OMG, you mean Voldemort can't blow the Pontiff a little sheet!

Do you think this post is funny? I don't find any humor in it. I suppose the Isrealis do. But many in the Tribe aren't huge fans to begin with...I mean of the Pope. For Christs sake! Are you that clueless.

Sorry...that was very insensitive me. Again...very sorry.

Trump makes wild claim defending Jesus-like AI post, refuses to apologize to Pope Leo over Iran war dispute

President Trump refused to apologize Monday to Pope Leo XIV amid their public fight over the US-Iran war, with the commander in chief claiming the leader of the Roman Catholic Church had “said things that are wrong” — after defending a shocking Truth Social post depicting the president as Jesus Christ.

“I thought it was me as a doctor and it had to do with the Red Cross,” Trump told reporters about the since-deleted image, arguing that “only the fake news could come up with” the holy connection.

“I just heard about it and I said, ‘How did they come up with that?’ It’s supposed to be me as a doctor making people better, and I do make people better. I make people a lot better.”

The president then doubled down on his attack against Leo, saying: “He was very much against what I’m doing with regard to Iran, and you cannot have a nuclear Iran — Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result.”

“Iran wants to be a nuclear nation so they can exterminate the world. Not gonna happen.”

Trump also accused the pope of being “very weak on crime” during an impromptu press availability after posting similar criticisms on Truth Social Sunday.

“There’s nothing to apologize for. He’s wrong,” the president emphasized.

Pope Leo has condemned US military action in Iran and expressed “deep concern” after the daring capture and extradition of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro in January.

“I will continue to speak out loudly against war, looking to promote peace, promoting dialogue and ⁠multilateral relationships among the states to look for just solutions to problems,” the American-born Holy Father said earlier Monday.

While not naming Trump, the pope has stated that he’s not interested in “getting into a debate” about geopolitics, but rather spreading the “message of the Gospel,” which isn’t “meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing.”

“Too many ⁠people are suffering in the world today. Too many innocent people are being ⁠killed. And I think someone has to stand up and say there’s a better way,” he said.

Trump dismissed backlash against his since-deleted Truth Social post that appeared to depict him as Jesus Christ.

But Leo added in a more direct rebuke that he “has no fear of the Trump administration.”

That administration’s relationship with the Catholic Church has been strained at points, including last year when the US Conference of Catholic Bishops denounced the White House’s hardline immigration policies.

Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic convert, told The Post’s “Pod Force One” this past October that he’s sought to reconcile his faith with his political office and agrees that immigrants should be afforded “a certain respect and a certain dignity” but that “doesn’t mean we should let them illegally immigrate into our country.”

Vance is also due to release a book in June detailing his own conversion to Roman Catholicism after having “lost” faith in the Christianity of his childhood.

Trump said in 2020 that while he “was confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a nondenominational Christian” — and hasn’t backed down from criticizing past pontiffs, including Pope Francis.

During his 2016 campaign, the future 45th president said Francis calling into question his personal faith was “disgraceful.”

The pope had said amid the presidential run: “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.”

Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty co-founder and US Catholic priest Robert Sirico said in an X post Monday that “the Church’s mission is not to micromanage Pentagon strategy or crime bills.”

“Let the Holy Father preach the Gospel of life and peace upholding a horizon toward which all people can be drawn,” Sirico said, “and let the President govern according to the oath he took before God and the Constitution.”
