It didnā€™t take long for right-wing media figures and MAGA provocateurs to cry out in rage over the election of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV after it was revealed that heā€™d publicly criticized JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd.

Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the ā€œWOKE MARXIST POPEā€ and complained that he is ā€œworse than Francis,ā€ referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.

Even before the ā€œdark horseā€ American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevostā€™s views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.

    That is a very protestant view of the afterlife. Some Christians share it, some donā€™t.

    Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. ā€¦whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. Matthew 25:41ā€“43 (NIV)

    Be kind to others or burn forever. At least thats how I would read this.

        Yeah, itā€™s a wild concept, I agree with you. Arenā€™t there denominations that think your soul goes into hell for a couple of hundert million years untill your sins are purged (the German word is Fegefeuer, no idea how that translates) and then you go to heaven? That sounds at least a bit more reasonable.
