“Do Not Mock Us” – New York Catholic Conference Condemns Trump After He Shared AI Photo Dressed As Pope

The New York State Catholic Conference has issued a strong rebuke of a recent social media post made by a prominent political figure. The post in question featured an image that appeared to mock the Catholic Church and the solemn process of the papal conclave, which is underway following the recent passing of Pope Francis.

The New York State Catholic Conference, in a direct message on social media, stated, “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.”

The statement from the Catholic organization conveys a clear sense of offense and disappointment regarding the imagery shared online. Coming at a sensitive time for the Catholic community, which is mourning the loss of its leader and preparing for the significant event of electing a new Pope, the post has been perceived as disrespectful and insensitive.

The identity of the individual referred to as “Mr. President” in the statement is clearly visible in the embedded image as a verified social media account belonging to Donald J. Trump. The image depicts him wearing attire reminiscent of papal robes and gesturing with his finger raised.
