      You understand that magats are typically protestant right?

      Jesus (as written) would likely be very upset about a church that builds enormous cathedrals, hoards gold, has a corrupt “priest class” and has at times waged war.

        The vice president is (or claims to be) catholic.

          The American Catholic Church leadership is extremely conservative however and they hate the pope, they hated the last Pope as well. They would kill him themself if they could. There are exceptions but by and large the American Catholic Church leadership are Nazis.

            Even though the current pope is literally one of them. An American Catholic.

            My grandmother, who was a devout Roman Catholic her whole life, even getting awarded for her service to the church, said that the Pope needed to mind his own business when he was criticizing Trump wanting to build the wall in his first term.

            I’m glad she died before his second term.

            Bullshit. You can’t compare Catholic leadership to MAGAts. They may be pretty conservative but by and large are horrified by this administration.

            This is not “both conservatives are the same”

              The majority of the Catholic leadership are members of the maga coalition.

              Sure we can. Catholic leadership protects those who rape little boys the way MAGAts protect those who rape little girls.

        This is making some heavy assumptions about what the average MAGAT knows about Jesus. As far as most of them are concerned, Jesus’ favorite gun would be an AR-15.

        For them, the Bible is merely a thick paper tweet to be used to smack anybody who disagrees with them like a cartoon character smacking a dog with the newspaper.

          Sure - but one thing they also know is that “Catholics aren’t Christian”.

        This is about Saint Paul. According to tradition, Saint Peter was the first bishop of Rome (and, thus, the first pope). Different guys. Paul was basically the first Christian theologian.
