Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.

Lmao I love how folks are telling the VOICE OF GOD ON EARTH that he's wrong.

(I'm an atheist and don't believe it, but this whole situation is hilarious.)

Catholics are not real "Christians". So they dont believe in the Pope's position or respect the Pope.

I cannot fathom telling a guy who has dedicated his life to the church though that he doesn't understand the bible. Then again that is the republican MO, if you think you know better than an expert clearly you do.

I'm going to be pedantic, but it's the exact opposite of what you wrote. Catholics are a branch of Christians, who give more importance to the role of saints and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, among other differences.
So you should actually argue that they are not really Catholics, if they don't recognize the authority of the Pope.

I had to read their comment a few times, but I think when they said "they," they were referring to people like Hannity.

Catholics are not real “Christians”. So they dont believe in the Pope’s position or respect the Pope.

Like "according to people like Hannity, Catholics are not real Christians. Therefore, people like Hannity don't believe in the Pope's position or respect the Pope"

Definitely a strange way to word it.

Thing is, they claim that they care about religion. Not sure how many deadly sins they are gobbling up with all of that because something doesn't add up.
