God brings on heavy hitters to smack down Trump, 'the lying, criminal predator'

[douglas9]

Churches and synagogues are no longer just cringing in shame and embarrassment at the mockeries of their faith by the fakers and frauds leading the USA. They are joining the courts, state governors, courageous actors, journalists, retired military brass and the millions of No Kings marchers in condemning Trump’s escalating criminality.

Recently-installed Pope Leo XIV met this month with the Bishop of El Paso Mark Seitz and senior Catholic welfare director Dylan Corbett as violence by Trump’s goons against refugees and citizens alike was raging.

“The church cannot stay silent before injustice. You stand with me. And I stand with you.” The pontiff told his two countrymen.

“You have in your hands a very important task: to accompany those who are deeply in need of a sign that God never abandons us: the smallest, the poorest, the foreigner — everyone.”

After that meeting, Bishop Seitz urged all Catholics to support the pope’s message.

“It is just so important today — in this time more than ever — that the Latino presence in the United States be acknowledged, encouraged, loved, accompanied,” he said. “They feel so much rejection, so much hatred in the place that they came to seeking security and love.”

1. Pope Leo can talk all he wants

but I would prefer that he excommunicate all Catholics in the government, starting with Shady McMaybelline and working his way down. THATis the kind of public shaming they really deserve! And don't forgive them and let them back in until they have shown that they've mended their ways and done public penance, either. That's the way it used to be done, and that's the way it needs to be done again.

2. I am wondering if this is not laying the groundwork for something like that.

I'm not holding my breath that he will do as you say, but this is interesting.
