John 21:15-19 Do you Agapas Jesus?

I read a meme that was shared by the Episcopal Church, which took John 21 (verses 15 through 19), and changed Peter to modern American Christians (I presume), as if Jesus asked them if they loved Jesus. It was such hogwash that I did not bother to copy it to paste here.
First of all, it was an example of morons taking text written in Greek and translated into English (badly), where they then abort the English into worthless paraphrases that are so far away from what was truly written, it has no religious value, as far as the truth of Christianity is concerned. In this regard, the point of this conversation has Jesus asking about agapas, with Peter responding with philo. Those are two different types of “love,” which a meme pulled out of someone’s ass does not have enough space to explain.
Second, chapter 21 of John’s Gospel is a vision, like a divinely inspired dream, not something that physically took place. This makes Peter be more than that one disciple, who loved to be seen by the other disciples as Jesus’ ‘right-hand man.’ Peter is then more than the ‘modern American Christians’ the meme targeted, but the fuc*in* Episcopal Church. No, Episcopalians do not “love Jesus.” They prove it by never being seen with a Holy Bible on their person. Who needs to read Scripture, when it is easier to just make it up?
Third, the third time Jesus asked Peter if he Phileis him, when Peter responded with philo (a third time), all Jesus said is “Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.” The meme had Jesus with words crammed down his throat that implied Jesus would tell a ‘modern American Christian’ to welcome every MS-13 tattooed criminal being rounded up by all the law enforcement agencies under Trump, when they were not allowed to do so under the false president that was elected by fake ballots in 2020. Show you 'love Jesus' by welcoming some criminal to prostitute your daughter, then kill you for fun. The Episcopal Church has become a political arm for the American Socialist-Communist Party (call them Democrats if you prefer), which means there is a nice warm place awaiting their souls, when their corrupt bodies of flesh fall off dead.
Let me just add here, now, since I have written about this reading from John before, that Jesus never called the Romans “my sheep.” He never called the Pharisee, Sadducees, scribes and high priests “my sheep.” Jesus was the Good Shepherd, but he knew the difference from a flock of Yahweh the Father, who sent Jesus to tend to them specifically. Jesus was the gatekeeper and the gate to the sheepfold that protects the flock of Yahweh by night (when darkness is about). If you worship some gang or cartel as your god, then there is a different lair or hole in the ground to crawl into when the sun is up. Wolves do good hunting in darkness. During the day they have to dress up like Episcopal priests to catch a succulent lambchop meal.
With the recent death of Pope Socialist, the Jesuit militant who had more hate in his heart than love (proof he was a filthy politician, not a Saint), do not be surprised if the next pope is Chinese or from some terror-sponsoring African nation (thus a Muslim?). I am sure the Episcopal Church will miss watching Pope Socialist go down on Muslim immigrants on Maundy Thursday, licking the toe jam from their stinking of sin feet, as if that was what Jesus thinks is agapas; or, are they (like Peter) meaning philo?
