Catholic Church Declares War on Trump
The White House and the Vatican are embroiled in a Holy War. First – let’s address the infamous meme of President Trump wearing robes and appearing to heal someone. Many critics accused the president of pretending to be Jesus. They accused the president of blasphemy – including many so-called MAGA supporters.

As I pointed out – context matters. The original meme was posted by Nick Adams in February and there was a message attached about how President Trump was healing the nation. At no point did President Trump suggest he was Jesus. The president was asked about the controversy by reporters.
“We don’t like a Pope that’s going to say that it’s okay to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a Pope that says crime is okay in our cities. I don’t like it I’m not a big fan of Pope Leo he is a very liberal person and he is a man that doesn’t believe in stopping crime. “
Regardless, President Trump deleted the post from Truth Social – or perhaps it was just raptured off the page.
“I viewed that as a picture of me being a doctor in fixing — you had the Red Cross right there, you had, you know, medical people surrounding me,” said Trump. “And I was like the doctor, you know, as a little fun playing the doctor and making people better. So that’s what it was viewed as. That’s what most people thought.”
According to Trump, he only deleted the post because people were “confused.”
“Normally I don’t like doing that, but I didn’t want to have anybody be confused,” he said. “People were confused.”
Meanwhile, Pope Leo the Woke and his angry band of Cardinals using the media to attack President Trump’s policies on everything from Iran to the Border.
It’s important to understand context – the Vatican threw the first punches – not President Trump. Over the weekend 60 Minutes featured 3 cardinals who were definitely in the pro-illegal alien camp.
Last week David Axelrod, Obama’s former senior advisor and a longtime Democrat strategist met with Pope Leo XIV. Days later, Pope Leo is publicly attacking President Trump.
And on Sunday three cardinals appeared on 60 Minutes to rebuke the president’s immigration policies. I don’t believe in coincidences.
The pope has weaponized the Catholic Church to advance an agenda that promotes open borders and illegal immigration. They have also chosen sides in the Iran war.
Pope Leo the Woke has been blasting President Trump’s policies since 2025. He’s using the pulpit to play politics. And when President Trump finally pushed back – the pope played the victim card.
“The things that I say are certainly not meant as an attack on anyone the message of the Gospel is very clear “blessed are the peacemakers.” I will not shy away from announcing the message of the Gospel. I am inviting all people to look for ways to building bridges of peace and reconciliation. Of looking for ways to avoid war any time it’s possible.”
I’m actually impressed that President Trump held his tongue for as long as he did.
But he’s right – Pope Leo is soft on crime and he’s also a very liberal pontiff. This is nothing more than a coordinated attack on the president of the United States by the Vatican. And quite frankly, it is both distasteful, uncharitable and un-Christian.
Here’s what bothers me about all of this nonsense. President Biden professed to being a devout Catholic. And yet he used his administration to advance medical mutilation surgeries and the killing of unborn children. He unleashed the FBI on pro-life Catholics. Agents broke down doors, stormed private residences and even arrested pro-life grandmothers who prayed outside abortion clinics. The FBI also tried to infiltrate Catholic churches across the nation – tried to recruit priests to spy on their flock.
And just last week a group of nuns in New York sued the governor over a law that would force them to make their home for the dying compliant with transgender ideology.
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who run Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, New York, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the law they say would require them to assign rooms by gender identity, not biological sex; allow access to opposite-sex bathrooms; allow expression, relationships and identity practices; use preferred pronouns; require staff training in gender ideology; and post a public notice stating compliance with the law, Fox News reported.
Where was the Vatican outrage? Where was the condemnation? Why was there nothing but silence? So, with all due respect to Pope Leo the Woke – spare me your indignation.
One final thought on today’s homily: President Trump never throws the first punch. But he will throw the second punch. In this particular instance – the president showed great Christian charity. Because the woke pope has been attacking the president’s agenda since 2025. So, I’m not the least bit surprised President Trump decided to deliver a hell, fire and brimstone message to the Vatican.
As for the meme – politics is all about tone and tenor and timing. And the president’s Truth Social post was ill-timed and tone deaf. All that to say – I’m suggesting an eleventh commandment: Thou Shall Not Meme.
