Jesus was 100% anti-political. ‘Very well, give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar – and to God what belongs to God.’ Shame on you for politicizing Jesus and giving these morons any credibility I think this is the exact message the pope was trying to get across to American Catholics.

I belong to a church in a catholic parish, I send my kids to a catholic school. I've heard plenty of parents and parishioners deride poor people and foreigners. I would argue that any catholic or any christian who is enthusiastically supporting statements like these... Quote "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. […] They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists Quote Trump asked why America would want immigrants from "all these Dallas countries" and that the U.S. should have more people coming in from places like Norway. Quote ''My entire life, I've watched politicians bragging about how poor they are, how they came from nothing, how poor their parents and grandparents were. And I said to myself, if they can stay so poor for so many generations, maybe this isn't the kind of person we want to be electing to higher office,” Trump told Dowd, adding, "How smart can they be? They're morons.” is not trying very hard to follow the spirit of Christ.

That article is wild. Did he really write that Jesus wanted to establish one world government?? What?? Yeah, sure, based 100% on free will. Name a single govt in the history of the planet that operates that way. Can you envision Jesus collecting taxes? Come on, that is absurd

Trump isn't a Catholic, so your entire point is moot. And even so, Jesus didnt instruct people to break laws. Its apples and oranges, and a wild stretch to view Jesus' teachings through a modern lens.

You're just too deluded by the political religion to understand.

August 29, 20232 yr Trump's ability to be on the ballot has already been challenged in one state. I expect a good 10 states will have his sedition loving butt removed from the ballot this year.

The one with the political religion is the pope. Hes the one dipping repeatedly into the political realm. It was projection, hes mad his phony logic is being challenged by freedom loving Americans

"Encouraging faith"....what does that even mean??? We have faith, it was established thousands of years ago and that hasnt changed. And again, what specifically is he criticizing?? The only thing he can cite are challenges to his own words and opinions. Too bad that was built into the Catholic faith from the times of Simon Peter and Paul who frequently disagreed, and they were Jesus' hand picked disciples. But no, dont challenge the authority of the pontiff or you're "backwards" (ironic because thats the direction hes taking the church
August 29, 20232 yr These folks dipped into the political realm, alot. Jerry Fartwell did a lot too. They told their followers who to vote for, while taking their money. They interpreted the bible and spoke directly to God. What religion was it really? They determined that being Gay was a Sin, Porn was a sin, and that abortion was a sin. Republicans in the 1970's were pro-choice. It was religon that changed all that around. Religion entered politics and resulted in what we currently have now in the GOP.

The dude's encouraging people to put faith in Jesus and not political ideology. What exactly is so difficult for you to understand about that? Seriously, if encouraging people to put religion over politics triggers you this much, you're probably just an atheist who's having a really hard time with it.

Well you can't expect a catholic who is an independent and in definitely no way a Trump supporter not to get all triggered by the head of his church encouraging people not to worship Trump like a god.

Yes hes certainly doing a great job encouraging faith over ideology by being schismatic and ideological Youre oversimplifying the issue and ignoring most of what he said. He called American Catholics "reactionary" when our principles havent changed and hes the one who's reacted to the political whims of the day. He's the one being schismatic. Everything he said of American Catholics is 100% what he has done from day 1 of his papalcy. And again, what exactly is he criticizing??? What have the American Catholics done besides question his strange opinions and statements? Amazing how you guys are stanning for the freaking pope, only because you think you have a Trump angle.
