USA Today pokes at the MAGA crowd.

Is Pope Leo XIV a 'WOKE MARXIST POPE'? He is if you're a Trump supporter.

Well, MAGA, it looks like you got yourself another "woke pope" to contend with.

In the right-wing loon-o-sphere, the reaction to Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost becoming the first American-born pope has been one of outrage and disgust. Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who is regularly in President Donald Trump’s ear, posted of the new pontiff: “WOKE MARXIST POPE.”

Hardcore Trump supporter Ryan Selkis, a former crypto CEO, shared past social media posts believed to be from the new pope. They included things like support for George Floyd and criticism of Trump’s family separation policy. Selkis wrote: “A new woke pope. BLM. Kids in cages. Suicidal empathy. American who mostly posts en espanol.”

Who knows, maybe they’re just upset other places keep choosing leaders who stand against much of what Trump stands for.

Yup. The only solution is, a New World Order with Trump in charge. Obviously.

But if he would rule the whole world, he can't slap tariffs on other countries.
We can't have that, can we?
And where to deport people he doesn't like to than?
Bad idea.

I bet the overlap between crypto bros placing the bets and knowledgeable Catholics is almost zero. Just goes to show a consensus without actual experts is worthless.

You think that Trump will go there voluntarily? I like that idea.
When does he leave?

If Trump is deporting people to Mars, why would he want to live there?

The new pope is not a fan if AI.

The New Pope Is Deeply Skeptical of AI

Pope Leo XIV, the newly-crowned first American pope, is keeping the social costs of rapid AI advancement front and center.

The newly-annointed Pope Leo XIV — formerly cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago, Illinois — revealed this weekend that his name choice was inspired in part by AI, which he sees as a possible threat to human rights and justice.

As Business Insider reports, the Chicago Pope took time during his first Sunday address to share how AI shaped the symbolic task of choosing his papal name. The last Pope Leo, Leo XIII, headed the church amid the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, an era defined by rapid technological advancement, rampant labor exploitation, severe wealth inequality, and public health crises.

During his papacy, Pope Leo XIII was deeply concerned with the collateral social damage wrought by unchecked technological innovation. Now, seeing similarities between the technological shifts of centuries past, Leo XIV is ready to pick up where his immediate predecessor, Pope Francis, left off, holding the potential social costs of AI advancement front and center.

Time for a blast from the past: this old film footage shows Pope Leo XIII. in 1896 at age 76, so the Leo that came before Robert Prevost.

He is as far as we do know the earliest ever born person captured on film. Born in 1810 in Italy, so 215 years ago Leo XIII. was around when Napoleon, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, van Gogh and many others were alive. He died at age 93. Many consider him the first modern pope. He was pope for 25 years, 3rd longest term ever.
