1. Fake like every other fucking Fake

thing associated with the Traitor.

2. Kinda perfect though....

Fake Nuns supporting a fake Christian, who also pretended to be President. Makes total sense.

[lame54]

3. They represent republican morals - None

4. hmm

That nun story is from 2020. Snopes says the women claim they are nuns from an order called "Children of Mary". However, they are not recognized by the Catholic church.

The church doesn't recognize these other trumpy nuns either:

As for the claims about the nun's real identities, all I can find is the exact same image from a site called IFunny Brazil.

5. Thank you for the info!

6. Thanks. nt

7. So no, they were not actors or "fake nuns" ...

... but actual real nuns, just not from a papal sanctioned group. Also other nuns celebrated TFG, and one spoke at the Republican National Convention, claiming that he was "the most pro-life president this nation has ever had."

Naturally there are also very good nuns, balancing the demands of the Pope while being activist for social change and against war - and sometimes also these get thrown out by the Pope.

14. They are literally fake nuns

Just like Mel Gibson goes to a fake Catholic Church. I am a flaming atheist, but was raised RC and taught CCD for quite a while. Not santctioned means not actual.

16. ... but since I myself do not obey the Pope

I do accept that these women were living in a convent as nuns. Like other nuns in bad standing with the Godfather though, but still living and acting as nuns. Whatever the Pope decide about this, will not rule my world. I know, as I wrote, of other free nuns (and munks and priests), who are still doing what they believe are Gods work anyway, and even more so for this.

But I would have liked the Pope to kick out those other so-called "real nuns" who supported Trump, thanks!

18. They are cosplay nuns.

So to speak.

17. Thanks for the info. I'll leave it up.

20. Those three nuns were representatives of a real group of Catholics ...

... a Public Association of the Faithful authorized by the local diocese. They are called the "Children of Mary", and are basically only found in Cincinnati, founded about twenty years ago.

Their presence openly supporting Trump raises questions about their moral and theological formation, of course, but no more so than it does for a number of other Catholics, whether lay, religious, or clerical.

They are not nuns, technically, I do not mean to imply they are “faking” or “playing dress up”. Most people refer to all consecrated women or women religious as “nuns” and this is technically incorrect. Nuns are monastic, and only one small subset of the much broader category of consecrated women. These are a canonically legit order at the diocesan level.

8. What? No red hooded capes?

[Funtatlaguy]

9. I'd like to know if that black guy who often is behind Trump at rallies

holding a BLACKS FOR TRUMP sign is a paid performer.

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. I wondered if he got fake people of color. nt

[Tommy Carcetti]

19. Oh, he's a real something.

He was a part of a cult and once accused of murder.

10. It's all like show-biz to him. Actors at that escalator scene, actors filling

seats at rallies. He thinks TV ratings when he appears somewhere are more important than how the craziness he supports will affect people other than him.

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Appearances matter more than reality to the conman.

Gotta grab attention, no questions asked. Paid supporters help make it look real to the unsuspecting. Then the Dip starts talking.

12. He's resorted to fake nuns???? Is the token black guy still there? He must be on salary.
