This would make a difference here but there aren't many true Catholics in the US anymore.
My grandmother was a devout Catholic her whole life, even winning an award for her service to the church.
When the last Pope condemned Trump's border policies in his first term, her response was the Pope needed to mind his own business. I'm glad she died before Trump's second term.
Same.
Pope Leo is literally American, so presumably some US Catholics trust in his leadership and agree. Not all Catholics are like Cardinals Burke and Dolan.
It certainly doesn’t hurt. There are still plenty of Catholics listening to what the Pope says, especially at the Catholic schools and colleges across the country.
the thing is, is that in North America, alot of people are christans now, and follow the bible VERBATIM and dont consult the pope or other religious figures for clarity or, if you could call it this, errata. There's a video going around of some christian dude saying that its christian to say slavery is not wrong, yet this is not true for roman Catholics, there needs to be a hard line drawn between the two, as the former is what is a majority of trumps voter base, the the later find what they do is a bastardizaion.
