"Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy," Trump wrote. "He talks about 'fear' of the Trump Administration, but doesnt mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart."
He went on to say that he likes the pope's brother, Louis, "much better" than he likes him, emphasizing Louis's support for MAGA. "He gets it, and Leo doesnt!" Trump wrote.
Trump claimed that Pope Leo "thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon" and that he doesn't want a pope "who thinks its a terrible idea that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country."
"And I dont want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because Im doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History," the president added.

Vance is releasing a book about how he converted to Catholicism. Yet he brooks these ludicrous and dishonest attacks on the Pope?

(52,244 posts)When an advisor warned him against conflict with the Catholic Church, Josef Stalin contemptuously demanded, How many divisions does the pope have? It was a rhetorical question. It presumed the obvious: With no army at all, what threat could the pope pose to Soviet tyranny?
