Never thought I’d see the day when blindly pro-Christ America threatens the Holy See with the murder of the pope and the creation of a heretical antipope. Was definitely not on my “Crazies of 2026” bingo card.
You know the KKK went after Catholics almost as hard as Black people…
Right?
That the whole “a Catholic president will just listen to the pope” was just an excuse to not elect a Catholic?
That Joe Biden’s memories of the good old days when Republicans wouldn’t stop telling him he was “one of the good ones” they were talking about him being Catholic yet siding with evangelicals?
Like, this ain’t new, it’s so old this is how they were brought up, and it goes both ways.
My Catholic grandmother didn’t talk to my mom, ever, because my mom was a different flavor of Christian than Catholic. MAGA boomers grew up during that schism, they 100% never saw themselves on the same side. They think of Catholicism like younger generations think of Mormonism.
What’s going to fuck trump up with Abrahmic religions of all flavors, is the AI pic of him as Jesus.

You’re gonna be really shocked when Muslim leaders start talking about how Jesus is coming back to save everyone then…
I was initially surprised by this too. But the more I think about it, the more expected it is.
Trump’s hardcore base is mostly comprised of evangelical protestants. And they fucking hate the pope in every form (more conservative and more liberal ones alike), and Catholics in general.
His comments will energize their support, which has been slipping a bit due to the Epstein files. And as someone else said he, the hardcore base of ultra-conservative Catholics who also support Trump won’t care about his latest comments, because they hate Leo too.
This really is just playing to his base. Not in a 4D chess way, but more in the form of his latest tantrum unwittingly hitting a strategic sweet spot.

Watch as Trump goes full Henry VIII and starts his own church purely to make raping pre-teens a religious practice and for the tax exemption.
I’ll take “things I didn’t want to know” for €1000 please
He is the president and he has already demonstrated he isn’t bound by any silly “rules.”
I mean, he could, but why bother?

This isn’t the first time he’s shared pics of him as Jesus. They didn’t care then and they won’t care now
But… But… Wouldn’t Mohammad be the return of Christ? Like that would be the next itteration.
No, it’s literally Jesus…

Mohammed was just the most recent prophet, they still view Jesus as the Messiah, just not the literal son of God.
Like how the split between Catholics and Evangelicals is Catholics think he’s literally God, and Evangelicals think he was “just” a son…
The differences are incredibly minor.
The narcissism of small differences.

Did you say… Antipope?
I hoped it was Zlad!
