    I hear good things about this Pope, from how he spent a relatively long time in Peru, to how Pope Francis liked him and how both share about the same views on the world.

    I must confess I was a bit wary when I heard the new Pope was American, but at least he seems like a good one, thankfully.

    That, however, does not erase the very real pressure he’ll face from MAGA, who will undoubtedly try to make him their puppet through whatever means necessary, be it flattery, or even attempts at blackmailing behind closed doors - expect this especially if Vance or Trump rush to visit him now. In their mind he’s surely American before being Pope, ergo he’s expected to bend the knee to them, ergo they surely think they already own the Vatican.

    My hopes are up for Pope Leo XIV to show them how wrong they are, and prove the critics of his nationality wrong.

    She [Laura Loomer] also called him a “MARXIST POPE!” finding a tweet from the now-pope showing his support of praying for George Floyd.

    Wtf?

    Call me when he he starts publicly excommunicating pedophile priests and turning them over to law enforcement. Until then he can get fucked with the rest of his church.

    Waiting for claims that the election was stolen and that Trump was the real winner.

    Conservative Charlie Kirk said that he found voting records showing that the new pope was a registered Republican and voted in GOP primaries.

    However, a fact-check quickly came from Henry Olsen of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, saying, “Illinois has no party registration. This merely means he cast a Republican ballot in the last party primary.”

    Would be pretty funny if new pope voted in the Republican primary just to vote against trump twice in one year…

    Yet shitty news site. I even clicked “allow the cookies” and I still couldn’t read the article because of some other pop up demanding my email adres.

      Use your browser’s reader mode - it should strip out anything like that and let you read it as pretty much just raw text
