It didn’t take long for right-wing media figures and MAGA provocateurs to cry out in rage over the election of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV after it was revealed that he’d publicly criticized JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd.

Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.

Even before the “dark horse” American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevost’s views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.

    That is a very protestant view of the afterlife. Some Christians share it, some don’t.

    Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. …whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. Matthew 25:41–43 (NIV)

    Be kind to others or burn forever. At least thats how I would read this.

        Yeah, it’s a wild concept, I agree with you. Aren’t there denominations that think your soul goes into hell for a couple of hundert million years untill your sins are purged (the German word is Fegefeuer, no idea how that translates) and then you go to heaven? That sounds at least a bit more reasonable.
