Republican Religious viewpoints

Interesting to see the left shift gears to religion to try’n justify giving away the country, and denigrate those who don’t believe we should and vote for likeminded leadership. ........ trying to proclaim that they’re guided by Jesus. What a joke. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV throws MAGA world into a Sunday rage by urging every Catholic in the world to help and care for immigrants just days after slamming Donald Trump's cruel policies.

This pope REALLY doesn't care about ruffling right-wing feathers...


Leo called on Catholics to "open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope."

The remarks were delivered to a crowd of thousands who were inside St. Peter's Square at the Vatican for Sunday Mass. It was part of event organized for migrants which attracted some 10,000 pilgrims from 95 countries. The Church’s message on immigration is clearly resounding around the world.

The pope stated that migrants cannot be treated with "the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination." Leo went on to call for "a new missionary age" in which the church will offer "hospitality and welcome, compassion and solidarity" to all of those migrants who are fleeing from violence or searching for a safe new home for themselves or the families.


"In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world's South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church," he said.


While he didn’t mention the United States or Donald Trump specifically, taken in the context of his past remarks it’s clear who and what he was pushing back against today. Last week, he enraged MAGA supporters by espousing the true teachings of Jesus Christ.

“Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life,” the pope told reporters.

“Someone who says that, ‘I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life."

Republicans have quickly come to despise Pope Leo because he dispels the lie that they tell themselves: They are not “Christian” in any meaningful sense of the word.

They have draped themselves in Christian aesthetics and signifiers while adopting a cruel, fascist worldview that is antithetical to the love, compassion, and selflessness taught by Christ.

Pope Leo sees right through them.

This pope just gave an award to a guy who has spent decades advocating for killing babies. Anything he says should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt. Not to mention the Catholic Church is no better than a human smuggling cartel, bunch of fucking sickos. I don’t know how they can manage a single follower to their pedo cult.
There’s a difference between helping a human being in need vs opening the door for fake asylum seekers that literally will eradicate Christianity if given the the chance.

It’s been proven time and time again with Christians facing current genocide in Nigeria. Why does the MSM not talk about this? Doesn’t fit the narrative?

As a left leaning centrist that usually votes Democrat I think a couple of you should be ashamed to use Christianity as a Trojan horse to further your open border fetish.

Who specifically?
Which who specifically?

More than one option.
Sometimes I wonder what the actual argument is here.

I’ll just say religion has no place in politics!! Something a see in MAGA.

Our current pope Leo XIV is of the order of St. Augustine.

The precepts of the Order of St. Augustine focus on living in community, emphasizing love for God and neighbor, humility, and sharing possessions. They also include guidelines for prayer, fasting, and mutual support among members, fostering a harmonious and charitable environment.


This sounds nothing like the current Republican party. But then again it sounds nothing like the Democratic party either.
You know what the pope should do then?

Import a representative sample of illegals inside Vatican City and enjoy the diversity and all that comes with it.

Not all cultures are compatible and it’s foolish to think otherwise. For example a Christian culture will always be increasingly at risk when a Muslim population in the same geography grows. History proves it.

I just spent 6 days in London for work and have been before. It’s highly recommended for you diversity warriors currently living in a bubble. You have no idea how the quality of your life may change one day.

GM, you're super consistent. Now if we could just get you to open up to Jesus and have some compassion for the foreigner like my main man, JC, we'd be in a better place.

That doesn't mean open borders either. We can start with respecting their human dignity

Catholicism, where limbo is for Xtian babies that were never baptized.

Eternal punishment for the unapproved pregnancy.
