Crazy Uncle Lou has too much time on his hands. That's fake, but certainly sounds like something Trump could actually say. The man is INSANE.
I bought it until I saw the date. No way that would have gone unmentioned for four days.
Also, it was way too early in the day. Trump doesn't start sundowning until after 11:00pm.
The Trump administration has abruptly canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant kids who have entered the US alone.

Some context.
LOL. You think the president first started hating the pope on Easter Sunday? The pope has been critical of the Iran War since the beginning, and had been promoting diplomacy over military aggression before it began.
The administration wasn't happy with some of those pre-war public pronouncements, which was a major factor in the Apostolic Nuncio being summoned to the Pentagon.
Trump was also no doubt pissed when the Vatican declined an invitation extended by Vance to Pope Leo for a White House visit on July 4, 2026, and the Vatican's subsequent announcement that the pope would not be visiting the US anytime in 2026.
The administration advised the Archdiocese of Miami of the cancellation of the Catholic Charities contract, a program that had been in place for 60 years, in late March. Also in late March, Pope Leo issued a blistering criticism of the war.
Catholic Charities reportedly is still sheltering hundreds of unaccompanied migrant children in south Florida, so the need for funding remains.
Given Trump's vengeful nature and history, don't tell me there was no spite factor here.
You posted disingenuous information (at best) and I added context. A simple me culpa, no response, or thank you is sufficient. Piss off with all the excuses. @goat can you add him to your list of posters, please?
So you going to apologize for being wrong again?

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said during a recent interview that he believes a demonic element is manifesting in the political culture of the United States, pinpointing the rhetoric of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as a prime example.
"I'll put my neck on the block and say, I think there is something demonic, in the wider sense, in the political culture of the United States at the moment: the permission being given to articulate, in the name of God, views which are, I've thought, completely antithetical to the Gospel."

Those taking the cloth are more and more conservative. This creates an interesting gulf between the College of Cardinals (80% appointed by Francis) and the lower clergy. How long before those lower clergy matriculate upwards to become bishops and cardinals, or does a progressive minority hold onto the levers of power in the church?
In your view, how does a predominance of progressive or conservative Catholic leaders affect the religious life of parishioners?
Pretty fascinating numbers here.

To be clear, the priests were surveyed on political orientation and theological orientation. They are obviously two different things. The survey question about political orientation didn't/doesn't use the term "progressive" but rather "liberal." In fact, the term "progressive" in modern American politics has become commonplace only in the last 20 years or so. Before that, the terminology describing and assessing political ideology was almost exclusively "conservative' and "liberal."
It's true that younger priests identify as more conservative, both with respect to politics and theology, than their older counterparts, but the gap is more dramatic on the "theology" side of the equation. The younger priests, for example, see the Latin Mass and Eucharistic devotion as higher priorities than older priests. On many issues that pertain to Catholic social teaching, though, such as poverty/homelessness/food insecurity and immigration/refugee assistance, the differences among the age cohorts are not that great.
The 2025 survey reflects that priests of all ages overwhelmingly support Pope Leo.
Finally, with respect to the 2025 survey and regardless of political orientation, in response to the question "To what extent are you concerned about the policies of the current political administration in the U.S.," 39% of the younger priests (ordained since 2000) answered either "extremely concerned" or "very concerned," with another 31% moderately concerned.

Just share the chart. Not going to engage with all your bullshit babble and cherry picked crap. I'll Simply leave this here. New priests unanimously care less about progressive bullshit priorities.
The chart supports what I stated.Pretty fascinating numbers here.

Ah, the "You mad bro?!?!" schtick again. So one note. So pathetic.
Your analysis completely disregards that trendline and the fact that with few exceptions theological conservatism is a durable proxy for political conservatism. It was dishonest, partisan crap, posted by a shill.

Except for being anti-abortion, widely-held Catholic theological beliefs and political conservatism (edit: in the MAGA realm) seem to very often be polar opposites
anti-abortion? check

Seek peace? MAGA Nope, Church yes
Forgiveness is a virtue? MAGA Nope, Church yes
