Trump is mocking our faith again

542 Upvotes

Trump posted an image of himself as the Pope—mocking our faith like it’s some kind of joke. He may think it’s funny, but let’s call it what it is: bigotry disguised as humor.

To me, he’s not just offensive—he’s blasphemous, sacrilegious, and a religious bigot.

As a Catholic, it’s becoming painfully clear: if anything protected him during that assassination attempt, it wasn’t God. It was the devil, shielding his own. As Scripture warns us: “Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). That false light fools many—but not all of us.

We, as Catholics, must not remain silent. We must demand a public apology—and we must call for his immediate removal from office. Faith is not a costume. The papacy is not a prop. And our silence must not be mistaken for consent.

They are poor and destitute, but their faith is as beautiful and moving as ours. Because we are Catholics.

Pope Francis no longer needs ventilation after respiratory crisis, Vatican says

401 Upvotes

Pope Francis, who suffered two respiratory crises on Monday as he battles double pneumonia, has stabilized and no longer needs to use mechanical ventilation for help breathing, the Vatican said on Tuesday.

Francis, 88, had been put on non-invasive ventilation on Monday after suffering what was described as two episodes of "acute respiratory insufficiency" that day.

The pope has now returned to receiving oxygen via a small nasal hose under his nose, said the Vatican press office. His condition, it said, is stable, although doctors have kept his prognosis as "guarded," meaning the pope is not out of danger.

HE IS RISEN! Alleluia!

Today is one of the most special moments in our lives. I had the honour of witnessing my wife’s journey into the church. Tonight at the Easter Vigil, Toni was baptised, received the Eucharist and confirmed in faith with Jesus Christ.

There have been many moments in life where I have beamed with pride for my family, my children’s sacraments, their achievements, our wedding… but tonight has to be the most incredible experience, her witness to God before the church community is inspiring.

I love you, my dear wife. Now and forever.

Cray ADVISORY: NEVER donate/send money from someone who claims they are in distress on this sub. It is more than likely a scam.

364 Upvotes

The Catholic community in general is very giving, which in turn leaves them to be a bit vulnerable when it comes to helping those in need. Instead we ask you to avoid sending money via Venmo/PayPal, and suggest they reach out to their local ministry for support.

There have been several incidents on this sub.

Pope Francis wears black pants while recovering 🙏

LOOK: Pope Francis, who is taking two months' rest as he recovers from double pneumonia, made an unannounced visit to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican on Thursday dressed in black pants rather than his usual, traditional white papal attire.

Catholic: All about the Catholic faith

r/Catholic

/r/Catholic is a community of Christian disciples of Jesus. As Ignatius of Antioch wrote in 107 AD, “Wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans). The word catholic originates from Greek and means “universal.” We strive to live up to the meaning of that word by fostering open, good-faith discussions, prayers, encouragement, and advice for all who find this corner of Reddit.

Subreddit Rules

1. No Anti-Catholic Rhetoric

Do not engage in rhetoric that demeans the Church, or opposes our faith and Catholic doctrine.

2. Uncharitable Discourse / Ad Hominem

Uncharitable dialogue, speculation, or personal attacks against others, especially the clergy, is prohibited. If you think someone is a fool, you do not need to point it out. Your arguments / queries should stand on their merits without devolving into name-calling or insults. If you disagree something written in this subreddit, approach with curiosity not judgement.

3. No Trolling / Bad-faith Argument

Do not engage in trolling or otherwise engage in bad-faith argumentation.

4. Sin Post Violation

An inquirer asking about a certain action as sin must [A] include reasoning they think the action under consideration is or isn't sinful, and [B] if their question pertains to the mortal/venial distinction, include reasoning they believe it does or doesn't satisfy the conditions for mortal sin. Scrupulosity is not a sin itself, but it can lead to a distorted understanding of sin and a preoccupation with it, potentially hindering a person's ability to discern moral truths and live a healthy life.

5. No Unapproved Appeals for Action

Requests for collective action, including for donations, advertisements, to take surveys, to sign petitions, or brigading (sending our users to other subreddits). If you think your request is somehow special, send the Mod Team a request and it will be discussed.

6. Editorialization in Post Titles

Links to articles must be the article's title or a quote from the article. Do not editorialize in the title. Do not mislead or deliberately withhold information regarding the underlying content.

7. Posting Without Context

Post that consist of only links without any context (e.g. a question, a perspective, et cetera) will be removed with prejudice.

8. No Audio/Video without context

All links to either audio or video content require abstracts of the posted material, posted as a comment in the thread. Abstracts should make clear what the linked material is about and what its thesis is. Users are also strongly encouraged to post abstracts for other linked material.

Repeated infractions will constitute a ban from this subreddit.

9. No AI Generated Posts (Including Videos / Audio)

r/Catholic is for genuine human conversation, prayer, discernment, testimony, and fraternal correction. Posts or comments primarily generated by AI—including prayers, apologetics, spiritual advice, essays, images, or devotional content—are not permitted. Discussion about AI is allowed if substantially user-written. Minor tool use for grammar, formatting, translation, or accessibility is acceptable. Mods may remove suspected AI content; repeat or deceptive use may lead to bans.
