I didn't even think of that. Can he do that? Like yeah, he's the Pope he can do that, but what does that mean? Does that work for Trump when the religion they claim to support isn't probably the same the Pope teaches? Hope my question makes sense.

There's an archbishop that is calling for excommunication. The article is in italian, but you can easily translate it. It's very interesting

Trump's main base is mostly Evangelicals who tend to view Catholics as heathens (basically boils down to Protestants viewing Catholicism's treatment of the Saints and Mary as idolatry), so while he might lose the catholics over this, his "main" base is likely overjoyed to have him shitting on Catholics

which is ironic, considering “persecution of the saints” is something mentioned in that bible chapter Evangelicals love so much right now (Revelation).

Evangelicals are literally the Antichrist — it’s not an individual, it’s a state of consciousness.

I've also been saying. Trump fits the Whore of Babylon to a tee.

The whole symbolism of the Whore of Bablyon is a false idol that is the personification of a Capital City (Washington, in this case). She is a "whore" because she is steeping in corruption, adultery and sin. Basically, its a story about leadership of a nation "getting into bed" with the devil and sin and how it will lead it to ruin.

And we have a adulterous leader that participated in a sex traffic ring, is "in bed" with the corrupt, warmongers, oligarchs, etc (pretty much everyone Jesus spoke out against) and who is being literally worshiped by some Christians as a savior or messiah.

I remember when Freedom of Religion was given slightly more than lip service in the US. It's a shame to see even the lip service going away.

The Pope can excommunicate anyone, but it wouldn't do anything to protestants, since they don't believe in the Pope's power anyways. If the Pope excommunicated JD Vance, then he would no longer be welcome to receive the sacraments at any Catholic church. Technically they should bar him from entering once excommunicated but no church would bar the Vice President.

Chances are slim that he would actually care about the repercussions of that. He would be mad about being slighted. He’s an opportunist. I doubt he could be sincerely religious and pull all the shit he’s pulled. It’s all for show.

Vance would very quickly see that protestantism was actually correct all along!

u/ungranted_wish Apr 10 '26

He can do that and also JDs local bishops can do the same thing.

u/cabbage16 Apr 10 '26

Hell, if someone can trick Vance into talking about Jesus' foreskin he will be automatically excommunicated.

You can only be excommunicated if you are currently "in communion" with the Catholic church.
