Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.
I wonder if gaslighting religion is going to work on the MAGA base, they have to go against what they were taught their whole life now, a really test of the cult loyalty.
He’s The Fucking Pope, that’s like, his whole thing
Person who has dedicated their entire life to the understanding, debate, discussion, research, philosophy to their religion or a man who at best is a grifter at worst guilty of serious crimes.
My new favorite passage " And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Imagine what sort of idiot would tell the Pope that he’s wrong on matters of theology.
"Hannity suggests . . . "
Ok. There we go . . .
They’re laying the ground work to officially start their own religion.
They’ll try to canonize prosperity gospel and make Trump their savior stand in.
💯
I think ‘The President Is Wrong, The Pope Is Right’: Hannity Suggests Donald Has ‘Totally Lost Sight of the Bible and Its Teachings’ sounds more correct and truthful.
Who is Hannity?
- Housepainter.
- He attended but did not graduate from:
-
- Sacred Heart Seminary
-
- St. Pius Seminary
-
- New York University
-
- Adelphi University
-
- 1989 Volunteered as a DJ at KCSB, Santa Barbara, was fired, show dismissed.
- 1990’ish - got another job at WVNN, Alabama
- proceeded to talk on the radio …
Why does this matter? - because it shows that Hannity doesn’t matter. Any more than the 12 of us in this thread. - He is alive and has a mouth, are his accomplishments and skills, Yet his thoughts and opinions are played across the loudspeakers of the camp.

While I understand what you’re saying, Hannity absolutely matters because millions of people listen to his bullshit. His past doesn’t matter as he is a powerful propagandist now.
Shut up, Sean.
Lmao I love how folks are telling the VOICE OF GOD ON EARTH that he’s wrong.
(I’m an atheist and don’t believe it, but this whole situation is hilarious.)
Catholics are not real “Christians”. So they dont believe in the Pope’s position or respect the Pope.
I cannot fathom telling a guy who has dedicated his life to the church though that he doesn’t understand the bible. Then again that is the republican MO, if you think you know better than an expert clearly you do.
I’m going to be pedantic, but it’s the exact opposite of what you wrote. Catholics are a branch of Christians, who give more importance to the role of saints and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, among other differences.
So you should actually argue that they are not really Catholics, if they don’t recognize the authority of the Pope.I had to read their comment a few times, but I think when they said “they,” they were referring to people like Hannity.
Catholics are not real “Christians”. So they dont believe in the Pope’s position or respect the Pope.
Like “according to people like Hannity, Catholics are not real Christians. Therefore, people like Hannity don’t believe in the Pope’s position or respect the Pope”
Definitely a strange way to word it.
I mean the catholics have shaped all Christianity.
No they haven’t, not even all chalcedonian Christianity.
The pope does understand the Bible, and he knows damn well that he’s misrepresenting it. That’s his job (and always has been).
Read the Bible, see for yourself. If you are short on time, just read Revelation (the last book).
p.s. my most hated comment ever! THANK YOU fuck the pope
Why should anyone care what the bible says?
Yes, please, read the apocalyptic fever dream of a crazy man as proof that god exists. I’m totally convinced!
This dude is fucking nuts. Revelation is easily the dumbest book of the bible to recommend.
Careful, or Pestilence will ride you down like a mangy dog, or something
It’s the only “cool” book the rest is boring nonsense.
The only people I have ever heard qout revelations, are nutters, and people trying to get money. It reads like biblical fanfic.
Thing is, they claim that they care about religion. Not sure how many deadly sins they are gobbling up with all of that because something doesn’t add up.
They’re def breaking every single commandment
You’all the number of times this administration has me fucking defending shitheads organizations because our idiots in charge are wrong, dumb, and morally off in BFE is too damn high.
Am I wrong, or is the thing the Pope said that has these freaks so upset basically like, “war is bad, don’t do it”?
I mean for fuck sake…
Just a distraction
Be kind to others
-Bible, New Testament’s teachings of Jesus
Being kind to others is evil, and it’s not what Jesus would have stood for!
-Republicans
Reminder: be kind to others
-Pope
The Pope is a libtard.

^My basic understanding of whats going on.
Ex-cultist here. Specifically, fundamentalist Christian in the US.
So what we’re seeing here is a division between in-groups and out-groups, and drawing that circle closer as a means of guarding against valid criticism. Consider; the standard response of most cults when they are under attack is to double down on its assertions that it is telling the truth. Most cults are built with a persecution complex as key part of exploiting their believers.
This tactic triggers their emotional response to rally to the defense of their cause, because “We’re under attack! We’re being hunted! The Worst Thing Possible is going to happen, and it is THIS PERSECUTOR’S fault!” This also forces a false choice in members who are doubting the leadership, forcing them to either cut all social ties and side with the enemy (they are trained to see this as a fate worse than death) or rehearse their dogma and rally without question.
Ex-cultist here
Congrats on getting out.
^My basic understanding of whats going on.
We were explaining different things. Where I was giving a general summation of events, yours explains the motive. 2 sides to the same coin.
Be kind to others -Bible
It also says “kill others”, you should read it. LOTS of instructions on killing
There are many reasons not to be murderous, the Bible isn’t one of them. Does it say “do not murder?” YES. Does it also say “murder”. YES. Many times. Throughout.
Fixed
bro, I am muslim so I have no idea how christian values work but even I can see this is heresy to an unbelievable degree. Your president calls himself the second Jesus, you cannot defend him against any religious person at that point, let alone the Pope.
Actually, for a fascist it’s very easy. When words dont really mean anything and your ideology demands no consistency you can say what you want and defend the indefensible. If you think that rational people would see through all that you’re right, but their followers arent. They’ve been trained for over forty years to be led by the nose by their media peer group. Be it conservative news or Facebook posts or green text or their local evangelical demigogue, whatever it is they will be told what they want to hear. Trump is right, and by extention they are right too. And to question it is to put at risk all the relationships they’ve built up over their lifetime. To be wrong is too risky, so they simply arent. And people like Sean Hannity can say whatever they want without question.
Well said. It’s brutal to see this happen to Christian family members. It’s impossible to penetrate
Where I’m at the Christians have mostly completely lost the plot. There’s this complete perversion of the faith called Prosperity Gospel that basically believes money is proof of divine blessing. So being rich is proof you’re in Gods favor.
Also where I am there’s is non-0 number of Christians who legitimately believe we/someone needs to rebuild ancient buildings in the middle east so Jesus can return.
It’s a death cult that believes money is proof that God approves of you. While simultaneously believing unending war/genocide in the middle east is a necessary evil. So they can just shrug their shoulders while people are slaughtered and say “God works in mysterious ways!”
Send help.
Send help.
This is a mess of America’s making.
You’re going to have to fix it yourselves.
(Unless it gets so bad that you guys are an existential threat to the rest of the planet - then the rest of the world might be forced to take action that nobody wants)
I understand, thoughts and prayers will suffice inshallah.
Gets so bad?
When the idiots invade Canada then we will come over to undo your failed experiment.
