JD Vance sharply responds to Pope Leo XIV: “When the Pope says God is never on the side of those who wield the sword, there is more than a thousand-year tradition of Just War Theory in Christianity.” “Just as I have to be careful when speaking about public policy as Vice President, the Pope should be very careful when speaking about theology.” “If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, it must be anchored in truth. That’s what I strive for, and it’s exactly what we should expect from the clergy, Catholic or Protestant.”

@Tulsabill55 @Knesix Like most Catholics, you have no clue what you’re talking about.

@Knesix The Holy Father has repeatedly condemned the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and other places. Like most Trump supporters, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Trump, in his policies and his conduct, is the least Christian president in our history.

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left. And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing. All organically, I'm sure. I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne. This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports. But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity. Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm. The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue. OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing. But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president. The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.

@GadSaad Disgusting and diabolical.

The suicidal empathy of one-way largesse.

@JimHendley4NC Of course.

Everything is coming to light. It takes time but it’s happening! Do you think the Vatican is corrupt?

@EYakoby Who is paying or threatening Tucker?

Tucker Carlson dismissed a Turning Point USA poll showing most young conservatives see Radical Islam as America’s top threat, claiming it isn’t true. He added that he doesn’t know anyone killed by Radical Islam in the U.S. over the past 24 years.

@TrumpsHurricane Does he know how to read the Bible?

What is your response to Pope Leo ??

@LauraLoomer Very dangerous and demonic.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Meanwhile he hasn’t lifted a finger to help persecuted Christians in Syria and Nigeria… Very dangerous.

@LangmanVince The Three Stooges.

David Axelrod met with the Pope last week, a few days later the Pope attacked President Trump on Iran. Then last night three liberal Cardinals attacked president Trump on 60 minutes This was all coordinated by Barrack Obama to break Trump's catholic base before the midterms

@RealCandaceO Because you’re a rabid animal who keeps stirring up public hatred against the woman Charlie loved. You are the real life version of fatal attraction.

Erika Kirk pulled out of her event last minute with Vice President Vance, citing “threats”. This is PR horseshit, obviously. He is now doing the event alone at the University of Georgia. What do we think is the real reason she pulled out?

@Gaboca97 @nicksortor @VP @AndrewKolvet @MrsErikaKirk @TPUSA @RealCandaceO @TuckerCarlson Tell us you’re a moron without telling us.

@nicksortor @VP @AndrewKolvet What a crock of shit!Liars! This was a disgusting political stunt by @MrsErikaKirk and @TPUSA!CK, @RealCandaceO , @TuckerCarlson received a LOT more threats than EK, and they never backed down. This is a disgusting, direct attack towards @RealCandaceO to shut her up! Appalling!!

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Erika Kirk had to BACK OUT of her planned event with JD Vance tonight at the University of Georgia due to "SERIOUS THREATS" on her life, per @VP and @AndrewKolvet "Unfortunately, she has received some very serious threats in her direction... It's a terrible reflection on the state of reality, and the state of the country."

@TomFitton Well, no wonder Catholics are so uneducated on politics if this is the leadership.

America kills about 1,000,000 unborn human beings a year through abortion and yet three leading cardinals go on 60 Minutes to promote left-wing talking points on Trump, the illegal immigration invasion, etc.

@EricLDaugh @mhscott16 Or, they are evil, and would not change their opinion.

🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo "I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about." "Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!" "And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime." "Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!" "Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that." "Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion." Mic drop.

@harryjsisson @elonmusk No, little ignorant one. It is VERY disputable that the vaccine decreased deaths. The alarming number of turbo cancers and coagulation deaths the vaccine continues to cause make it the most deadly vaccine ever produced.

@elonmusk The vaccine dramatically decreased deaths and hospitalizations. The Trump admin even delayed putting out a report that came to this conclusion because they didn’t want to anger the base with the truth. This is indisputable.

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.

@RantyAmyCurtis Sorry, using only physicians I know or white males, because they’re the only ones who I know had to earn it.

You’re going to die from an incompetent doctor and the left won’t care because they met their diversity quotas.

@0hour1 Go — it’s where we send all the losers.

Marjorie Taylor Green said she is joining the Democrat party. 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😂

@florintruth @elonmusk Add this fact to the long racist record of Democrats.

True

@WallStreetApes @elonmusk They will TRY.

@elonmusk Democrats will literally lock up Elon Musk and half the Trump Administration if they win in 2028

@elonmusk Fast and with great fury.

@bennyjohnson How does a lowly magistrate judge have ANY authority over a murder case???? They handle small claims because they are not real judges. No law school, no legal training.

This animal was ‘competent’ enough to vote. He was ‘competent’ enough to get welfare. He was ‘competent’ enough to get public housing. He was ‘competent’ enough to get EBT. He was ‘competent’ enough to get free bus rides. He was ‘competent’ enough to acquire a murder weapon. He was ‘competent’ enough to slice a girls throat in an instant. He was ‘competent’ enough to immediately brag about murdering “that white girl.” This animal was ‘competent’ enough to stand trial for 14 (!!!!) previous violent offenses and be set free. But now that he’s facing the death penalty he’s miraculously ‘incompetent’ and cannot be judged. My blood is boiling. Impeach and punish the corrupt judges who allowed this violent repeat offender to be free to kill Iryna. Federal charges better stick and deliver the death penalty to this monster, who was caught on camera committing racial hate murder. Make it a public execution. End this madness. We cannot share a society with these people. Kill evil.

@CollinRugg Dirtbag DEI “judge.”

REPORT: Judge Teresa Stokes released Decarlos Brown just months before he stabbed Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zaruska because he wrote her a "written promise." Remarkable. According to court documents, Stokes decided to release Brown because he "promised" her he would return for his court hearing. Brown had been arrested for the misuse of the 911 system and claimed he had "man-made" material in his body and demanded an investigation. Prior to this incident, he had been arrested at least 14 times, including robbery with a dangerous weapon and physically assaulting his own sister. Source: ABC 6
