John Pavlovitz: Pope Francis Aspired to the Teachings of Jesus. Of Course, MAGAs are Celebrating His Death.
John Pavlovitz - Pope Francis Aspired to the Teachings of Jesus. Of Course, MAGAs are Celebrating His Death.

Now, in any normal period in America’s history, under any normal Administration, and from any other normal American politician, this kind of sickening dance atop a spiritual leader’s grave would be beyond credulity.
Unfortunately, nothing about this moment, this Administration, or this Republican Party is within a thousand miles of normal. In fact, what’s so stomach-turning is how on brand for MAGA these comments are. Their Christianity has no interest in or room for Jesus.
Now, let’s put aside the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene is about as much a Christian as Katy Perry is an astronaut, and let’s table the fact that right now, she should be in prison or a mental healthcare facility instead of Congress.
But is it any surprise that she and the rest of Trump’s Christian Cosplay death cult despised Pope Francis?
