Pope Leo Terrifies Trump & the Christian Nationalist Right
Mike Nellis
By now, Im sure youve seen that Donald Trump took it upon himself to not only attack Pope Leo by name but also post an insane AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ healing the sick. Its offensive, its bizarre, and it says a lot more about him than I think he realizes.
But theres a deeper conversation herenot just about Trump, but about what he represents, how his movement operates, and why Catholicism, at this moment, poses a real threat to the version of Christianity that many in MAGA are trying to promote.
For those who dont know, Im a practicing Catholic with a complicated relationship with my faith. I found my way back to it when Pope Francis ascended, and I started going back to church more consistently after Pope Leo took over the Vatican last year. My faith matters to me. It shapes how I see the world, how I try to show up for my family, and why I believe in the kind of politics I do.
I can trace most of my values back to that foundationeven during the periods when I drifted from it.
