As much as the Catholic church gets a bad rap, and regardless of the fact that we is well earned, his anti-Trump sentiment greatly disturbs Catholic MAGA.

I heard a Catholic family member express their happiness that a new pope is on the way.

Surely the Pope of all people doesn't need secular medicine. His boss will cure him. Right?

Catholics Church is actually pro science, it is those other Christian sects that force us choose between creationism or evolution.

Catholics Church is actually pro science

Any organization that officially recognizes miracles in 2025 is not pro-science. And I'll let that little Galileo matter slide because it was a long time ago and I guess people can change, and I'm charitable.

Being pro-science means being 100% committed to the scientific process. All the time. The Catholic church, like all churches, is a peddler of bullshit that happens to posture as a modern organization with modern thinking that fits the times, for survival.
