Europe’s Conservative Catholics Won’t Put Up With Trump’s Attacks on the Pope
Il Fatto Quotidiano: Maggioni a La Confessione di Gomez (Rai3): “Trump pensa che chi lo contraddice debba essere distrutto. Infatti tutti tacciono”
“Trump pensa di essere l’uomo più potente delle terra e dei cieli. Chiunque si permetta di frapporsi fra lui e quello che sta facendo viene distrutto”. Così Monica Maggioni ospite a La Confessione di Peter Gomez, in onda sabato alle 20.20 su Rai3, a proposito dei ripetuti attacchi del presidente americano a papa Leone XIV. “Il Papa ha fatto il Papa, ha detto ‘non si fa la guerra’ e questo per Trump è inaccettabile“. L’ex direttrice del Tg1 e storica inviata della Rai, ha poi proseguito: “Elettori e cattolici americani stanno reagendo male, non so quanto Trump lo abbia calcolato. Quelli intorno a lui non hanno il coraggio di parlare” ha concluso Maggioni, che dal 20 aprile tornerà in prima serata su Rai 3 con ‘Newsroom’.

Maggioni on Gomez’s Confession (Rai3): “Trump thinks that anyone who contradicts him must be destroyed. Indeed, everyone is silent.”
Trump believes he is the most powerful man on earth and in the heavens. Anyone who dares to stand in his way is destroyed. That’s what Monica Maggioni said as a guest on La Confessione di Peter Gomez, broadcast on Saturday at 8:20 PM on Rai3, regarding the repeated attacks by the American president on Pope Leo XIV. “The Pope has done what a Pope does, he said ‘war is not done,’ and this is unacceptable to Trump.” The former director of Tg1 and historic correspondent for Rai, continued: “American voters and Catholics are reacting badly, I don’t know how much Trump calculated this. Those around him don’t have the courage to speak,” Maggioni concluded, who will return in primetime on Rai 3 with ‘Newsroom’ starting April 20th.

"Most notably, there is a strong racial and ethnic divide among Catholics: six in ten white Catholics supporting Trump each time he has been on the ballot, but six in ten Latino Catholics have supported his Democratic opponents."

"While white evangelicals have voted more than 80% for Trump every time he has been on the ballot and have held strongly favorable views of Trump through every controversy and outrage over the last decade, Catholics have been more measured in their support."

"I don’t believe President Trump understands the political risk of picking a fight with Pope Leo XIV. My best guess is that he believes that the unquestioning submission demonstrated by his fawning white evangelical followers exists among all of his Christian followers. But Catholics are not white evangelical Protestants."

Sarah Stankorb looks at the role AI slopaganda has been playing in the meme wars involving Trump and his identification of himself with Jesus. She says,
"It is not ironic that a man who dwells so constantly in falsehood might double as a false idol. What’s a surprise is that this was the time some finally noticed."

"American Catholics have increasingly thrown in with Christian nationalism over the last decade. If they are asked to choose between Trump and the Catholic Church, some significant percentage of them are going to choose Trump.
