Before becoming pontiff, Pope Leo levied criticism at Trump and Vance

[struth]

I do but the braindead MAGA cult members do not.
They are unable to say one negative thing about Trump.

Huh? What does Trump have to do with thus

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Not likely he’ll call a Crusade to drive the Rape Gangs out of Europe

What a surprise..the new Pope is not a fan of our Govt.

Pope Leo XIV, who was chosen on Thursday, has a history of criticizing President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance's policies, according to posts on the X account of Robert Prevost, his name before he ascended to be head of the Catholic Church.

In February he reposted an article with the following headline: "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others."

In April, when Trump met with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to discuss using a prison where alleged human rights abuses took place to jail suspected gang members flown from the United States, Prevost reposted a comment that included: "Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?"
Reuters could not immediately verify who operated the account, which made its first post in 2011. Reuters reached out to the Vatican, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Chiclayo in Peru, where Prevost was based for years, and the Peruvian Embassy to the Holy See to confirm the authenticity of the account, which has the handle @drprevost
and includes posts calling for prayers for the late Pope Francis in his final months.

Pope Leo is expected to follow in the footsteps of Francis, a champion of the poor and of immigrants, who also had his differences with the Trump administration. Vance, who met with Francis at the Vatican the day before he died, played down those differences after the meeting, but they were substantial. Francis had called Trump's immigration policies a disgrace.

He's not a fan of two of the worst politicians to hold Office in America OP.

He likes our government just fine though.

Not a smart move if the expectation is that the new Pope become an anti-Trump crusader.

Too many Latino voters love Trump, and that is one demographic the RC cannot afford financially to lose.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The new pope is a fan of God, not those who claim they know God. The fakirs.

 

[BackAgain]

Trump and all Presidents should have validation from God.
Trump could be the antiChrist.

You could have a room temperature IQ. IN Iceland in the winter. But I doubt it’s that high.

The papacy has always hated enlightenment values which this nation was founded on.

They were in bed with the confederates, and the Nazis. Likewise, they are in cahoots with the globalists at the UN and WEF.

This is not news to anyone that has followed deep politics.

Great, another political Pope.

All religious leaders have a political agenda, even the ones that claim not to.

Democrats still big mad about J6​

They don't have many talking points to run on, even if it's old news and questionable to be considered an insurrection. They can't run on facts so they run on emotion, orange man bad and repubs can't be trusted. Their agenda isn't politically popular and nobody on their side is particularly attractive, so they gen up the J6 narrative cuz they don't much else.

One good thing is this pope speaks English, so the leftwing media will not be able to intentionally mistranslate what he said as happened with Francis, although they will still be able to edit his words to make it appear he said something other than what he said

so your translation Saint Mashmont is JD Vance is right” according to Pope Leo

I’m Roman Catholic but no Pope nor the Catholic Church is in a moral position to lecture US about enforcing Immigration when the Vatican is surrounded by a Wall.

And the Lord, our God, weeps.

 

[Mashmont]

The pope never mentioned Vance by name. He "liked" an article which mentioned Vance among a lot of other things. But you leftwingers will lie and say "Former Pope Slams Vance!!" This is the kind of stuff you do, and it's why everyone despises the leftwing media.

 

[KarsaOrlong]

Perhaps he is a Progressive Socialist Communist like the previous Pope. We will see soon enough.

Which pope advocated for a proletarian state?

Every pope has been a rape apologist or worse, fattening their coin purse while ravaging children.

It's amazing anyone is Catholic at all.

 

[KarsaOrlong]

No matter what the Dems say, Jesus was not a socialist.

Jesus, the brain addled desert dwelling maniac who christians call their savior, would have opposed the current model of state capitalist repression and oppression being driven by conservatives who are too afraid to live freely.

This is a lie. So typical of the leftwing and its media. No, the former pope did not level criticism at Trump or Vance. He did not make the comment about "Don't you see the misery?". He liked an article that said this among many other things. The leftwing worldwide media, which despises the Catholic Church because it is the biggest impediment against Marxism, will do everything in its power to divide people, including lie and misrepresent. For example. The common take is that Francis slammed US immigration policy and Trump. But the leftwing media ALWAYS leaves off the first part of the pope's quote where he acknowledges that every country has the right to defend its borders and reject the entry of criminals.

Ridiculous claim. Francis lived very modestly. The irreligious commit 99% of the crimes. It's amazing anyone is atheist at all.

The Catholic Church has been raping and molesting children and people for centuries. There's no defense for that criminal cartel.

Sure, it is. You with your fences are in no position to morally lecture anyone on immigration.
