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

[Paradoxical#1]

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.

Sounds like you are OK with the Inquisition.

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.

Who are you to make that pronouncement? Just an angry loser that has to blame others for his own failures…

 

[MarcATL]

The Pope is right, and America is failing spectacularly.

 

[j-mac]

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 has his job, POTUS has his, and your disingenuous rant won’t change that non believer.,

well-----he could EXCOMMUNICATE trump-----sorta. Make up for the fact that Pius did not
excommunicate the catholic in good standing ADOLF HITLER

the pope is right about what?

Your answer sounds like you are stupid

The fact that America is being tested by Trump.

Sorry bout that,

1. I think you calling some one stupids rich, you haven't even exposed yourself as wise, much less relevant.
2. Too think your wisdom is to call out others as stupid, seems rather judgmental and egregious to do so, could be that person is just ill informed, he may believe what he saying is true, and you need to use wisdom to calculate your response.

I believe you are right, given that even AI agrees with you!

How do you respectfully call someone stupid?

AI Overview

Instead of calling someone "stupid", you could use less offensive words like dull, foolish, ignorant, or unintelligent. For more informal contexts, you might use words like silly, simple, or airheaded, while more antiquated or literary options include addlepated, anserine, or blinkard. However, a truly nice way to handle the situation is to avoid personal insults altogether by focusing on specific actions or ideas rather than the person's perceived intelligence.

I guess we can all learn new lessons even when old and full of life's experiences.

I will make sure that next time, I will use the words dull, foolish, ignorant or unintelligent (rather than stupid)!

Your post sounded stupid, as if the people were sinners because they were non-believers and deserved their Catholic punishment.

meaning that only Christians should believe that lying, cheating on your spouse, taking advantage of others than can't help themselves, and degrading people is wrong?

That being a non-believer makes those things correct?

Ever hear of human rights? They are not based on religion, are they?

The fact that America is being tested by Trump.

how fascinating----what is the nature of the "TEST"??

 

[Luckyone]

how fascinating----what is the nature of the "TEST"??

here is my answer that I just created to give you a clue as to what this is about:

Trump being president
Has been a true revelation
That bad things can happen
When ignorance exists

Waking up mornings
Listening to hate speech
Makes the day’s outlook
Full of despair

Going to the workplace
Fearing to openly talk
Is a nightmare that’s present
Every day of the year

Why should we suffer
The desire of others
That want to impose
Their will on us all

What is the purpose
Of living our lives
If we can’t decide
Our future ourselves

Trump is a curse
That God has imposed
On all of those present
That need to be taught

That life is God’s gift
To those of the faith
That follow the guidelines
He set for us all.

try again----if you imagine that THAT which you describe is NEW----you have either
been living under a rock for the past 2500 years OR you are of the PRIVILEDGED CASTE.
Life is "GOD"S GIFT" to whom? You seem to me to be a WASP---(white anglo saxon protestant)
for whom the GUIDELINES you and yours determined apply.
Interestingly----Trump is just about as close as anyone in the USA to "WASP"----but he knows
better

Did those "sinners" then deserve what the priests gave them (in the name of YOUR God) during the Catholic Inquisitions?

I am not of the Church. I am of the Christian faith. The church is full of humans that are fallible and make mistakes. I do not condone that.

I quoted the Pope not because he is a Catholic leader but because he was quoting the teachings of God. I follow those. I do not follow the Church's guidelines as they are based on Humans making decisions.

I am fascinated. What teachings of "GAWD" did he transmit to you? In my view he left out
some very important issues to the point of disqualifying himself

Those teachings that you are talking about have been transmitted to me throughout my life by the problems and ills that I have had to face and learn from.

My guidelines were not GIVEN to be by any human being (not the Catholics or by any person, or by God himself) but through experiences that taught me what is right and wrong.

They are my own guidelines (built by me), but that do match what God's teachings are all about. Simply stated as an example, helping others has helped me more than not doing it. Giving love first is what allowed me to find love being given back to me in the same way. I did not know that when young. I learned that by the mistakes I made in life. Being bullied as a teen and not doing anything about it, made me realize I had to learn to fight back but not be a bully myself.

It really is that simple and it should answer your question. I was not given the guidelines by anyone (or any imaginary power), experiences taught them to me.

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

Why do people hate the poor? They have zero negative effects on a nation. They dont make the rules nor do they hurt an economy.
