Sean Hannity Dragged Hard After Announcing He 'No Longer Considers' Himself A Catholic Due To Pope Leo

On Thursday night, Sean Hannity—Fox News talking head and sycophant to MAGA Republican President Donald Trump—launched an attack against Pope Leo XIV.

Hannity accused the first Pope from the United States of feigning "selective moral outrage" and calling him a "run-of-the-mill, Trump-hating Democrat" lacking in moral clarity and biblical knowledge.

The Trump ride-or-die declared:

"The Bible contains over 400 references to war, frequently depicting God as authorizing, commanding, intervening in battles like one that we all know, the battle between David and Goliath. Why is the pope twisting religion to specifically attack only President Trump and the U.S.?"

Hannity added:

"Why did he recently meet with top Obama advisor David Axelrod and the far-left governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker? Is it because he’s a run-of-the-mill, Trump-hating Democrat that lacks moral clarity about radical Islam?"

Pope Leo XIV has never yet referred to Trump or any member of his administration by name, instead condemning any leaders that prioritize war and conflict over providing for the poor, the sick, and the future.

But, as the saying goes, a hit dog will holler.

Everyone in Trump's camp apparently recognized the description of warmongering despot, and claimed the Pontiff could only be speaking about Trump.

Then on Saturday, Hannity declared he had an important message for the Vatican:

"Now, I do want to shift gears with a message to the Vatican tonight, specifically to Pope Leo, who has openly condemned America's war in Iran while seemingly enjoying a public fight with President Trump."

"First, let me give some context. Like millions of Americans, I was raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I even attended a seminary in high school, studied theology, Latin, and went to Mass daily."

The Trump sycophant added:

"As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic."

You can see Hannity's comments here:

While Hannity's Saturday declaration was dramatic, he seemingly forgot he already publicly declared he was no longer Catholic on his now fiancée Ainsley Earhardt's Fox Nation program.

Back in December of 2019, in a Christmas edition of "Ainsley’s Bible Study," Hannity revealed he'd left the Catholic Church years prior and as of that appearance considered himself an Evangelical Christian. Hannity proposed to Earhardt in 2024 at an unidentified Evangelical Christian church in Florida they referred to as their home church.

In 2020, Hannity and Earhardt disclosed their relationship, with reports saying they'd been secretly dating for years. Hannity divorced his wife of 26 years in 2019. Earhardt also divorced her second husband in 2019.

On the Christianity subReddit, people called BS on Hannity's performative announcement.

Hannity joined other conservatives, including members of the Trump administration, in condemning "woke" Pope Leo to prop up Trump.

We can't wait to see how long it will take Hannity to forget about this and drop the Catholic Church ... again.
