716: The President vs. The Pope and Bri Stensrud

It's been another week of deranged comments and posts from the President. This time he has targeted Pope Leo by accusing him of being weak on crime and catering to the radical left. Mr. Trump followed up by posting an A.I. image of himself as Jesus. The outrage was swift, including from his own MAGA supporters, but are they actually to blame for his messianic self-image? On Palm Sunday, the Pope said Jesus does not hear the prayers of those who wage war. Most assume he was referring to the Secretary of Defense's wrathful prayer for U.S. troops in Iran. Defenders of Pete Hegseth's prayer say he was just quoting the Bible, so what's the problem? Bri Stensrud, the director of Women of Welcome, explains why conservative evangelical women are rising up to support the dignity of immigrants and refugees even as many of their churches remain silent. Also this week—caffeinated cocaine sharks are roaming the Caribbean.   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview with Bri Stensrud: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155624095/   Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155629230/   0:00 - Show Starts   2:08 - Theme Song   2:30 - Sponsor - BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
