Catholics (in America at least) would happily let him spit in their faces, as long as he continues to make abortions harder to get. Never mind the fact that the Church is equally against the death penalty, or treating migrants like cattle…
American catholics are very different to european catholics. Not that european catholics are good, but compared to the US version they are outright progressive.
If they pick another reformist Pope (especially one from Africa or Asia), I would expect the American Bishops to openly revolt and name their own Pope. It’s been over 500 years since we had an Antipope. I think we’re due.
This guy is so crass and so gormless he doesn’t hesitate for one second to spit in the face of 1.5bn Catholics in the world.
Having said that, I wouldn’t mind a picture of Trump as a dead Pope…

I think it varies. West coast Catholics tend to be pretty progressive compared to Midwest or southern Catholics in the US.
