investment arm, known as the Vatican Bank, also manages billions of dollars in assets. Furthermore, the Catholic Church runs hospitals, schools, and other institutions that contribute to its wealth.

Wow, what a statement.

So you are saying that Trump knows more and is a better person than God?

Key word in your reply is "institution". The Pope is not there to be told by the Catholic institution what to do, but to relay the words of God, which has no reference to money.

The fact the Church has all that money is because it was donated to them and they in turn invested well so that the Church is funded well, in order to do what the Catholic Church does, which is help people.

Here is the official definition

AI Overview

Church funds typically support the church's operations, staff, and facilities, along with programs for members and the wider community, such as missionary efforts, humanitarian aid, and education. Specific uses vary by denomination, but common expenses include paying staff salaries, maintaining buildings like meetinghouses and temples, funding local and international missions, managing educational institutions, providing humanitarian assistance, and supporting other community programs.

Where do the funds made by the Trump administration go?
