"A recent NBC News survey of 4,557 American adults gives Pope Leo XIV a net favorability rating of plus thirty-four. Donald Trump’s net favorability in the same poll is negative twelve. That is a 46 point gap between the first American pope and the American president — a gap measured during a month of sustained public attacks from Trump on the Holy Father."

Katherine Stewart says that a "recent trifecta of religiously themed Trump controversies" "exposes the nature of the so-called religion that animates the Christian nationalist movement that has sustained Trump in power." The trifecta: his attack on the pope, his Trump-as-Jesus AI meme, and Hegseth's slip in quoting Quentin Tarantino as the bible. #PopeLeo #Trump #WhiteChristianNationalism #WhiteEvangelials #Catholics /4 https://writekaths.substack.com/p/trump-v-pope
