@realCarola2Hope No one is attacking your faith they maybe attacking your Pope because he attacked them.

You don’t get to attack our faith, our Pope, and our Church, and then ask for our vote. We are the margin of victory. Or we are the reason you lose.
Best of luck winning elections when your base is down to white evangelicals only.

I am not trying to make my Catholic friends, who I love, angry with this statement. But this entire episode is starting to explain to me why so many Americans were concerned about a Catholic president for so long. I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy. And if it continues to loudly make its opinions heard on our foreign policy, I believe they’re going to find a lot of American Protestants feeling a lot less ecumenical than we have been in the more recent past.

@theblessedsalt Catholic countries have committed way more war crimes America ever did.
English
Should Roman Catholic soldiers — any soldiers — commit war crimes because their president says so?
Now you see why it was a mistake to elect non-Catholics and non-practicing Catholics to the presidency.
Colin J. Smothers@colinsmo
Question for Roman Catholics: Should Roman Catholic soldiers obey the lawful military orders of President Trump even if the Pope doesn't believe the war is just? Now you can see why America didn't have a Roman Catholic president for almost 200 years.

@greggnunziata It’s mainly social media. But it is also political meaning no one is against Pope Bob because of religious doctrine. They are against him because of his political positions and continuous attacks against Trump and conservatives.
English
Maybe it's just on social media, but I've never seen open anti Catholicism on the American right like I have this week

@ShaneSchaetzel With respect to the intervention by France and Spain that was completely a strategic geo political decision on their part. Since the mid-seventeenth century such alliances of convenience were routine among Protestant and Catholic powers.
English
@ShaneSchaetzel There was no influence from Catholic France or Spain. Our colonial wars were basically religious wars against both. The areas you mentioned were conquered/bought by the founding stock, New Orleans being the only part where we absorbed a significant Catholic population.
English
This was a great speech. America owes so much to the Catholic Church, and without Catholics, there would be no America.👇🏻

@FistedFoucault Keep following Pope Bob and they will be in your country soon enough.

Retards not noting "more equitable"
Retards thinking that the Church not looking out for the poor is as old as the Church itself
Retards thinking that this has anything to do with Marxism, when Marx and Engels perverted church teachings.
Go to Joel Osteen's "church".

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

@CatholicCharm Why didn’t your ancestors stay in their Catholic countries?

The Catholic Church will outlast all of its enemies and their bloodlines ✨

@ShaneSchaetzel Counter-Reformation Catholicism was very different from medieval Catholicism.
English
All Western Christians were Catholic prior to 1520. This was ESPECIALLY TRUE of English Christians, who all remained Catholic up until 1534.
English
@poperespecter1 Maybe if Pope Bob didn’t bash conservatives they wouldn’t bash him. Wasn’t any bashing of Catholics when JP II and Benedict XVI were Pope.
English
Trump allies all seem to have gotten the call:
Trash Catholics.
English
@TRHLofficial That was done as propaganda to try and get Quebec to join the Revolution. New England had a very anti-Catholic culture. Washington would be enraged at the Pope’s conduct continuously interfering in our politics in a very partisan manner.
English
General Washington condemned anti-Catholic behavior of men like this amongst his ranks, calling it “monstrous”.
And if you love America, Thank George Washington.

If you love America. Thank a Protestant.

@HazThomist Why does the Pope need to live in a palace. Sell the Vatican the money it would generate would be billions and give it to the poor. A better idea is that the all the asserts of the Catholic Church and Catholic clergy should be sold and given to the poor.
English
Anyone who objects to this clearly hasn't read the Church fathers, who are even more fervent. St Augustine says that "the superfluities of the rich are the necessities of the poor," and whoever witholds them is a thief.
Judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy.

Unusual idea: the American people vote for an executive to use his reason and common sense in their interests and don’t want to have religious sects or ethnoreligious groups of any kind impose their factional interests as “influence” on that representative…
John Daniel Davidson@johnddavidson
I say this in all sincerity: the country would be MUCH better off if the Vatican had even a fraction of influence with the White House that Protestant Zionist pastors have. Whatever influence Pope Leo has is nothing compared to the influence that these Protestant leaders have.
English
@tonyannett When are you giving all your assets to the poor?
English
Thank you, Pope Leo! The fact 700 million people still live in extreme poverty when global GDP exceeds $100 trillion is the greatest moral scandal in the world today.

@GreenPlusAnE The Revolution was because the British Crown was infringing on the colonists rights. So under such a scenario the colonists had the right to make an “appeal to heaven”. The Pope wants to comment upon every aspect of this administration and in a very partisan and one sided manner.
English
If the Catholic church’s teaching that there is a moral law higher than human political authority threatens some Americans, that suggests to me they’ve forgotten that America is founded on an appeal to just such a law, against an existing political authority.

@CatholicCharm @GlawkJesus @Player0129876 @grok Taxes through the roof and every old mill town is a dump. Springfield MA in the 19th Century was a major industrial center with the cutting edge industrial innovation, now it is an armpit. It also had all those things you mention before there was one Catholic in New England.
English
@GlawkJesus @Player0129876 @grok New England is consistently the region in the country with the lowest crime, highest education, highest quality of life, lowest poverty, etc. Where did the Catholics immigrate to again?

I’m Catholic before I’m American btw
AF Post@AFpost
A meeting between Cardinal Christophe Pierre and the Pentagon was described as a bitter lecture, during which a U.S. official invoked the Avignon Papacy, a 14th-century period when the French crown used military power to influence the papacy, as an implicit warning to the Church. Follow: @AFpost

This is not going to work. It is an attempt to bridge a widening divide. To defeat the Left, Catholics, evangelicals, “fascists,” the lukewarm, and the positively non-religious will have to become conscious of a national identity. It’s either political Catholicism or nationalism.
Shane Schaetzel †☧@ShaneSchaetzel
Neither Catholics nor Evangelicals have enough votes alone to win a single major election in this nation. To overcome the godless Left, we MUST work together. This is why Leftists in the media and the deep state are constantly trying to drive a wedge between us. One should always keep this in mind whenever we hear “news” about something political related to Catholic-Evangelical relations. There is a way forward for both of us, and no, MAGA is not the solution. It’s just a primer. I will be outlining this way forward in my upcoming book, set to be published this July. Keep checking my feed for updates.
