Trump Faces Backlash Over AI Image of Himself Dressed as Pope
ai generated text
The conclave to elect a new pope is scheduled for May 7 in the Sistine Chapel. In a related development, US President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated photo on Truth Social following the funeral of Pope Francis.
That photo montage not only offends millions of faithful, but is also an attempt at very serious interference in the conclave that is about to open.
I'd like to be pope, that would be my number one choice.
President Trump flew to Italy to pay his respects for Pope Francis and attend his funeral, and he has been a staunch champion for Catholics and religious liberty.
As a general rule, I'm fine with people telling jokes and not fine with people starting stupid wars that kill thousands of my countrymen.
It's sad both for the White House and for the president.
Everyone has the right to religious freedom, not just the select few who practice this administration's preferred brand of Christianity.
The Bible tells us, 'Make no mistake: God is not mocked' (Galatians 6:7).
It makes sense in Trumpworld. He has been empowered by Catholics.
This might be new levels of audacity and disrespect, but many American Catholics have ceded a great deal of power and moral authority to the current president. Whether that makes sense to others, it's true.
