Here is Pence’s tweet:
One of my greatest honors as Vice President was the hour I spent with Pope Francis at the Vatican in January 2020. @KarenPence and I join Catholics around the world Praying for this humble and godly man. God Bless the Holy Fatherš pic.twitter.com/4TNWQi9Ksq

This guy is questioning Pence’s Christianity:
I have heard from people in my theological circles that you were truly a Christian. You even attended a church pastored by a friend of mine. To see you affirm Roman Catholicism and say the man who thinks he is Head of the Church and the Vicar (substitute) of Christ on earth isā¦

Not an evangelical?:
āThe Holy Fatherā? Your entire political career you have been promoting yourself as an āEvangelical championā. You are in zero way Evangelical, let alone Biblically Christian, if you consider the pope āHoly Fatherā.

āAnd call no man father which is on earth, for one is yourā¦
And the hits keep coming:
Only the enemy of the Gospel calls someone on earth, āfatherāālet alone holy father. Your Father is in heaven, if you have ever known Him.

Any faith which deviates from the tenant of salvation by faith alone in Christ alone is considered a cult.
If the Roman mother-son cult deviates from that orthodoxy– and it has and does– then what we have is a cult, not a denominational difference.
Disagree?
Thenā¦
In case you've forgotten, Mike, the Protestant Reformation happened because of the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

Mr Pence, would the Mike Pence of 2014 have done this or not? You need to do some serious soul searching, because the man that my Indianan friends praised when I was in college is somewhat a different picture than what I saw (and voted for once) in White House office and after.

Thereās only one Holy Father, Mike. And Iām pretty sure He doesnāt dress like that.

This is why so many Christians like me have lost respect for you. What kind of a Christian refers to any man as "the Holy Father?" That's blasphemous! God alone is our Holy Father. To pin that label on a false teacher of another religion is very wrong. Why would you do that?

Mike, Roman Catholicism is the greatest counterfeit of Bible Christianity in all of history. Please donāt call him holy father.

He is not "The Holy Father." Catholics and Christians are not the same thing Mr. Vice President. Do not get them confused. He also is not godly. He actively supports LGBT.

Um, heās a heretic, Mike.

As a Protestant Christian, I would think you would know this.
It it āgodlyā to anathematize the gospel? pic.twitter.com/znFolY5hJ1
It is a shame that you profess to be a True Christian and then post something like this. Either you are naive or an imposter. The Pope is not a Christian and by you posting this it makes you suspect too.

@Mike_Pence Any respect that I had for you following the 2020 election has now been completely lost. May God open your eyes to see His truth. šāļø

You literally sat down with the Antichrist and called him the "Holy Father???!!! You continue to discredit yourself!

Evangelical fraud, @Mike_Pence , slithers back to his mama Church and pays homage to the Vicar of hell: "God Bless The Holy Father" – Mike Pence https://t.co/Poe5yF8BmD via @YouTube

I wonder what these people think of J. D. Vance.
One of several reasons the “Christian nationalism” program is heading toward choppy waters. A significant percent of the kinds of folk who will be pushing for such a program are some inveterate yahoos, frankly, and their yahooism isn’t reserved for “secularists” and scientists and the higher critics. It zeroes in on anything that deviates from its orthodoxy, and it isn’t gentle in its corrections. Getting all those people together is going to look like the ideological equivalent of Lebanon in the 1980s.
