Redditors discovering that the Pope means something to Catholics.
It’s truly amazing in a bad way once you reach a certain level of a-hole like nothing he can say anymore, truly raises an eye anymore. It’s just sick. He reminds me of the bad guy of the TV show The Boys. He could probably slit someone’s throat on stage and people would still cheer him on.
Meanwhile someone like Biden stumbles once on stage and his career is over.
Don’t get this wrong, Cenckiewicz is a particularly cynical person. They are just starting to realize that association with MAGA is toxic and would further worsen PiS performance in pools (which is already pretty poor).
Which ones Roman or Greek?
Honestly kind of wild that state officials are weighing in on campaign memes from another country. Maybe it’d help to see how Polish Catholic media are framing this, for comparison.
A lot of Magas looks at Trump as the second coming. It obviously went to his head like everything else, and thought he could take on the Pope. Weaponizing Christianity has been the road to success for Republicans.
“Trump then went on to say that ‘Leo should be thankful’ to him because the American was only chosen as pope due to Trump being US president… Shortly afterwards, Trump then published another post that contained an image appearing to depict him as Jesus healing a sick man.”
Let’s just take a step back and appreciate the sheer, clinical narcissism required for a politician to claim he personally appointed the Pope, and then immediately post AI art of himself as the literal Son of God.
But honestly, the absolute best part of this entire article is watching Fox News hosts and Daily Wire commentators completely short circuit over this. Megan Basham is out here asking if Trump is “under the influence of some substance” to commit such “outrageous blasphemy.”
No, Megan. This is just who he is. This is who he has always been.
This is peak Leopards Ate My Face material. American evangelicals and right wing politicians in Poland spent the last decade treating this man like a flawless, divine instrument sent by Heaven. They defended his affairs, his frauds, and his cruelty because he gave them the political power they craved. They literally wheeled a golden statue of him into CPAC.
Now they are suddenly shocked and offended that the guy with a literal golden toilet in his penthouse actually thinks he is bigger than Jesus?
You cannot spend ten years building a golden calf and then act surprised when the idol demands to be worshipped. They built this cult, and now they have to live with it.
Correction, insult to all Christians.
Polish president will stop simping for MAGA now ?
Considering the polish president is a Trump cocksucker, that’s quite the pickle for him.
Priest pedophilia is also an insult but gets, like Mick Jagger, a pass.
Remind me again who is best buddies with Trump apparently and who’s party was literally chanting “Donald Trump” in the Sejm?
And this kids, is why trump wanted to secure west Virginia votes by inviting Poland to the g20
« Trump then went on to say that “Leo should be thankful” to him because the American was only chosen as pope due to Trump being US president »
He really can make up anything, and there’ll be an audience to gobble it up, even though it’s demonstrably false…he could say the sky is green on a sunny day, and his followers would believe it.
That orange shit as a world leader is an insult to the world.
The amount of people who are conflating Catholics with all Christians is astounding. America is a Protestant country.
Trump does not insult catholics or catholicism. He IS an insult to humanity.
Not even Mussolini had the fucking balls to go against the Pope lmao
Jesus? Is he blind? That’s a doctor /s
Ah yes, the religion of peace.
The Second coming on earth’s prophecy says :”GRAB THEM BY THE PUSSYYYEEAAH” 🤟🔥🤟
America isn’t a Christian country, and the people supporting MAGA and Trump are certainly not Christian but some of the biggest hypocrites and heretics going.
The States was founded by some of the biggest misfits and weirdos that even European Christians couldn’t even stomach, with dangerously entrepreneurial mindsets to go with it to make money off the back of Christianity. Look at Dr Kellogg who was so obsessed with MGM and children/teenagers and their privates, that they ritualistically circumcise babies for no real reason in too many states.
They’re superstitious, and use religion in vain, to support whatever thoughts they have and what actions they make in an attempt to not have to deal with the consequences or to ask questions. Nothing else. In Europe we went through an age of questioning established thoughts and religion itself. In America they battened down.
The Commandments are particularly forgotten about. Do not worship false idols, love thy neighbour etc fall on particularly deaf ears.
If there is a hell, it will have a lot of Americans (particularly MAGA Americans) showing their true faces, mainly because the plastic would have melted away the moment they stepped through the sooty gates.
there is a bloody good reason why churches dont pay taxes and why you DO NOT do shit like that
Is there no church state separation in PL?
What an awfully written title lol
The national security advisor to Polish President Karol Nawrocki, who is a conservative Trump ally, has criticised the US president for his social media posts attacking Pope Leo XIV and sharing an image that appears to depict Trump as Jesus.
“President Trump’s post (and the graphic attached to it) regarding His Holiness Pope Leo XIV exceeds all norms and is an insult to the Vicar of Christ, and thus to all Catholics!” wrote Sławomir Cenkiewicz, head of Nawrocki’s National Security Bureau (BBN), on X.
In one of the posts in question, published by Trump on his Truth Social platform late on Sunday, he accused the pope of being “WEAK on crime and terrible on foreign policy”. It follows recent criticism by Pope Leo of US attacks on Iran and Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilisation.
“I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela…And I don’t want a Pope who criticises the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do,” he continued.
Trump then went on to say that “Leo should be thankful” to him because the American was only chosen as pope due to Trump being US president. “Leo should get his act together as Pope,” he concluded.
Shortly afterwards, Trump then published another post that contained an image appearing to depict him as Jesus healing a sick man.
The posts, and in particular the image of Trump as Jesus, have caused anger among many Christians, including some US conservative commentators. “I cannot understand why he’d post this,” wrote Fox News host Riley Gaines. “God shall not be mocked.”
“I don’t know if the President thought he was being funny or if he is under the influence of some substance or what possible explanation he could have for this OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy. But he needs to take this down immediately and ask for forgiveness from the American people and then from God,” said the Daily Wire’s Megan Basham.
In Poland, Catholicism is the dominant faith, with [over 70% of Poles identifying as Roman Catholics](https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/09/29/proportion-of-catholics-in-poland-falls-to-71-new-census-data-show/) in the last national census. The church has played a significant role in Polish history, and continues to exert influence over politics and society today.
Nawrocki has enjoyed close relations with Trump since launching his successful bid for the presidency last year. He was [invited to the White House](https://notesfrompoland.com/2025/05/02/trump-meets-polish-opposition-presidential-candidate-at-white-house/) to meet with the president during the campaign, while Trump’s then homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, flew to Poland to [endorse Nawrocki](https://notesfrompoland.com/2025/05/27/trump-security-secretary-noem-endorses-polish-conservative-presidential-candidate-at-cpac-poland/).
After taking office in August, Nawrocki’s first foreign trip was to again [meet Trump in the Oval Office](https://notesfrompoland.com/2025/09/03/trump-suggests-moving-more-us-troops-to-poland-at-white-house-meeting-with-nawrocki/). Last month, Nawrocki flew to Texas to [speak at CPAC](https://notesfrompoland.com/2026/03/28/polish-president-warns-us-conservatives-of-russia-threat-in-cpac-speech/), the major annual conservative political conference in the US.
However, Cenkiewicz’s criticism of Trump is now the second time in the last two weeks that one of Nawrocki’s senior advisors has voiced opposition to the actions of the US president.
Marcin Przydacz, the head of the president’s International Policy Bureau, recently [said](https://notesfrompoland.com/2026/04/01/us-should-have-shown-respect-by-consulting-allies-on-iran-says-polish-presidential-aide/) that the United States could have shown “a minimum of respect” by consulting with its allies before attacking Iran, rather than expecting support “when problems arise”.[](http://www.stumbleupon.com/badge?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnotesfrompoland.com%2F2026%2F04%2F13%2Fpolish-presidential-official-criticises-trump-pope-attacks-and-jesus-graphic-as-insult-to-all-catholics%2F&title=Polish%20presidential%20official%20calls%20Trump%20pope%20attacks%20and%20%E2%80%9CJesus%E2%80%9D%20graphic%20%E2%80%9Cinsult%20to%20all%20Catholics%E2%80%9D)

Arguing with the Pope is such a stupid unforced error too. This should be on the same list as going against a Sicilian when death is on the line and getting involved in a land war in Asia.
I’m an atheist in a mostly Catholic country and this is obvious. What a petty little man. Cognitively decaying.
A lot of Catholics voted for MAGA
I don’t understand why they only speak of catholic outrage. Shouldn’t every christian denomination, including evangelical, be chocked?
Surprised they haven’t done a King Henry and set up their own branch ye,t with the Satsuma Sex Pest as king and god
Polish politician calls a spade a spade
A very dangerous and powerful man repeatedly paints himself as God.
Catholics: “That is blasphemy! It’s offensive to us!”
My brothers in Christ, maybe, juste MAYBE the issue here is that a very dangerous and powerful man repeatedly *PAINTS HIMSELF AS GOD*, not the potential blasphemy that only you care about.
Thank you Poland!
Trump causing a catholic schism is the funniest imaginable outcome of the presidency
As well as an insult to intelligence.
I would questtion the demon beast thing flying in from above him. . .
