October 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Even before Donald Trump became President, Pope Francis showed his willingness to engage in political interference in the US electoral process by commenting during the Presidential primaries that Trump was “not a Christian” because he was for building the border wall. Unbelievably, during that same in-flight press conference in 2016, the Pope was asked to comment on same-sex legislation going on in Italy, to which he replied, “The Pope doesn’t get mixed up in Italian politics… the pope is for everybody and he can’t insert himself in the specific internal politics of a country.”
This of course makes no sense. Good Catholics can come to different conclusions on immigration and the need to have adequate border security – including a wall – very much like the huge wall that surrounds the Pope’s own nation-state Vatican City. Good Catholics cannot however accept homosexual civil unions – as Church teaching has clearly stated, in reference to homosexual acts, “under no circumstances can they be approved.”
So, the Pope could very well, and should, come down on the murderous policies of the Democrat Party that stand proudly behind the murder of one million innocent American children each year via abortion, but has no business in taking on issues where Catholics are free to differ and sovereign states are free to decide within the realm of natural law.
The antagonism toward Trump from the Pope has continued ever since. The Pope has compared Trump to Herod, the border wall to the Berlin wall, and even publicly questioned Trump’s pro-life values.
The release of the Pope’s latest encyclical timed perfectly to affect the US Presidential election, is no exception.
Read with a political lens, it is painfully obvious that the Pope is pushing for Trump’s defeat, even going so far as to downplay the importance of abortion to Catholics in a manner threatening the Catholic faith itself.

Mehmet Ali Agca has wanted to meet the current Pope for a while now. Maybe someone will organize a GoFundMe so he can realize his dream.
As much as I would love to comment I’ll refrain and simply say that I will force myself to pray for this person who calls himself Francis after a man whose sandals he isn’t fit to scrub.
:-)
Nite!
This guy could play the false prophet of the Book of Revelation in a last day’s movie without rehearsals.
You can’t be socialist and a Christian when the very nature of socialism is replacing God with the state. Of course, anyone can pretend to be Christian while believing the opposite.
Jorge Bergoglio, the communist heretical Jesuit, is a George Soros puppet.
Poop Francois is a Musloid catamite...
Pope Francis need only put on his red shoes and bow before Moloch.
No man less worthy has ever been in that position, in all of history.
Though I confess, I have not, nor will I ever be a Catholic.
The good news is that the Vatican does not understand the mindset of the American Catholic voter.
Those who are at the level of slogging through such an encyclical have either already bought into the mindset and weren’t voting for Trump anyway, or discount anything coming out of Rome as things now stand. The rest don’t really bother with subtle digs brought out in encyclicals, or even in headlines that imply them (whether they are there or not).
says tne demonic pope whose entire nation-state is 100% surrounded by very tall stone walls
LOL!
the mighty Yale chooses to publish a Common Dreams’ piece, which infers Pope Francis used Biden’s campaign slogan, BUILD BACK BETTER.
to his credit, the Pope didn’t use the words himself:
1 Sept: Yale School of the Environment: ‘Creation Is Groaning!’: Pope Francis Denounces Endless Growth, Humanity’s Assault on Nature
By Andrea Germanos, Common Dreams
“Climate restoration is of utmost importance, since we are in the midst of a climate emergency.”
Pope Francis on Tuesday railed against humanity’s exploitation of natural resources and pursuit of endless growth as he urged people across the world to act with the urgency young people worldwide have demanded to protect the Earth and ***BUILD BACK BETTER from the coronavirus pandemic...

I got an actual laugh out of that. Thanks. :)
What were they thinking?
I am Lutheran, but go to mass with my wife out of necessity. The necessity of peace and quiet in the house. When John Paul II was Pope, I actually thought of converting because under his leadership I saw the Church becoming a bulwark against the attacks on Christianity. The next Pope was a disaster and he was forced out for the Jesuit.
I will never become a Catholic, because in the end the Lutheran Synod I belong too has remained a bulwark against secularism. The Pope is just a gay, communist anti-christ figure.
Is that the one where the Pope says the Southern Baptists have just as much right to the Vatican as he does?
