OMG. Just watched Elise Stefanik on CNN.

This Catholic "lifelong sister in faith" is very disappointed with the Pope and wants him to stay out of Trump's business. They actually voted for this in NY? Hey Elise, Trump's cheeto encrusted ass needs another tongue bath.

And I'm glad Leo is the one fighting our side. American Christianity has drifted so far from Jesus's teaching that someone had to make a stand and call them on it.

Trump is a mean, angry, hate filled, violent man. He's morally depraved, and spiritually bankrupt. He's directly or indirectly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths (USAID included).
No Catholic should be defending Trump in any way.

Stefanik was in a very republican district. She is from a "family" business, tied to construction. She was their princess.

At the beginning of his first term, she opposed the felon on several issues. But in an attempt to promote her career, she soon became a maga cult member. Keep in mind that the felon had planned to put her in an administration position .... but that was before he saw that she had gained significant weight. He made extremely rude comments and decided to pass over her, saying they needed her vote in the House. Wounded, she announced she would run for governor, before recognizing she would be humiliated and dropping out.

Why anyone would care what she says, much less interview her, is beyond me.

24. Time to name it: The American Catholic Nationalist Rite
Wed Apr 15, 2026, 12:57 PM

A new Rite of Catholics.

For those unfamiliar there are many rites of Catholicism, some in Communion with the Pope, and others independent.

Clearly there is a very specific American Rite. Trump is their “bishop” and they are not aligned with Pope Leo. This started with Pope Francis, and is now fully manifest. Call it what it is.

Wed Apr 15, 2026, 01:00 PM

https://www.catholicculture.org/Culture/library/dictionary/index.cfm?id=36321&randomterm=false

"SCHISMATIC

According to Church law, a schismatic is a person who, after receiving baptism and while keeping the name of Christian, pertinaciously refuses to submit to the Supreme Pontiff or refuses to associate with those who are subject to him. The two factors, submission to the Pope and association with persons subject to him, are to be taken disjunctively. Either resisting papal authority or refusing to participate in Catholic life and worship induces schism, even without further affiliation with another religious body. Like heresy, schism is formal and culpable only when the obligations are fully realized."

The teaching of Jesus seems political simply because what Trump is doing and wants to do is antithetical to the teaching of Jesus.

33. Will she accuse the Pope of anti-semitism too?
Wed Apr 15, 2026, 01:27 PM

Wiki:
Known for her pro-Israel beliefs, Stefanik gained national attention in December 2023 for her aggressive questioning of university presidents during a widely televised U.S. congressional hearing on antisemitism, which contributed to the resignation of Liz Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania. Stefanik was awarded the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson Defender of Israel Award by the Zionist Organization of America. She has supported the view that Israel has a "biblical right" to the occupied West Bank.[1]

She may be a "lifelong sister" but I'm not sure it's of Catholicism or true Christianity. She's vile.

Catholics give us a glimpse of how their
priest pedi abuse stays silent until it just can’t any more. They support the child abuse to protect the power. The Stefanik’s, JD’s And Mumbles the neck Penis czar would watch child rape from a priest and cheer him on.

very rural, mostly uneducated, and the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum is near. New York State, if not for NYC, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, would probably tip red. Rural areas are almost entirely red.

Believe me, she's thought of as a waste of space by Blue New Yorkers.

Rhiannon, for one. I know what it's like living among republicans. I grew up in a rural, red district in western New York. I gradually migrated to a blue college town in NY after retirement just to save my sanity.

Give her hell, OK?
