Be angry at the legitimately harmful stuff

I am.

he's a 100% irredeemable evil hypocrite because he's a religious figure and head of state

Way to put words and sentiments in my mouth lol.

While I'm not a fan of theocracies under any circumstances, I'm never going to BEGIN to suggest that being a theocracy is one of the 50 worst thing about the reverse Robin Hood atrocity factory that is the Catholic Church.

I dont particularly give a shit if he's the head of state and head of the religion

I mean, it's not like I APPROVE the least bit but yeah, I totally agree that it's very small potatoes compared to all the radioactive horse apples..

He seems to broadly support the extremely recent (in comparison to the Catholic Church) understanding of the separation of church and state.

Does he, though? I mean, if he does, he's the epitome of hypocrisy.

Might as well tell me that Miss Rachel is a zionist who can't stand kids or Bill Maher is a devout Muslim who hates attention 😄
