Another Trump Goon Mansplains Religion to the Pope

Another Trump acolyte has taken it upon himself to lecture the pope on the Catholic faith.

Border Czar Tom Homan tried to school Pope Leo XIV on Catholic teachings about immigration in an interview with the Letters from Leo Substack on Wednesday, offering, “I’d be happy to sit down to explain to him.”

Homan, 64, prefaced his unsolicited theological lesson to the Vicar of Christ, 70, by touting his credentials as a “life-long Catholic.”

He went on to excoriate Leo for criticizing the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign, asserting the Chicago-born pontiff had failed to grasp Catholic doctrine.

Life-long Catholic #1 vs. life-long Catholic #2.

Sounds like a toss-up.

These MAGA "Christians" try to teach that empathy is a sin.

They cannot make Trump more like Christ, so they are going to try to make Christ more like Trump.
