(no disrespect intended to the late Pope, who I always thought was a good man!)
Not a Catholic myself but will also admit that if you must have a Pope, he swerved very strongly from "least worst" directly into "ok, he's not bad, considering all the history etc.".

The Washington Post - Scroll through Trump’s new covid website - and have your mind blown
22 April 2025
Scrolling through Trump’s latest foray into history-washing.
A new website launched last week, covid.gov, and even though an editor once told me that writers should never instruct readers to “drop everything and look at this,” because then readers might never return to their articles, I must now ask you to drop everything and go look at this ...
We [must] all understand that we have been hoodwinked by a massive government conspiracy, and only the 47th president - who had nothing to do with anything covid-related - can save us. ...
This was a normal government website until just a few days ago, and now, boom, everything that was once carefully vetted and fact-checked is gone. It’s a full-scale rewriting of history, using official government channels.

The Washington Post - The new Sun King
23 April 2025
Every U.S. president has adapted the Oval Office to suit his taste.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt placed an animal hide rug on the floor. John F. Kennedy, a World War II naval officer, hung seascapes on the walls. And Barack Obama featured indigenous ceramics on the shelves.
But Trump has gone golden, taking the office into baroque and rococo realms typical of 17th- and 18th-century French monarchs. An analysis in the Cut called the decoration “An Interior Designer’s Nightmare.”
But the sparkle conveys something more insidious about how Trump views himself.
Behold the new Sun King, a wannabe emperor who views his powers as absolute - who governs by executive order, and has been recorded giggling in his gilded chamber with Salvadoran autocrat Nayib Bukele [see above] as his administration defies a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that he facilitate the return of a Salvadoran immigrant who was wrongly deported.
God save us from the king.

The Washington Post - The 5-Minute Fix - Trump officials may know where millions of immigrants live
today
As the Trump administration continues to face challenges to its deportation plans, DOGE got approval to access a highly sensitive dataset that contains the addresses of millions of immigrants.
It’s a huge win for Trump officials.
The Post has reported they’ve been mining everything from the Social Security Administration to Medicare to tax information to job and housing data to find out where undocumented immigrants are living and working ...
This latest dataset, from the Justice Department, also contains any case histories immigrants may have, which could provide Trump officials with reasons to cite when deporting migrants.
Big Brother Is Watching 😦😟😒😒
