You are just a man, realDonaldTrump, and one day you will face our Lord Jesus Christ. You say our Holy Father, Pontifex, is weak, but it takes more courage to do what is right rather than what you want, said Father Joseph DeMarzo of the Diocese of Paterson, New Jersey on X.
“You acted in Venezuela under the excuse of stopping drugs and criminals from coming into our country, and when Nicolás Maduro was in power, you called his regime narco-terrorism,” he added.
“My issue is with the names you use. Do you think changing words can make your actions look good? That’s exactly what you did.”
“In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu twist the real meaning of justice with your ongoing war crimes, all under the cover of ‘self-defense,’” DeMarzo continued.
“But with God, there will be no changing of words or meanings—only the truth of what actually happened.”
“You call the Holy Father weak because he speaks for peace?
What is weak is bombing children in Gaza for the sake of national interest,” he wrote. “What is weak is claiming this is God’s country, yet acting as an enemy of the cross.”
DeMarzo also questioned Trump’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially Operation Warp Speed and the vaccines.
He said that “questions and debates” are still ongoing about the vaccines. While we disagree with that view, it was Trump who brought up the issue of COVID protocols during his attack on Leo. And as DeMarzo noted, Trump was the president when the virus first hit.
“Guided by Christian love, I beg you to repent,” the priest wrote.
“We are first Christ, not MAGA. Our main loyalty is to God and His Kingdom. Are you God first or MAGA first? If you are truly God first, why do some of your actions contradict that? If you go after the Church and the Holy Father, @Pontifex_de, don’t think I will stay quiet. I only fear God.”
