You won't condemn them either, because the enemy of America is your friend.
Could Representative Presley get away with not wearing a Hijab in Iran?Careful, most of the leftists here will not grasp that that is sarcasm.

Many people refer to the Pope as the "Vicar of Christ," which means he acts as an earthly representative of Christ, but he is not called Christ Himself. This title emphasizes his role in leading the Catholic Church on Earth.
Truly a follower of the faith ^, Trumpism, and MAGA say they aren’t a cultBullshit. He went after Trump in the belief he would appeal to the world. He is a sleazy politician who has decided he would rather be defended of the left than defender of the faith.

“voted” is past tense60% of Catholics voted for Trump.
trump forgot that the Pope was born in America and is still a citizen. A citizen who is concerned about what this country has become under trump.Trump delivered an extraordinary broadside against Pope Leo XIV on Sunday night, saying he didn't think the U.S.-born global leader of the Catholic Church is “doing a very good job” and that “he's a very liberal person," after suggesting that the pontiff should “stop catering to the Radical Left.”
Flying back to Washington from Florida, Trump used a lengthy social media post to sharply criticize Leo, then kept it up after deplaning, in comments on the tarmac to reporters.
Trump's comments came after Leo suggested over the weekend that a “delusion of omnipotence” is fueling the U.S.-Israel war in Iran. While it’s not unusual for popes and presidents to be at cross purposes, it’s exceedingly rare for the pope to directly criticize a U.S. leader — and Trump’s stinging response is equally unusual.

Christie I have TWO copies of the John Paul II book that make the specific claim that the Pope is called Christ on Earth. You can pick up a copy on Amazon if you don't believe me. I picked my copies up at a used book store for a buck each.As expected, @FastLane Lane is lying as usual.
No, Pope John Paul II did not call himself Christ on earth. He emphasized the role of Christ as the true light and truth, but he did not claim to be Christ himself.

“The term comes from the Latin word vicarius, meaning one who stands in place of another, like a steward, deputy, or chief of staff. The idea isn’t that the Pope replaces Jesus, but rather that he represents Him. The Pope is the one entrusted with shepherding the Church on Earth in the name of Christ.” (https://conclave.relevantradio.com/what-does-it-mean-that-the-pope-is-the-vicar-of-christ/)
