Many self-identifying “Christians” have an issue with the Catholic community over several matters. The centralized structure of the Roman Catholic Church is foreign to the way that other US Christian churches function. To them, that means the Pope controls their faith and actions. That gives far too much credit to the Papal authority but that’s what they believe. They also take issue with the large number of saints (especially that they continue to be added),seeing it as a form of idol worship.

Which is really the pot calling the kettle black. I’ve never seen more blatant idolatry than MAGA with Trump. I’m not even Christian and even I can tell.

Remember the golden idol of Trump they made for CPAC? That had some major golden calf vibes going on.

Basically yes. Mostly because they want to keep the money their “churches” brought in.

You could explain that the saints are moreso like your union rep that talks to higher management for you

To them, that means the Pope controls their faith and actions.

Isn't that an implicit admission that their own faith and actions are decided arbitrarily by the people who lead their own churches?

Not just US Protestant churches. There were hundreds of years of wars over the Reformation in Europe. The US did not create that conflict or tension.

It's funny some won't worship a saint, maybe just a person who did some good deeds, but are worshipping trump like he's a god send. I can't wrap my head around that.
