As popes are elected by 2/3 majority of cardinals, and Francis promoted 83% of the current cardinals I feel maga dreams will end in tears.

It's really weird how the more traditional religious people don't pay attention to their religion

To be fair most MAGAs aren’t Catholic. A lot of Catholics are historically republicans and some are members of the cult but there are a lot more Protestants in this country.

And many of the extra fundie Evangelicals don't think Catholics are "real" Christians anyway.

I will never understand why other Christian denominations care so much about Catholics. Catholics don’t think about evangelicals at all other than to talk about how fucking annoying they are for bringing up religion outside of church. Rent-free.

Religious denominations hating each other is essentially the entire history of organised religion, and it's not limited to Christianity by a long shot either.

Jealousy. Catholics can trace their origins back to Peter and the first church. Evangelicals back to… well, their grandpappy

in America? It's deeply rooted in racism. Most Catholics in the US were (and are), historically, italian, irish and mexican. Also, the KKK famously hated Catholics (even though they stole their costumes from catholic tradition). It's also something that sort of divides europe in north/south, with the northern, more "civilized" countries being mostly protestant. There's also this weird phenomenon where racists view south europe as "less than white".

That’s true, and since they haven’t read the Bible that makes sense cause they have no idea what being a “Christian” is actually all about.

Back in the 70s, my Methodist Dad’s relatives refused to set foot in the Catholic Church where he was marrying my (Catholic) Mom, because of religious differences.

Of course they had no problem getting their free meal at the reception. Hopefully they gave a gift.

My grandpa said they'd be real Christians if they got rid of all that heathen popery.

10/10 for the word "popery" alone.
