Overview

• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X about 'major shifts in global leaderships' and 'evil being defeated by the hand of God' hours after Pope Francis’ death on April 21, 2025.
• The post has been confirmed as authentic, but Greene has not clarified its intended reference, fueling speculation it may have been linked to the pontiff’s passing.
• Greene has a history of anti-Catholic rhetoric, previously accusing Catholic bishops of being 'controlled by Satan' for their pro-immigration stance.
• Pope Francis, who passed away from a stroke and heart failure, was a vocal critic of U.S. immigration policies, which Greene has supported.
• The lack of clarification has sparked public and media debate over the interpretation of ambiguous political messaging on social media.
