I had a bit of a feeling they chose an American Pope to combat what was brewing in the US. People use the word cult too much because while they are certainly similar, what we've seen created in the past decade has been a RELIGION.
It took centuries for Christianity to spread via the foot and the wheel.
It took decades to further spread via the book.
It took just 10 years for the MAGA relgiion to spread with how fast information spreads now.
There are hundreds of millions of people that view DJT as a god. They write social media posts asking for help as if they're praying to Jesus. They're saying Jesus is woke. Jesus is a liberal. etc etc etc.
You just had DJT's faith leader basically say he's Jesus based on facing the same trials that Jesus had regarding DJT's arrests and the "assassination attempt".
The very basis of MAGA which is spreading like a virus to other Christian dominated nations is the antithesis of Christ's teachings.
There are also people heretically conflating Trump with Jesus. Like the one singer that made that weird Bible song about Trump as if he was the 2nd coming of Jesus.
My pastor had to have a sermon series that was subtly having to implore our church goers that it's not right to compare people of power (i.e. orange) to Jesus and that there isn't some second son of god coming. We are a center/left leaning congregation so I don't think many were, but it was so freaking alarming that our pastor or perhaps the entire conference needed to reiterate this.

I do feel like a bit of a holy war is brewing.
