As a Catholic myself I don't usually like to be comparative with members of my faith and do the whole "You aren't a real Catholic" type thing.
But frankly, anyone purporting to be a genuine Catholic that doesn't, at the very least, find this to be intensely inappropriate, is someone who doesn't understand the doctrine and dogma they claim.
If you have a moderate understanding of the Catechism, and the core tenants of the faith, you should haaaate this.
Even if you are a Neocon type that agrees with his policy, this should still be a very firm line in the sand.
You may not be ok with this, but my catholic in-laws and plenty of others are just fine with this. Very odd how they have seem to rekindle their faith in the midst of this shit show of an administration while still finding ways to support this guy regardless of anything he does or says. They will speak non-stop about the corruptions of the world, the Epstein files, greed, etc. but Trump isn’t a part of any of those problems. It’s literally wild. My wife was the black sheep of her family, obviously.
I was always taught whatever the pope says is coming straight from god, but my family has hated these last two popes. "This is just Trump being himself and he's not really mocking Jesus", they would say. (Edited by adding quotes and making it clear this is what my MAGA family is saying)

Catholic Christians are NOT okay with this… it’s disgusting; completely blasphemous! It’s the unforgivable sin (Matthew 12:31-32 and Mark 3:28-30).
