„MAGA-Kirche“ gegen den Papst: Vatikan-Experte sieht Spaltung – und prophezeit böses Erwachen für Trump
Ähm, diese "MAGA-Kirche" gibt es längst, die New Apostolic Reformation mit 33-35 Millionen Anhängern allein in den USA.
Und nein, es ist keine Kirche, sondern eine überkonfessionelle neo-charismatische Bewegung. Die NAR will keine Kirche gründen, sondern bestehende Kirchen und Gemeinden "reformieren".
Es gibt ja dieses von Trump gepostete KI-Bild, das ihn in der Pose eines christlichen Helden zeigt.
Viele meinen, er sehe sich selbst als Jesus, aber ich denke, er sieht sich da eher als einen von Gott gesalbten Wundertäters, nach den Vorstellungen der New Apostolic Reformation, dass jeder Christ, der richtig glaubt, die selben Zeichen und Wunder vollbringen könne wie Jesus.
During the discussion, the small group of #Pentagon & #Vatican officials discussed their differing views of current events, according to people on both sides with knowledge of the conversation. What is less clear is how adversarial the meeting was.

Cardinal’s meeting at #Pentagon was ‘unusual,’ #Vatican official says
Through the first year of Trump’s 2nd term, tensions between his admin & the Vatican — with the first #US born #pope — have simmered.

#Hegseth Says #US #Troops Are Fighting for #Jesus. The #Pope Disagrees.
In sharp contrast to the #Trump administration’s calls for #Christian prayers for the #war effort, #PopeLeo XIV says #military domination is “entirely foreign to the way of Jesus Christ.”

In general, the #FirstAmendment prevents the government from restricting #speech because it dislikes the content or message. But #SCOTUS has said certain restrictions aimed at governing a person’s conduct are permissible even if they incidentally burden speech. [if those restrictions adhere to the justices’ own ideologies.]

“I don’t approve of cramming your #religious faith down people’s throats, & when the top of the chain couches these operations in this hyper-#Christian tone, it flies in the face of the #FreedomOfReligion that the #Constitution enshrines & that our men & women in uniform sign up to defend.”

“The Secretary’s prayer services undoubtedly improve morale for those who choose to attend & are constitutionally protected. No special treatment or punishment is given as a result of one’s choice to attend these prayer services.” [sure, Jan.]

The Pentagon’s shift from previous historical norms is dangerous, according to multiple former high-ranking #military officials, heads of #chaplain corps, some #veterans groups, current #Pentagon staff & current officers, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid retribution from the #Trump admin.

His social media profile & public comments routinely espouse *his* understanding of #Christianity, which is one that would dominate American life & cast those who disagree with him as God’s enemies. #Hegseth has brought clergy from his small Christian denomination to preach at the #Pentagon, including a prominent pastor who says #women shouldn’t have the right to #vote.
