The election of Leone XIVfirst US pope of history, freezes the world Sorceress (acronym for “Make America Great Again”, Trumpian movement, editor’s note) and the fringes ultra -care of that American Catholicrisking putting in difficulty Donald Trump and his very devoted deputy JD Vance despite their congratulations.
The conclave has chosen the least American of US Cardinals and in any case the other side of theAmerica Trumpiana: son of immigrantsan important experience Missionary in Perua manufacturer of “bridges»(Not walls therefore), one who on social He chose both the president and his number two on deportationsalso siding against the death penaltythe proliferation of weaponsThe Climate Change. And sympathizing with George Floydthe African American brutally suffocated by the police.
In short, a figure who seems to be the antithesis of theAmerica Firstof theStars and stripes isolationismof the Cut cuts in humanitarian aideven if more conservative on topics such as the family or thegender identity.
Speaking to almost 60 million American Catholicswhich in recent years have moved to the right and in 2024 they voted mostly (59%) Trump, the new pontiff He could undermine the consent of the Tycoon precisely on the fundamentals of his platform and popularity: this time the voice of a American Pope It would be more difficult to ignore or attack.
For this from the movement of the Trumpian base The first immediately started bordered. One of the president’s most important Catholic allies, his former strategist in the White House Steve Bannondefined Leo XIV the “worst choice for sorceress Catholics: it was a anti-trump vote by the globalists who manage the Curia. It is the pope who Bergoglio And his clique wanted, “he accused the Guru of the American far rightwho had predicted the election of the Cardinal Prevostindicating it how ‘Dark Horse‘, a outsider driven by those strong powers that the Maga Movement identifies in the so -called ‘Deep State‘ And ‘Deep Church‘.
He echoed him on x theconspiracy influencer Laura Loomer, Trumpian iron and super trusted councilor of the US President, despite not having any official role in the administration: «It is anti-trump, anti-Magaa woke in favor of Open borders. Is a convinced Marxist as Pope Francis. Catholics have nothing good to expect: another Marxist puppet in the Vatican ».
Also the Conservative magazine The Spectator He writes that «the College of Cardinals made it clear that Rome He is not a fan of the president », wondering in the title of the editorial if Leo XIV both part of the “Trumplash», Ie of the global resistance To the American president.
On Social in the USA it is a flourishing of accusations And Complotualist theories in line with the opinions of Bannon and Loomer, even if for someone he could go “worse», For example with the Filippino Tagle cardinal and his «Progressive disk moves on the altar».
However, not all the allies of Trump were disappointed by the choice: theInfluencer MAGA Charlie Kirk consoles himself with the fact that he said the Pope is republicanhaving voted – as the electoral registers – at Grand Old Party primaries In Illinois in 2012, 2014 and 2016 (then at the time of Obama and then of the victorious ascent of the Tycoon).
Among the attacks on the new Pope also the accusations of having coveted cases of sexual abuse committed by priests When he was in Peru and Chicago. A “orchestrated campaign from the ultra -conservative sectors of the Church », he claims El Paisreporting that the Congregation for the doctrine of faithafter conducting an in -depth investigation of cases before the conclave, “concluded that the conduct of the newly elected Pope was impeccable».
The election of the new pontiff has also alarmed the LGBTQ+ community for his conservative positions regarding family And gender identity. In 2012, speaking to the bishops, he said that i western media and the popular culture promote «sympathy for beliefs and practices in contrast to the Gospel: note, for example, like the Alternative families composed of homosexual partners and their adoptive children are represented so benevolently and compassionate in the television programs and al cinema». As Bishop in Peru He also hurled himself against what he called “the Promotion of gender ideology»In schools, which, according to him,« try to create genres that do not exist».
