i heard leo's brother say, i think on local chicago news but not sure, "yes, we don't talk about it but i would think my brother is much more liberal than i am. he has to be, because, you know, he's a priest. he has to, like, you know...well...care for others" i was like 😳
You are only a man @realDonaldTrump , and someday you will stand before our Lord Jesus Christ. You claim our Holy Father @Pontifex is weak, but it takes more strength to do what one should rather than simply what one wants. You intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of stopping drugs and criminals from entering our country, and under Nicolás Maduro you described the regime in terms of narco-terrorism. My qualm is the name games you play. Do you think you can simply legitimize actions by denoting terminology to suit your interest? This you did.
In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu undermine the true meaning of justice through continued acts of unconscionable war crimes, all in the name of “self-defense.” But with the Lord, there will be no altering of words and their meaning; all that will be left is the truth of what really happened. You call the Holy Father weak because he calls for peace? What is weak is bombing children in Gaza in the name of national interest. What is weak is saying this is God’s country, yet by your actions you act as an enemy of the cross.
It is a shame that, in many respects, the COVID situation could have been handled better by the Church, but do you not consider the blunder of Operation Warp Speed? To this day, questions and debates about the long-term effects of the vaccines remain, and this was under your authority, so pluck the splinter out of your own eye.
Inspired by Christian charity, I implore you, repent. We are Christ first, not MAGA first. Our first allegiance is to God and His Kingdom. Are you God first or MAGA first? If God first, why do some of your actions betray that truth? If you come after the Church and the Holy Father @Pontifex_de, don’t think I’ll be silent. I only fear God.
In a 2025 @pewresearch survey, 84% of American Catholics, including 89% of Democrats and 84% of Republicans, had a favorable opinion of Pope Leo. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…
For the past two Sundays my Pastor has preached about folks using the name and iconography of Jesus while dismissing everything he taught.
Tonight the President posted this image:
Pope Leo will spend July 4 in Lampedusa, an Italian island in the Mediterranean, where tens of thousands of migrants land on their way to Europe every year. It also marks America's 250th birthday. U.S. cardinals say the visit sends a message. cbsn.ws/4taRe3E
“Our mass count within the Spanish masses in our archdiocese went down 30% from the year before. 30%. That's a lot. And it's all fear,” says Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, D.C. cbsn.ws/4teT97u
“To splice together movie cuts with actual bombing and targeting of people for the purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are,” says Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago, criticizing what he calls the White House’s “gamification” of the war on social media. cbsn.ws/4tO90K5
The Pope has called for a ceasefire in Lebanon, saying he was "closer than ever" to the country's people during his prayers.
Israel's strikes over Beirut have reduced in recent days, but its attacks on southern Lebanon have intensified alongside a ground invasion.
