I would never suggest the Catholic Church would hold a grudge or take reactionary actions because of a mentally handicapped imbecile in the White House, but still... sort of a classic FAFO moment in response to the picture of Trump dressed as pope to name an American with strong liberal values from Chicago (also known as a city Trump hates because of President Obama). (Joking OOBVIOUSLY!!!)

Good luck to Pope Leo XIV, may he lead long and continue the work started by Pope Francis and continue the purge of the odor left by Pope Bennedict as well.
