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

Since
Economics is a mystery to me (much tougher than Calculus and Physics)

Economics is only a mystery because, unlike mathematics, you have to factor in fashionable ideas, and human irrationality.

There are still respected economic schools and experts who maintain that ideas like "Labor Theory of Value" are valid in predicting the economy.

so true-----i like nice concrete non variable variables

 

[Foolardi]

uhm----I have to discuss it anyway (like it or not) IMO---there is no question that Trump has
accomplished lots of good. HOWEVER he has a tendency to SPEAK IMMODERATELY. Since
Economics is a mystery to me (much tougher than Calculus and Physics) I cannot comment on the
long term effects of his tariffs----he massive LAYOFFS worry me----moderately.----BUT "TEST BY GOD" --
that comment, IMHO, tops all of the unfortunate verbalizations by Trump PUT TOGETHER

Keep in mind what Black Persecuted Novelist
- Notes of a Native Son - James Baldwin had to
surmise.
- Nobody Knows My Name - { 1961 }
" Freedom is not something that anybody can be given,
freedom is something people take. "
Baldwin being considered a " Sissy " and after working to
to support his family members,fled to Paris to study and live.

Not leftist frauds like Paul Krugman who was on MSNBC a week ago.

 

[Luckyone]

I should care about what some dope called the Pope say why exactly/

Ever thought of the fact that 62% of all Americans are Christian?

 

[Luckyone]

You'll get over it

Get over what? Getting over having a guideline that I follow that is based on God's teachings? That will never happen because our souls live more than one life, and we are all going to be judged in the end and our souls end up finally in Hell or Heaven.

Evidently, you are not a believer, are you?

Your problem. You will never "get over it". I feel sorry for you!

“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.

The Pope should stick to his business..... the Church.

 

[Polishprince]

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.

President Trump isn't a member of the Catholic faith, and never has been.

How does Trump's platform of Peace and Prosperity affect Leo's faith at all one way or another, regardless of how much Leo might disagree with the idea of world peace.

Chriostains don't believe that somehow an imagined god sudden;y made a human infallible.

Love, forgiving, understanding and fighting evil.

????

I have always stated that as fact (humans are fallible). Then again, some are worse that others, especially those that do more harm than good and never learn from their mistakes (Trump for example).

What is YOUR point?

 

[Paradoxical#1]

Love, forgiving, understanding and fighting evil.

While those are admirable things, do you personally need to believe some God said those things, or you would hate people, never forgive those who apologized and would let evil continue?

62% of all Americans are Christians and attending to the Church means pointing out those that break the ten commandments. He does that as part of his JOB!

Trump is breaking most of the ten commandments and will "continue to do so". Why would the Pope not do something about it?

"do' something about what.? In what way does Trump violate the ten commandments in a manner in which the church is NOT GUILTY?

What a ridiculous answer. The difference between the inquisition and what the Pope is doing now are like oil and water. They don't go together.

During the Inquisition, various Catholic-backed judicial bodies used procedures to investigate and prosecute individuals for heresy, apostasy, witchcraft, and other offenses against Catholic doctrine, employing methods such as torture and public ceremonies called auto-da-fés to extract confessions and enforce conformity.

The Pope is not prosecuting Trump, and he is not employing methods such as torture. All he is doing it pointing out what Trump is doing against God's teaching so that we all can make our own decisions whether to follow Trump or close him out of our minds and hearts.

If you cannot see what is wrong, there are no words that I can say that will make you see what is wrong.

For that to happen, you are the one that has to have the guidelines in your heart and mind that God taught. Evidently you are not a believer. What you believe in is that lying, cheating on your spouse, taking advantage of those who cannot defend themselves, degrading anyone that does not agree with you, and not caring about the welfare of others that disagree with you is a proper way of being.

You are certainly not a person I would ever want to consider as someone I want to know or have in my life as even an acquaintance.

silly answer----even today----a NEGATIVE REVIEW by a pope has serious consequences upon any
politician in the world ----btw---you really did underplay the INQUISTION----it danced on the dead
bodies of millions for your very reason-----"violation of "god's" teachings
