LIVE: Sixth day of Pope Leo’s visit to Spain
Pope Leo travels from Barcelona to the Canary Islands where he will hold Holy Mass and meet with organizations working with migrants. The Pope visited Barcelona's Sagrada Familia on June 10 and inaugurated the newest of its soaring geometric spires that makes the modernist structure designed by Antoni Gaudi the world's tallest church. #PopeLeo #Pope #CanaryIslands #HolyMass #migrants #Spain #catholic #christianity #religion…

(continued from /30)
"an administration around him saying very nasty things about the Pope and about Europe who are whether you like it or not, whether you agree with Pedro Sanchez or not, these are the people who share our values the most and it's a core interest of the United States for Europe to be whole, prosperous, and free."
-
"And then lecture him about his interpretation of theology.
I mean, that's his one job. And so it just seems to me totally crazy. …And it speaks to where we are, which is why if you're an Italian prime minister and you've been close to Trump, but you're objectively observing the geopolitical environment around you, you see a president of the United States basically disintegrating," (continued in /31)

"I think that the Europeans have come to the conclusion that the United States is totally unreliable. But can we go back to one thing? I'm not an expert on this, but I have to say this. I mean, of all the things, of all the things, why would you pick a fight with the Pope? That seems to be politically the dumbest thing that you could possibly do. The Pope."

"'I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post.'"
As Holly says, it's hard to write satire these days when "reality" itself, as offered to us by the links of Graham, is ludicrous satire of, well, reality and truth.

Holly Berkley Fletcher links to and provides an excerpt from a satirical piece she has written saying that Franklin Graham blames Jesus for Trump's missteps with Iran and the economy. Then she notes that right after she published this, Franklin Graham said,
'I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate.'"

"Trump loses last friend In Europe. No, not Orbán. Meloni. He lost Orbán a whole three days ago! Get with it. …
Perhaps because he is senile and doesn’t understand things, he claimed of Meloni and Italy that 'They pay the highest energy costs in the world and are not even ready to fight for the Strait of Hormuz ... They depend on Donald Trump to keep it open.'”

"Trump returned fire directly — and on the same day, Italy suspended its defence agreement with Israel covering military equipment and technology exchange. The two moves together mark a clean break."
-
"It was a near-total reversal from a man who once called Meloni a 'beautiful young woman' who had taken Europe 'by storm,' who welcomed her as the only European leader at his inauguration, and who had described her as Washington’s essential bridge to the continent.
The trigger was sequence. Meloni publicly defended Pope Leo XIV after Trump attacked him, calling Trump’s remarks about the pope 'unacceptable.'”
-
"The political architecture Trump built in Europe is now visibly in ruins. On Tuesday, in a six-minute phone interview with Italy’s Corriere della Sera, Trump said he was 'shocked' by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, that he 'thought she had courage, but was wrong,' and called her 'unacceptable.'"

"On the heels of offending Christians and turning on his own base, Trump has now targeted former ally Prime Minister Meloni of Italy after she criticized his attacks on the Pope as 'unacceptable.'”

Pope Leo social media post today: 'God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there.'”

"Deputy [Italian] PM and far-right League leader Matteo Salvini - also a longtime supporter of Trump: 'If anyone is working hard on the issue of peace and resolving the conflict, it’s Pope Leo. Attacking the pope, a symbol of peace and spiritual guide for billions of Catholics, doesn’t seem like a useful or intelligent thing to do.”'
-
"Some now say that Trump’s display of animosity toward Leo will further erode his support among the Catholic voters in Rust Belt states, suburbs and border counties who moved toward the GOP in the 2024 election.”
-
"Trump’s decision to pick a fight with Leo, the first American pontiff, is the latest in a series of episodes this spring that have complicated efforts by Republicans to make the case that they are tackling what voters say is their central concern this year: the rising cost of living."
~ Filipkowski citing Politico
-
"Trump attacked Pope Leo XIV and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni today as he continues to burn bridges abroad and with Catholic voters in the US heading into the midterms. …
On the Pope: 'He doesn’t understand and he shouldn’t be talking about war because he has no idea what’s happening.'”

"Now the Pope is saying, Now let me tell you what the scriptures really say. And let me just meet you with the scripture. It's not my words. It's not my politics. It's not my policy. I'm just going to hit you with the scriptures. Blessed are the peacemakers, the children of God. Blessed are the meek."
"In a real sense, with Donald Trump, what you have at MAGA is a war on divinity."

"One thing that I love of what's happening right now is the Pope is not speaking as a political figure or as a politician. What he is doing is quoting the scriptures ans exposing these hustlers like Paula White and Franklin Graham and all the rest of them who have been hijacking the scriptures to pump this guy up and justify all their evil, their wickedness that they've been doing."

"He has such an inflated perception of himself And he has so many people around him that continue to feed this narcissism and this craziness. I mean, he's got these Paula White and Franklin Graham hustlers that are out there constantly referring to him like Jesus. So why are we surprised that he would put something like this on?"

It's a war between a Christianity that roots itself in Jesus and the gospels, a Christianity shared by millions of Americans of various confessional backgrounds, and a Christianity that totally ignores who Jesus was and what he said, and that twists Jesus to justify violence and to place "us" on the holy side as we obliterate "them."

It's not coincidental, I think, that Franklin Graham, who is a kind of pope for white evangelicals, would write Trump at just this moment when Pope Leo points out — clearly and rightly — that one cannot invoke Jesus to justify war.
There's a war going on here, for sure. It's a war between competing versions of Christianity.

"Perhaps coincidentally, on Palm Sunday, Trump posted a letter on Truth Social from Franklin Graham, the son of the late legendary televangelist Billy Graham, which assured him that his 'soul is secure' and he is 'bound for heaven.'”
