Pope Donald

January 16, 2021

Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church which states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the pope when appealing to his highest authority is preserved from the possibility of error on doctrine “initially given to the apostolic Church and handed down in Scripture and tradition”. In other words, the Pope never makes a mistake. In the eyes of his followers, Donald Trump has become the Pope of the far right, lunatic fringe. Whatever dog whistles he puts out become dogma. Trump believes that he never has to apologize because he is never wrong. Trump has made it clear that there was room in town for only one Pope when he attacked the one sitting in Rome.

The Pope leads a worldwide religion where converts are free to come and go. The Pope does not use his awesome powers to lead them in a religious war. The Catholic Church is far from perfect, but you don’t see the Pope leading a group of atheists up the steps of the Vatican. Donald Trump is a cult leader. He is ready, willing, and able to lead his sycophants over a cliff. Once they hit bottom, it will be very hot and it won’t be St. Peter welcoming them into the gates of heaven.
