Two close associates of Pope Francis have accused American Catholic ultraconservatives of making an alliance of hate with evangelical Christians to back President Trump, further alienating a group already out of the Vaticans good graces.
The authors, writing in a Vatican-vetted journal, singled out Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trumps chief strategist, as a supporter of an apocalyptic geopolitics that has stymied action against climate change and exploited fears of migrants and Muslims with calls for walls and purifying deportations.
The article warns that conservative American Catholics have strayed dangerously into the deepening political polarization in the United States. The writers even declare that the worldview of American evangelical and hard-line Catholics, which is based on a literal interpretation of the Bible, is not too far apart from jihadists.

Here we go again.
A thousand year old homosexual cult convinced gullible, faithful southern European peasants that they and only they held the key to the Jesus crackers and it worked very well to hold those peasants in thrall. Still working.
Every single time that the Roman Catholic Church strays from scripture, it’s to give power to this cult, your priesthood. Look at the fruit they’ve borne. It’s not good. Look at your church today, you are their enemy, they’re declaring it out in the open now. But you still cling to them.
Not going to happen.

There are the worse of among all Christians, even among Evangelicals.
I take solace that the Roman Catholic Church will survive this heretical, left wing pontiff.
My eight years of Jesuit teaching long ago led me to respect their intelligence and reason. The Society of Jesus admission and promotion standards have certainly slipped since then.
Can you please rephrase that? I’m not following.
Correction: There are worse sinners among all Christians, even among Evangelicals.
I don't think Roman Catholics and Christians would get along as well as you think.
There are a lot of issues that separate the two.
Forty nine days until we are free of this madness! Hang on tightly to what you were taught when you first believed!
Liberal “Catholics” have become marxists, and are not true Catholics any more, and this includes the pope.

most catholics I know are silent on abortionists and their power base and funding sources receiving communion. I thin the church in the uS is gone as national moral leader.
Worse sinners than whom, or what? I’m sorry but your reply still seems like a non-sequitur.
“Since when does the Vatican become embroiled in politics?”
A truly breathtaking statement. I would like to know when it -hasn’t-.
If God had wanted someone perfect to run the Church, He would have put angels in charge. And I don't cling. I'm a Catholic.
