Trump will invade Vatican City.
This is not the kind of Popeing he paid for.

USA will ask how the shareholders will cope.
MAGA: He is neither a true American nor a true christian.
Down with the red sox! Down with the cubs! Down with the pope!!
/s
red sox are boston. white sox are chicago
Sorry, not American. Just what percolated in my mind about the pope being a fan of something
nah no worries. it was just me doing my own overly invested in this shit goof. wasn't like… trying to demand compliance to our ways of being
No can do. Gotta bomb brown people to protect pedophiles.
American Christians: "Oh my god! The pope is a commie socialist woke antifa!"
Many christians: "Oh my god! This Jesus was a commie socialist woke antifa!"
Among evangelical hardliners it's not an uncommon belief that the Pope is the Anti Christ, so...
But donald trump isn't for some...
what a coincidence as peter thiel is coming to europe tour to give talks on the ANTI-CHRIST.
while evangelical ignoring someone like THIEL who is obsessed with the anti-christ.
I mean, every single time they have assumed the Pope is the Antichrist in the last 50 years they've been wrong, so surely this time.

I suspect you think you're being satirical but as an American myself, I can guarantee there's a significant amount of Americana saying exactly this.
For many christians, "christianity" is a social club they strongly belong to, not an actual religion. They don't give a fuck about what the bible is actually trying to convey, they just use the bible as a tackboard to pin their own beliefs and desires onto.
That's rather pointed as there is only one first world country that does not have universal healthcare.
Sort of. A lot of us (countries) have some kind of public healthcare, but it's not really universal.
From experience in Australia: dental isn't included, physio is limited, out of pocket costs can be large for non-hospital visits because it's not a public system just a private subsidy model (mostly), wait times for "elective" surgery can be way, way longer on the public system because private health is permitted to exist and the public system is underfunded/understaffed.
What's worse is that private health cover is allowed to just cover the difference between public and private, meaning even if you go private, the public is still paying. Like, you wanna be private, fuck off and go be private then... (Talking to the private healthcare advocates, not the people. I have some level of private healthcare cover, even though I think it's a fucking stupid system)
List goes on.
It's WAY better than the US, but I refuse to call it universal.
Sorry Pope, there’s no money in that. Signed - insurance companies and Donald j Trump (because he likes his name in everything)
Except the Epstein files...
Something tells me he’s not embarrassed about that. He just hates it’s not his narrative.
How many Catholic hospitals are there?
How much wealth does the Vatican have stashed away?
he can LITERALLY do more than just "urge".
What is he supposed to do? Finance a coup?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Catholic_hospitals_in_the_United_States
EDIT: there are 110 pages on that Wikipedia list of Catholic hospitals in the USA, but I don't know if every one of them is still catholic or not.
Edit 2: no one actually knows how much money the Vatican has .... the Vatican bank is subject only to Vatican law
I fully support socialized medicine for all. One question though, the church owns and operates numerous medical universities and hospitals. Are they really cool with universal healthcare?
To be fair, church-owned hospitals are pretty much closest thing to universal healthcare USA currently has. Government chipping in with their own universal healthcare would relieve a lot of cost, paperwork and trouble from the church.
We do. There are like 3 countries that don't... Oh yeah, makes sense.
One of the most Christian things I've heard from a pope in quite a long time
As an American, he would be familiar with the consequences of not having it.
Yeah, that ship has sailed, hit an iceberg, and sunk.
CAPITALISM!...yay?
