(110,301 posts)14. And even the Knights of Columbus has sided with the Pope on this.
In recent days, many Catholics and other people of goodwill have been deeply disappointed by the disparaging comments directed at Pope Leo XIV by the President of the United States. The Successor of Saint Peter is not a politician — he is the Vicar of Christ, entrusted with proclaiming the Gospel and shepherding souls.
The Knights of Columbus has always stood in solidarity with the Holy Father, recognizing in him a spiritual father who calls the world not to division, but to unity, not to conflict, but to peace. In this moment, we reaffirm that commitment with clarity and conviction.

Maybe they expect the same treatment from the Catholic Church that Hitler got back in the 1930s...

I don't consider either abortion or birth control to be immoral; I believe the Pope does.

I believe he is only supposed to be considered "infallible" when speaking ex cathedra.

Anyone with morals would be against Trump. He is the most corrupt person ever in the WH.

Yes. Ultimately, it is about the values and not about any supernatural claims.
