He’s an evangelical, so the only requirement he has is saying ‘I’m a pastor.’ This particular one already has a litany of controversial quotes and, like many evangelicals, is staunchly anti-catholic, calling them a satanic Babylonian cult at one point.

It may seem obvious but the guy is a pastor, not a catholic. The pope does not exist in his world.

Just as there are Americans who are not enamored with Trump who are not getting the media spotlight, there are Christians reacting negatively. But the media is focusing on the Maga Nationalist Christians. It's simply more profitable to focus on the extremists.

Here are some examples that the media has only touched on lightly.

"While I'm at it, I'm going to say what I feel right here. I wish the president of the United States would clean up his language. I wish he would stop insulting people. A leader should not give himself to insulting people all the time, and using foul language. And while I'm at it, I'm going to finish: everybody in the White House cusses except two women that say they are born again. But they're all foul mouthed. Let me tell you what the Bible says: "From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." Listen, don't you dare get being conservative mixed up with being a Christian. Conservative does not mean Christian. You can be pro-life, you can be pro-Biblical family, you can be pro-Israel and die and go to Hell. You can be all of that stuff and that does not make you a Christian. Folks, I am a Christian. I am not a white Christian. You're not a black Christian. I'm not in a white evangelical movement. There's no such thing as a black church. We are one in Christ. There is neither male nor female. There is neither black, or white, or slave, or poor. We are all one in Jesus Christ. No! Go ahead and praise the Lord! Don't talk about the people that represent you. They don't represent me."

He criticized Donald Trump and the Southern Baptist Convention's response to a sexual abuse crisis. Then he found himself on the outside.

Who is he? Russell Moore was one of the top officials in the Southern Baptist Convention.

During his Sunday sermon, Pastor James Rigby who leads St. Andrew’s Presbyterian in Austin, he noted that people have “mixed feelings” about the shooting but affirmed, “It’s really really important if we are going to be the healing agents of the world to realize that violence is not going to get rid of the problem that we have.”

“I said last week, if violence could have gotten rid of racism, the Civil War would have worked,” he continued. “But if you look at the Bible Belt and the heart of the MAGA movement, it is the Confederacy. The America they want to get back to is the Confederate States of America, not the United States of America.”

The pastor further stressed that “It’s very important that even as we fight for justice, even as we protect each other from this fascistic movement, that we not do to them what they're doing to the rest of us.

The Bishop of Palm Beach Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez wrote on X on Thursday: "The renewed attacks directed by President Trump against our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, are entirely inconsistent with the Pope’s longstanding witness to justice, peace, and the dignity of every human person."

Rodríguez has previously criticized Trump's immigration rhetoric and policies

“I think a lot of moderates, a lot of centrist Republicans and Democrats, are saying, ‘This is not right,'” Hamilton told Religion News Service. “Whether it’s how we treat immigrants and making people afraid in our own borders, or the rhetoric that comes out of Washington, or cutting programs like SNAP and other programs that affect low-income children and families in America, I think there’s a lot of pastors and a lot of Christians who have just said, ‘This is not us.'”

Edit: inserting dates so that you can see it's not all recent, but has been going on for years. Yes, I did focus on a lot of the recent ones. And this is not all, I simply got tired of typing. It's tiring reporting on what the media resists reporting.

Well, everyone who calls him a Christian, is the issue. He is a sect leader.

And the Pope would probably only reference a few specific passages, probably doesn't even know any others. If President Trump said he loves them all, then CLEARLY he's read them all!

Atleast my stock in Orville Redenbacher is doing well...

They're salesmen.

What they're saying is only "crazy" if it fails to move units. And this guy seems to have been very successful at moving merch

Makes you wish it were real, just so he'd go to hell.

"You shall not put the Trump, your God, to the test."

You referring to the pastor or Trump?

It's not clear he even reads English. He might be as illiterate as Trump.
