If that were the case, Prevost was a strange choice.

Well it’s a dumb idea. The left hates religion for the most part and the conservatives in the Catholic Church aren’t voting for someone that supports abortion and immigration.

The leftist in the church are voting left anyways and were never going to vote right. I view the liberals as fake Catholics anyways

No but seems the last pope took a lot of interest in American politics and offered up his political commentary often.

Francis made it about Trump. He also made it about his own word instead of the God he was supposed to serve.

rally the patriotic and religious right


The religious right is primarily Protestants who believe that Christians have a personal relationship with God via Jesus and not via a Pope.

That does not mean that Catholics cannot have that same personal relationship, so that is not meant to be a dig at all Catholics or the religion in general. That is more of me and many Christians not understanding how the Catholic religion came to be what it is as we see from the outside looking in, considering the New Testament and Jesus' and the writer's critique of legalism and pomp over action. That said, Catholic charities do give a lot of money to their charities.

To people who hate Trump... EVERYTHING is about Trump. This guy is going to be more outspoken and adversarial to the Trump admin than Francis. Book it. Sit back and watch for a few months and I'll admit I was wrong, if I am wrong. I'm about 99.9% sure I will not be proven wrong.

Some contingent? Like the 108 out of 133 of the Cardinals that were appointed by Pope Francis and voted for the new Pope?
