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

[Mashmont]

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

Irreligious folks do most of the molesting by far. There is no defense for atheism. It should be outlawed.

You Marxists are the big government folks. Controlling every aspect of people's lives, enslaving them in your godless murderous hell holes. I suggest you move to one of the five officially atheist countries; North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, or China. Then come back and pop off about how great they are, except they'll never let you out.

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 what is the Vatican City's take on people moving there illegally and staying? I think I know...

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Everyone has fences and or walls; including, the Vatican. Why not US?

Then what is your problem? You are no dif than anyone.

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.

Yes, Pope Leo doesn't necessarily have to appreciate Trump/Vance to be a good Pope, but I hope Pope Leo XIV will be a good man and a good leader of the Catholic faith. But he has been such a strong advisor to Pope Francis, I suspect he will pretty much be a Francis repeat. Hopefully the Church won't be pushed into being full 'woke' as has happened in so many Christian groups.

Being 'woke' sure shakes up MAGA.

It is empathy, nothing more.

More crybaby conservative catch phrases..isn't it exhausting being a robot who repeats your thiel funded news talking points?

Your churches mass rape children. That's a fact. You can't ignore it. Not with me in the room. I'll always point out the rape and abuse by the churches that you condone.

Atheist regimes murdered 100 million in the last century by far the most in world history. And you're actually trying to sell your vile ideology?

And the Lord, our God, weeps.

 

[martybegan]

I'm waiting for the first encyclical he produces to determine how his Papacy will be directed.

Tweets, Homilies and Statements don't actually mean anything when it comes to Church Doctrine and Church Policy.

How do you outlaw atheism?

 

[Mashmont]

How do you outlaw atheism?

You outlaw all public expressions of it in media sources. same as you do threats against the President. I would do the same for every Marxist or leftist sentiment. They are a cancer to society.

Then you'd have to do that with all religions as well.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Then what is your problem? You are no dif than anyone.

My problem is the Catholic Church has issue with US having a Wall while their whole country is surrounded by walls.

 

[Mashmont]

Then you'd have to do that with all religions as well.

No you wouldn't. Atheism is evil. Catholicism is perfect.

Christianity murdered up to that number easily.

Well, except for the pedophile priests. They enjoy impunity.

in the traditional way...burn them~
