Trump posts AI photo of himself as Pope, says it "would be my number one choice."
How do all you Catholics feel about it?
“There is nothing clever or funny about this image,” said in a post on X.
“We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter,” the group said.
“Do not mock us.”
I agree with the sentiments of that statement, but as a PR strategy, I don’t know what was gained by the bishops in issuing the statement. i.e. was it an effective public relations strategy?“We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter,” the group said.
“Do not mock us.”
The Bible tells us, “Make no mistake: God is not mocked” (Galatians 6:7). The Pope is the Vicar of Christ. By publishing a picture of himself masquerading as the Pope, President Trump mocks God, the Catholic Church, and the Papacy....
… This is deeply offensive to Catholics especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis and praying for the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the election of our new Pope. He owes an apology.
I also don’t agree that it’s “deeply” offensive to Catholics.… This is deeply offensive to Catholics especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis and praying for the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the election of our new Pope. He owes an apology.
