Cardinal Robert Prevost’s name comes up as a potential successor to Pope Francis“ by Chris Livesay (May 7, 2025) — Robert Barron „has spent days speaking with the cardinals — including the 133 cardinal electors tasked with electing the new pope — as they try to figure out among themselves who is best to lead the church next. „Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: ‚Look, until America goes into political decline, there won’t be an American pope.‘ And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don’t want America running the world religiously. So, I think there’s some truth to that, that we’re such a superpower and so dominant, they don’t wanna give us, also, control over the church.“ . . .“: https://archive.is/2025.05.08-171600/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pope-could-it-be-american-cardinal-robert-prevost/ , https://archive.is/MF6oo

The only people who buy this are MAGA.
Well, a cardinal had said that there wouldn’t ever be an American pope unless the U.S. was in decline. So thanks, Trump.
Stephen Miller is the man behind the curtain. Donald is too old and dumb to understand what’s going on around him. He would rather be golfing.
By photoshopping himself?
So why wasn’t the Cardinal that MAGA was rooting for picked?
Why did they choose the one who is anti-MAGA?
Good vs evil
That’s hilarious.
I knew he’d make a claim like this, I actually said that in a post on the day the new pope was elected, half jokingly.
He’s so fucking predictable, jfc.
Of course he does. Stop reporting on his asinine posts that are rambling about how he rules the world
Trump is insane.
It takes a special brand of narcissism to claim that you had influence of a process that you have no influence over and picked a Pope who is demonstrably anti MAGA.
The thing about watching Trump’s complete decline into mindless blithering is that it just leads you to wonder which junior fascist in the White House is actually in charge on any given day.
Final stage of brainrot.
I mean, it kind of does feel like the decision might have in part been a response to his bullshit. So…
You know what, I’m willing to give him credit for this one if, and only if, he starts acting like someone listening to and actually absorbing the kinds of things the pope says.
The fact that Popes can be elected at all when they are meant to be a literal connection to god kinda ruins the whole gimmick anyway. But I digress.
Someone said he’d do this, right here in this sub. I think it was an article about how this pope stands against Trump that I saw the comment
I mean there are those who say that selecting this particular cardinal was a calculated rebuke of Trump and right wing authoritarian politics worldwide so in a way…
Anyone still thinking this guy was a great choice is a complete fucking idiot.There is no way to say it politely.
Trump claims credit for the sun rising this morning. He’s also responsible for the Full Moon later today.
He’s like a real-life Forrest Gump, except he doesn’t actually do anything. Nothing good anyway. And he’s a lot dumber.
He also controls the weather, with his mind..oh that brilliant mind!
So Trump is responsible for this woke Marxist pope? Interesting.
In his dementia mind he did, no harm done, give the poor old man a break.
Doesn’t maga hate Leo because he’s woke? So shouldn’t they accept him?
i wish i could flush this nightmare down the toilet
To be fair, there was someone a while back that said there would never be an American Pope until America was in decline. So, in a way, he could get credit for the American Pope!
Trump is a liar.
It is quite plausible that they chose an American Pope under the perception that Americans especially need Jesus in the moment, being overrun with heathen bands that are likely to deport Jesus to a third world gulag just based off of the name or the Middle-Eastern look, without even mentioning the feed the poor, turn the other cheek, flip the money tables ethos.
Not long before he credits himself with the rising of the sun and moon.
Trump deserves „credit“, but not in the way he thinks. Just like John Paul II was elected to rally Eastern Europe against Communism. Leo XIV is meant to rally America _against_ MAGA and Trumpism.
Edited to add „against Communiam“ for further context
Yeah, the College of Cardinals wanted an intelligent American on the world stage.
Jesus could come back to earth today and Trump would take credit for it. Somehow Jesus would be here as a personal favor to Trump.
Goddamn this guy sucks
What took him so long?
For the life of me, I can’t figure out how you can look at this pathetic loser and still think „yes, this is the person that represents me, that’s the person I’m voting for“.
But you guys remember when Biden said a couple of wrong words once? Fucking guy was mentally in decline amirite? /s
Thanks msm for proliferating that bullshit on Biden. He needed to not run again but the double standard is fucking ridiculous to the maximum levels
There could be something to that, not that Trump knows anything more than we do. But it’s similar to how he can take credit for Canada and Australia’s elections. Very strange thing to brag about
Wait so Trump wants credit for an American pope, but MAGA doesn’t like that pope because he’s woke?
