Tough act to follow

This new pope will not be popular with Trumpists because they aren't religious but instead in a cruelty cult. Christian nationalism is a cancer which combines religion with politics to create a molotov cocktail of stupidity. 

Using their logic Jesus becomes a victim of what they love to call the "woke mind virus" and already the reaction from the right has been foul and entirely expected. 

These people don't like the Jesus of the Gospels because he ministers to the poor, the sick and the hungry which directly opposes American republican politics of greed and individualism. It is why they have needed their own version of religion to combat against a Christ which they see as a communist because he is too meek and too welcoming.

So already Leo has his detractors which cannot be helped because the world is replete with imbeciles. 

His mission should be to minister to the masses in the most inclusive way possible in a world that is more divided than ever.
