Marc Cox Soapbox: Trump-Pope Clash, Media Narrative, and Catholic Voter Divide

from The Marc Cox Morning Show

In the Marc Cox Soapbox, Marc argues that criticism of Donald Trump from Catholic leadership is part of a coordinated political narrative following tensions with Pope Leo XIV over Iran policy. He points to David Axelrod visiting the Vatican and bishops appearing on 60 Minutes as evidence of political messaging aimed at dividing Catholic voters ahead of midterms. Cox contrasts the Church’s criticism of Trump with what he views as silence on abortion, Iranian regime violence, and border security, while also referencing shifts under Pope Francis on immigration, same-sex unions, and church tradition. He closes by urging listeners not to be distracted by media narratives and to focus on broader issues like nuclear conflict, border policy, and abortion.
