While speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vice President JD Vance said that Pope Leo XIV should “be careful” when he talks about theology. The pope recently criticized the war with Iran.
Isn’t the Pope supposed to be the guy for Catholics, appointed to directly hear God’s voice on Earth, and spread it to the masses? And if that’s the case, aren’t all these faux-Christians disagreeing with him - like Vance - disagreeing with the very God they purport to worship?
Catholics can disagree with the pope on secular matters, the problem here is that the pope is quoting the catechism almost verbatim, and convert-boy is throwing a tantrum because he joined the church based on aesthetics and not any kind of conviction.
A bunch of Protestants think the Pope is the Antichrist, but apparently Vance identifies as Catholic, so yeah, he’s defying God. Catholic doctrine also holds that the Pope is infallible when ruling on theology.
In my experience American catholics in general tend to be the ones who vote hard right, while saying “I think politics is tearing us apart” and “oh, I don’t discuss politics” “I’m not racist, but…”.
They want the same thing the far righ wants they just don’t want to get their hands dirty.

The man converted to catholicism then within a few years was beefing with two popes in a row on basic catholicism.
That is what we in the business call a poser.
It just popped into my head that Vance’s tie should have poser in block letters going from top to bottom and trump should have loser on his.
Wonder if this could be a browser extension

The American Catholic leadership are hardcore conservative, with a few exceptions, and working at cross purposes with Christ’s mission on earth.

Literally any Catholic who criticizes the Pope is a hypocrite because the Pope is meant to be God’s representative/mouthpiece on Earth.
The pope doesn’t claim infallability on everything, only specific statements ex cathedra.
It’s not a church to these people. It’s a country club.
