Former White House chief strategist
and ultraconservative Catholic Steve Bannon said Friday Pope Leo
XIV's election as first US-born pontiff had been a vote against
his old boss Donald Trump and that Leo was the worst choice for
the Catholics in the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
"The worst choice for MAGA Catholics", the election of Leo XIV
"is an anti-Trump vote by the globalists of the Curia", said
Bannon, former chief strategist during Trump's first term,
Politico reported.
Bannon, a week ago, had predicted the election of Chicago-born
Cardinal Robert Prevost, who also has Peruvian citizenship due
to his long missionary work in the South American country..
In an interview with British anchorman Piers Morgan, Bannon had
indicated the Augustinian maths and theology graduate and former
head of the Vatican department that appoints bishops as a "dark
horse", an outsider pushed by the alleged "powers that be" which
the MAGA movement identifies in the so-called 'Deep State' and
'Deep Church'.
