I wish a higher moral authority than the boss of the Catholic church criticized Trump, but at least it's something.
Last count there was about ~1.3 billion Catholics (back in 2021), not counting other denominations that recognise the Pope. As far as moral authorities go there aren't many that have that much sway.
If conservatives become chastized by the Pope for unchristian behavior, they will not abandon unchristian behavior. They will reject the Pope.
