It’s only a tough situation if you’re a heartless monster.

“What my friend said is that she prays for the president every day, that God will remove that hard heart of his and replace it with a softer one that has love.”

I have a similar prayer, only I leave out the part about a replacement.

“If you’re an American, you don’t want to see your president having a feud with the pope,” said Taylor Marshall, an outspoken Catholic conservative with a considerable YouTube following. “And if you’re Catholic, it’s kind of hard. If you voted for Trump three times and you want to be a Catholic and you want to be faithful and submit to the Holy Father, the bishop of Rome, the pope, the vicar of Christ, it’s kind of a tough situation to see the leader of your nation feuding with the leader on Earth of the Catholic church. It is for me.”

These people need to be isolated and studied, because what the fuck.

If you are torn by this issue, return the baptism water, it has been wasted on you.

This shouldn't be difficult at all. trump is literally the avatar of every cardinal sin that the church has.

This is a conservative christian not wanting to lose face with his Baptist buddies.

TFW you realize what religion is and that you have two of them.

Anyway the Bible is clear about this, “you can’t serve two masters”.

I love this for Catholics. They deserve another schism.

If the teachings of your religion and faith can be swayed by any man or woman on earth then you don’t believe in those teachings and you are by definition not a religious person.

Catholicism and conservatism are bipolar opposites. Like, I don't get how you can love and accept Jesus while hating poor or nonwhite people

It's only a feud if the animosity goes both ways. This isn't a feud. This is just Trump attacking the pope.

Really? It doesn't seem like a hard choice. One is the ordained leader of the Catholic church and one is a failed business man and washed up celebrity.

Torn? They should be excommunicated for following chomo Caligula

On the one hand, murder is bad, but on the other hand I am full of hate and fear....

false choice, it's actually possible to leave both cults, even if the pope is saying some good shit at the moment

Only if you're not a true catholic. Both are a cult but one is closer to Jim Jones.

torn? boy being catholic is so different from when I was young.

I guess they only have faith, when it confirms their pre-held beliefs

The Pope or Trump. Not some generally worldwide renowed layman, or other holy figure. TRUMP!

I’m Jewish. I would always choose Pope over T*

In my parish I have heard more than one person say something to the effect of "But Francis isn't even Catholic he's Jesuit" when he passed our Pastor included some such line like "regardless of what you feel about this Pope..." it's so sad.

Are we getting Guelphs and Ghibellines? Definitely not on my bingo card for 2026.

US Catholich are torn between two false stories, one that "when you die poor you will go to heaven" and the orher that "we are rich and everything is the best". The reaily is vice-versa, when you die poor (or rich) you will NOT go to heaven and ... well you know the other answer, it's visible.
