Bear in mind that the Catholics praying in Latin that Biden’s FBI investigated were the SSPX chapel in Richmond: as a look-down-your-noser on whatever you think ‘rad trads’ are, ask yourself which side you’re really on there. Especially as you Announce Your Departure from the Trump Train.
English
Never forget what the Biden Administration did to Catholics who prayed in Latin. The Biden FBI labelled them as terrorists and subjected them to nationwide investigation. THIS is what happens when you give the Democrats power. Remember that in November.

The per capita tax burden in the United States is ~$16,600
Eliminate all social welfare and it falls to ~$3,500
The primary purpose of the United States government is violent wealth redistribution

@MarcelLeJeune UN/NGOspeak with Bible sprinkles on top is—amazingly—not Catholic just because Leo 14 says it instead of Randi Weingarten or Eric Swalwell.

When your worldview is USA politics, you only see things in a binary manner. 🔵or🔴.
When your worldview is Catholic, you try to see things through the eyes of Jesus.
The Pope is Catholic. SURPRISE!
He doesn't think like an American politician.
ANY of them, including Trump.

@holysmoke Who’s likelier to call for a crusade to liberate Europe from the muslim invaders, the twenty-first century NGO pope whose long-dead predecessors called for crusades and wielded armies, or this president longnosedly sniffed at by Catholic public innerlecks like Ed and Robbie?
English
The last thing I would call Pope Leo is weak. He prodded the bear and the expression on his face suggests he’s not too distressed by the outcome.
Anthony@4NH0NY
@Eufrosnia @FeserEdward @holysmoke We should absolutely focus on his character. If you, a Catholic aren’t concerned he called the Pope “weak” (which is pretty unfair concerning Trump is weak on Pro-life policies) at least be concerned Trump attacked Christ by pretending to look like him in a post.

@bonchieredstate Trump’s biggest opponent is Senators from Iowa and South Dakota, so the Leo thing will be exactly as news-cycle-y by November as the invasion of Venezuela is every single day now in mid-April.

Catholics are the most politically split major demographic of Christianity in America. That means they can and do shift elections.
Going to war with the pope, no matter how wrong you may think he is, is just really, really stupid right before the midterms.

Per impossibile, if I were a cardinal elector I’d pick the bombastic notionally Presbyterian Trump as pope over NGO bureaucrat Leo like I was a 3:00AM Biden ballot-box dumper.

@CatholicArena ‘…but the US should allow its court system to be even more clogged….’
Anybody can rip a pull quote from Schumer or Pelosi where they claim they don’t actually hate America, but ducks still quack and you cannot find a Leo pull quote that sounds like an ordinary nonleftist pol.

'Nobody has said that the United States should have open borders'
Pope Leo XIV
Bad Hombre@Badhombre
If the Catholic Church were setting our domestic policy we’d have wide open borders, unlimited immigration from the third world, the death penalty would be abolished for even the most heinous crimes, we’d have drug boats docking and and unloading their cargo at our ports, income taxes would be insane, and more than half the budget would go to USAID. The majority of American Catholics do not agree with any of that, by the way.

Well said, Your Excellency! @BishopBarron
A measured, charitable response
Bishop Robert Barron@BishopBarron
The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media. I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

Clacking shrews desperate to have Democrats giving them back the billions of working-class tax dollars to bring millions of muslim invaders to the US: plus here’s an out of context bobble quote just like our fundamentalist sistren an brethrens do!
Stop being an Uncle Ted NGO and take up the cross of the un-pullquoted Gospel again.

“I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls.” - Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, President, USCCB

It’s okay for presidents to return the criticism of huge multibillion dollar NGOs.
The pope can stop being a leftist NGO pol and resume the teaching office of the Church any moment he wants.

On one side, you have a fearless world leader who dedicated years of his life serving the poorest of the poor, who espouses true American virtue, will forever be the most impressive man the USA ever produced.
On the other hand, you have a pedophile-protecting compromised liberal who flooded our country with third-world migrants and shut down churches during COVID.
Tough call, but I’ll go with the first one (Pope Leo XIV)

This is a remarkable statement tonight from the American president;
JD Flynn@jdflynn
Trump: I don’t think [Pope Leo]'s doing a very good job. He likes crime, I guess. … he hit us … Think of it. He’s worried about fear. What about the fear when the ministers and the priests and the — all of those great people that were arrested during Covid, and in many cases they’re outside 10 feet apart, and they were arrested,

@PaulBoris_ @lexi_md95440 @realchrismanion Such a bishop has to consider the possibility of being Tylered if he’s seen as veering loudly publicly off the collegiality NGO script.
English
@lexi_md95440 @realchrismanion You wouldn't publicly share a public act by a Bishop? Why not?
English
If your bishop has ever publicly consoled the grieving family of the victim of a criminal illegal alien, please be so kind as to mention it in the replies below.
Dozens of Catholic bishops made public statements, even pastorals, about the death of George Floyd, who died of a massive drug overdose six years ago.
I wrote many of them asking if they had ever done the same for grieving Angel Moms and other loved ones of the countless innocent victims of illegal criminals.
None replied.
Why the silence?
Pray for our bishops.

“Sanctuary policies are supposed to be about compassion. It appears that ‘sanctuary’ and ‘compassion’ are only for illegal immigrants, not for the actual law-abiding citizens of America.” —Angel Mom Jennifer Bos When sanctuary policies failed her, ICE was there to support Jennifer Bos after her daughter Megan’s body was found abused at the house of an illegal alien. The Trump administration and @ICEgov will ALWAYS stand with our Angel families. They are our why. washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4524042…

@OurFriendGenie @Pontifex Ah, the idle rich. Who are these? The leftists who married Steve Jobs or Sam Walton’s boy and now spend their inherited unmerited billions on leftist insanity? These, explicitly, are who you believe Pope Leo should confiscate wealth from?
English
@burningland @Pontifex I don’t know if you’re familiar with Christianity, David, but it calls everyone, rich and poor, to responsibility. The idle rich who hoard unjustly sin; the able-bodied who refuse honest work also sin. The Gospel prioritizes mercy for the genuinely needy and condemns indifference
English
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

There are two ways to fight wars: fat old people in castles or castle equivalents order millions of young men—women now too—to die for whatever their political goal is.
Or the leaders duel. Like the Chernenko vs Reagan music video decades ago. Like Trump is trying to do now: decapitation wars, not generation-destroying wars.

I remember when ol’ Fr L here was still pals with Mark Shea while Mark was merely an ever-inflating pusbag of hate, and decent people would be scandalised by Shea’s insane tirades. ‘Toughen up, buttercup!’ was Fr L’s advice, the internet is rough an’ tumble! Shea is no Leo, but the in-group kiss up/kick down character remains.
