    You would think Catholics would be absolutely outraged by this but the pope, who before was totally taboo to ever criticize, has been getting lots of criticism from Catholics for a long time now, ever since pope Francis was elected and but especially now with pope Leo. Ironically the absolutely fiercest critics of the pope are the so called “tradcaths” or ultra conservative catholic zoomers. If you look at their social media bubble it’s shit thrown at whatever the pope is saying every single week.

    I don’t think US conservative Catholics care at all what Trump is saying about the pope. They hate the pope themselves. Maybe they will even cheer on.

      Thinking that the wrong dude is the Pope is the most Catholic thing ever.

      I’m sure this is true for the conservative Catholics, but there are also millions of moderate and liberal Catholics who lean Dem and are most definitely anti-MAGA.
