Pope Leo keeps saying thigs against the war with Iran that clealy criticize Trump and since this is from the level of a world authority and an authority looked to by milions of Catholics, over a billion, it carries weight, and although I might cringe a little at Trump's willingness to responsd to him as he did, mostly I'm glad that he did, for all the reasons I've often talked about here. The Popels were once the rulers of the western world, self appointed of course, usurprers of that wrole but overn worse than that of course usurpers of the role of Christ in the world, and still accord themselves the right to rule kings and Presidents of nations.
The horrors of the rulership of the Popes in teh late Middle Ages are just about forgotten in the west and desperately need to be rrestored to the consciousness of today's Christians in particular but eveybody for that matter. Especially cCtholics. They murdered true Christians in the millions for refusing to accept Catholic doctrines, calling the true tdoctrines of the Protestant Reformation heresies although they are the ones with the heresies. The Roman Church is mostly a revival of the pagan religons of Rome, most of which go back to Babylon, all the relgions that are opposed to Christianity, althought Rome also incorporates enough Christian teaching to confuse a lot of people and fool the unwary into accepting them as Christianity, even the foundational Chrsitainity of the West.
We've forgotten the Protestant Reformation, even most Protestant Churches have rorgotten it. the Reformation restored the true Chrsitainity that had been lost under the Roman usurpation, threw out their paganisms and brought back the pure gospel. These days even Protestant leaders bow to Rome, some I mean, there are still a few who know the truth and kjnow that the Pope is an imposter. Unless the truth is rediscovered the false Church of Rome is going to reclaim its power in the world and that means a renewed Inquisition against those who oppose them. Inquisition means murder and torture of dissidents. One thing that is very clear if you know anything about Roman dioctrine over the centuries is that they strongly oppose the concwepts of freedom of religion, freedom of Speech and all our individual freewdoms because they maintain that only Rome has the right to determine the truth and everybody else must obey. Nboody thinks of that anywmore and probably doesn't believe it when I say it here iether.
People nbeed to learn some history, a lot of history. I recently reread a couple of books maybe everyone else should read, at least Dave Hunt's A Woman Rides the Beast, which is all about the history of the Roman power in the world./ H Grattan Guinness's Romanism and the Reformation is another that does that same work. The end times theology of Guinness isn't to be trusted in my opinion bnut the portrait he paints of the Roman Church is very good.Hunt' end times vision excludes the idea of a Pope as the final Antichrist, which I think is a big mistake, and I've argued here that he must be a Pope for many reasons. If some other figure has a name or title that convincigly adds up to 666 that would convince me that it imight not have to abe a Pope but that's all that would do it becaue the numver is too compellingly embdded in a Latin title of the Pople in my opinion to allow for any better derivation of it to come along.
Trump should definitely reject the churzpah of the Pople in his pronouncements about what he does as President. I would hope that American Catholics would also realize that the Pope should ot be obeyed in such a conflict, but of course the problem in America has always been that Catholics could choose what a Pope says over what our laws and leaders say. That is why many people were upset at the thought of John F DKenney's becoming President, that he would represent the Pope against our institituions. And it certainly did happen that way in the Middle Ages when papal decreses could turn a whole population of Catholic subjects of European kings against their king and force the king to give in to tthe Pople. We are historically a Protestant nation but thgat may not guarantee that Americans would have the wisdom to reject a papal decree if one came down.
I couldn't hear what the Pople said in response to Trump, I've tried to get a source I can hear but haven't yet found one. All I can make out is something about the gospel and not being a polictical figure or something liketh at. Well, the Pope as a matterof fact IS a political figure. The Vatican is a sovereign nation unto itself and has that standing among the other nations of the world. As for tyhe gospel, Jesus preached to individuals. Only individuals can be saved, not nations. The leader of a nation in this fallen world has an obligation to the citizens of that nation to protect them against other nations that would harm us, and against immigrants who would infiltrate us from within and harm us that way, which is another policy of Trump's, his polcity of deporting immigrants, that the Pople ha objected to. Trump's job as President is pto protect the nation and the gospel does not apply to that understtaking. That The gospel isn't even rightly presached in the Catholic Church. Catholics really don't know hot wo to be saved. The principles of the Reformation have been denounced by Romae as heresides, and cursed as heresies to be shunned, those principles by which a person can be saved, but to Roman they are heresies so the average Catholic doesn't believe in the very truths that would save him or her. Catholics who think they are saved need to rethinik it and get out of the so cLLED CHURCH OF rOME WHERE TEHQYy cannot be saved.
Anhywahy, certainly we should treat a wrold leader with common respect, but truth ius truth and as Jesus disciples said when it was demanded of them that they obey the authorities and not preach the truth to the people, we must obey God aND NOT MAN. The gospel does not apply to a national leader, but it does apply to individuals and Catholics are in real danger of missing eternal life because they are not taught the true gospel in their paganized Church.
It is alarming to me that someone like J D Vance has become a Catholic. There are certainly a lot of good patriotic Catholics in America, but is their allegiance going to stick with America or if challenged by a Poplee go against America. that's a real caadanger, but besides that they are not saved and we were once a Protestant nation and the more we can do to reclaim that earilier status the better. When a Pope is invited to speak in our Congress that is a travesty , a horror, a treatchery, and if we knew our history as we should the whole nation would have risen in outrage against that when Pelosis and Baynor did it and then when Pope Francis was invited later. as well. We need to wake up.
By the way if the Pople is concerned about people being killed in a wayr he ought to consider that that is the reason Trump is doing what he is doing, trying to prevent the death of milions by a nuclear bomb and a much worse war by intervening now before it is too late.
esides, the idea that the head of the Church that tortued are murdered millions for the crime of disagreeig with them is almost laughale.

Try that one again. Besides, the idea that the head of the institution that murdered and tortured millions for the crime of disagreeing with him cares about what happens to people in this ar now is almost laughable.
