The GOP is full of racists and bigots. HRC correctly said this and the US legacy media lost it and attacked her 24/7.
The same media thinks it’s ok when MAGAs attack an entire religion and its leader out in the open for (checks notes) following the teachings of Christ.
pope is relatively progressive (not as much as francis esp. on lgbtq stuff but still def on the liberal wing) and posted/retweeted some stuff that was highly critical of Trump/Vance especially on immigration
So not unlike DOGE the pope has hired a kid to run his accounts ironically called magnus balls.

Nope. The guy’s just well versed on what pure evil looks like. In his last tweet b4 the papacy he retweeted something about the horrors of the Trump/Bukele terror
"Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?"
"Is it too much to hope the new pope is secretly evil like us rather than an actual Christian who believes in being merciful to the neglected and persecuted?"
This is what baffles me. Like Francis, this new guy's tweeted opinions seem to be fairly mild statements consistent with the words of Jesus. Like a parent telling a toddler "we don't hit our friends". If that's so upsetting maybe don't claim to follow Christ. Plenty of Pagan gods are available.
Aw man, I was all ready to grumble that he was still a 69 year old religious conservative with matching opinions on women and lgbtq+ but hearing the crazy right lose their minds like he's a gen z communist makes me happy.
A bishop that spent 23 years in Peru having empathy with catholics from Latin America? What is this? A church that tries to care for its people and speaks up when the powerful abuse their power?
Ya just never know when a magat conversation is going to make you choke laugh til your eyes water & your nose runs....
I think they don't even try hard to be so desperately stupid
Serious question, is anybody attempting to keep count of the people the Trump NIMBYs are killing, directly or indirectly? I realize the inquiry might go off in a dozen directions at once, but somebody should be keeping score.
Damn, 'Christians' hate being told to care about poor people. I wonder what they would have to say about Jesus Christ if he had that message... wait...
This reads like the AOC derangement to me. He's so close to what they are in certain ways (American, boomerish, professing Xtian) but untouchable where it matters, and like AOC being a working-class American who ascended with no one's help to Congress, it galls them in an immediate way.
I know nothing about the guy and don’t expect the Catholic Church to suddenly become woke, though it’d be great if that happened, but I’m loving that all these phony-ass conservatives are upset
Also, by American Catholic standards...he's focused on what matters. The poor and immigrants. American Catholics are more conservative than the average, and in need of a Pope who can call them out.
All I'm saying is, he doesn't need to be ideal, he needs to be going in the right direction.
His opinions about my sex life, as a gay trans man who isn’t Catholic, has no impact on me personally. But seeing him drag the right rich people for being shitty? I’ll happily watch that all day.
Everyone has room for improvement, and this is his. But slamming Vance earns him points.
Also the last pope was pretty progressive. The world didn’t end. These weirdos are upset because the pope doesn’t like racism and is continuing the 2000 year tradition of Christ advocating for poor people.
Megan is a pseudo-Catholic, trying to get an annulment of her first marriage so the second one is legitimate in the eyes of the Church. Bet she hopes they put a 20 year old in charge of reviewing that.
That they settled on a US pope with dual citizenship in South America! That publicly slapped the couch fucker and #Krasnov is delicious.
If you ever needed a sign here it is! 1.4 BILLION Catholics vs US MAGA Catholics at 20-30 million! And Leo was probably writing the checks for Francis’ 🇺🇦 drones!
They spend all their time manufacturing ways to always be victims. It's nice when something benign happens, on a global level, that paints them as obvious "villains"
What do these people even care? They hate Catholics. I know some of them are recent converts trying to bite the Catholic history of scholarship and considered theology but that’s some recent bullshit veneer they’re trying to stick on good old evangelical bigotry.
I didn’t anticipate how conservatives meltdown over the new Pope would give me such joy today, but boy, what fun! If they think it’s the end the world for the pope to be vocally against treating immigrants badly, they’re really going to hate what the Jesus guy said in that book they never open.

She's such a hateful ghoul. White power, anti-woman, zero compassion. It doesn't get much more gross than Megyn KKKelly.
Thanks for playing
It’s the devils and the fallen angels you’re looking for, I think.
J/k that would mean she was consistent in her ethics instead of pivoting like a weathervane
I think they don't even try hard to be so desperately stupid
For a 69 year old Catholic, he is very progressive, and importantly, is extremely progressive by global Catholic perspectives.
Consider how big the Church is in Africa and South America.

GEORGE: because the pope is woke?
JERRY: because the pope is woke
GEORGE: so... it's pope cope?
JERRY: it's woke pope cope, George, woke pope cope!
"Gosh, I hope the Pope really doesn't believe what Jesus said!"
Deep thoughts…
Whatever they need to tell themselves to sleep at bight, I guess.
Got it, yeah, checks out.
(I would like actual conformation from a newspaper it is his account)
