@timothypomalley Dear progressive anglo-American “catholic”, Provost can say whatever he wants, but we follow the teachings of Benedict XVI. Sincerely, A Roman descendant born in Rome.

Dear Americans, not everything the Pope says is about you. Sincerely, The rest of the world.

Sadly, that’s the reality in Europe. The same hardliners who believed in her will now turn on Vannacci. He’ll be lucky to get 5%. Italy is already finished. Just accept it. The smartest thing you can do is find a safer place for your family and get out of this mess — exactly like the intelligent ones already did. Italy has been a captured state ever since Tangentopoli. It was a staged scandal, pushed by the Americans and Italian Communists to destroy Craxi. It’s almost funny watching some people only figure this out years later.

Let's recap: first decree on immigration flows: 500,000 immigrants from 2023 to 2025. Second decree on immigration flows: 500,000 immigrants from 2026 to 2028. Total: 1 million, with 6% of Italians unemployed. This is Giorgia Meloni, friends!

The issue is not about Lebanon, or Christians living in Lebanon or any other area of the world. The issue that you ignore is the generalisation and the fact that as per Provost multiple messages we should accept everyone: including who is destroying our society. Pope Benedict XVI, Message for the 97th World Day of Migrants and Refugees (27 September 2010): “States have the right to regulate migration flows and to defend their own frontiers, always guaranteeing the respect due to the dignity of each and every human person. Immigrants, moreover, have the duty to integrate into the host country, respecting its laws and its national identity.” Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, address to the Italian Senate “Europe: Its Spiritual Foundation: Yesterday, Today and in the Future” (13 May 2004): “The multiculturalism now being encouraged and fostered with such passion comes across at times as mostly an abandonment and denial of what is one’s own, a sort of flight from self. Multiculturalism, however, cannot subsist without shared constants… without points of reference based on one’s own values.” Pope Benedict XVI, Message for the 99th World Day of Migrants and Refugees (12 October 2012): “Certainly every state has the right to regulate migration and to enact policies dictated by the general requirements of the common good, albeit always in safeguarding respect for the dignity of each human person… The process of integration entails rights and duties… attention on the part of migrants to the values offered by the society to which they now belong.” Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), in Values in a Time of Upheaval (reflections on peace, law, and the use of force): “An absolute pacifism that refused to grant the law any effective means for its enforcement would be a capitulation to injustice. It would sanction the seizure of power by this injustice and would surrender the world to the dictatorship of force.” Pope Benedict XVI, Regensburg Lecture “Faith, Reason and the University – Memories and Reflections” (University of Regensburg, 12 September 2006), quoting Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” “Without descending to details, such as the difference in treatment accorded to those who have the ‘Book’ and the ‘infidels’, he [the emperor] addresses his interlocutor with a startling brusqueness, a brusqueness that we find unacceptable, on the central question about the relationship between religion and violence in general… Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul… not to act reasonably (σὺν λόγῳ) is contrary to God’s nature.” These are just some of the most famous quotes of Pope Benedict XVI. If you want I can debate at any time on his doctrine since I read and studied ALL his essays and books, but I doubt you did it.

Fears of illegal migration are generated by the criminality, rapes and murders committed by illegal migrants NOT by people who are against immigration Pope Leo blames the victims, and sides with the perpetrators How can he be so wrong about the state of Lebanon? Lebanon has been destroyed by militant Islamism The woke are so detached from reality

@FrStephenImb I don’t really care about your president; however, Provost is not the Pope, as Bergoglio wasn’t before him.

The disrespect that so many Catholics here are showing Pope Leo is disgusting. Yea, yea, yea you all will give me the litany of the reasons you have for your disrespect. You will pummel me with questions like, “but Father, what about this, this, and this…” Well I have a question for you! Who do you all think you are? You are the holy ones? The prayerful ones? So filled with the Holy Spirit? Who are you to scrutinize and judge every single word and action of Christ’s authority on earth? The pharisaical nature of American Catholics is truly coming out. And then, so many denigrating the Pope at every turn at the same time minimize and rationalize every action and diatribe of our President? Here is a reflection for us all…Proverbs 9:10.

@Pontifex "An absolute pacifism that denies the law any and all coercive measures would be capitulation to injustice, would sanction its seizure of power, and would abandon the world to the dictates of violence." - Pope Benedict XVI on Islamic terrorists acquiring nuclear weapon

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@Osint613 "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Pope Benedict XVI citing Byzantine Emperor Manuel II in a speech on Islam

Pope Leo says Muslims migrants should be allowed to stay in Europe and coexist with Christians, drawing mass criticism. "We all need to work together," the Pope said.

@JackPosobiec "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Pope Benedict XVI citing Byzantine Emperor Manuel II in a speech on Islam

Pope Leo: “In Europe, fears are present but often generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race. I would say that we all need to work together."

@Pontifex Provost, stop pretending to be someone you’re not. You’re not the Pope.

Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon

@Pontifex Shut up, Provost.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

@michel_viot Provost is not the Pope.

Pour que les choses soient claires : comme pretre catholique il est de mon devoir de dire au vice-président Vance,dont je connais les qualités qu’il n’a pas le droit comme catholique de donner ordre au Pape de se taire, ni d’invoquer les questions de moralité., avec des sous entendus désagréables. Comme vice-président, il peut bien évidemment invoquer la notion de guerre juste sans qu’il soit nécessaire de médire sur la moralité de l’Eglise. Je ne rajouterai plus rien sur cette question.

Engaging with those lacking basic biblical understanding, like yourself, is pointless. There’s no need to respond to a purely “political” post like the one you shared — it contains no real theology, only selective morality. The same morality you never apply to defend the Christians being killed every day by the very people you’re trying to protect. But then again, you’re a Jesuit, so this is to be expected. Throughout Church history, it has always been your order that has accelerated the problematic shifts toward modernism and relativism, abandoning the perennial doctrine of the Faith. Prevost is not the Pope, just as Bergoglio was not the Pope. Pope Benedict XVI was the last true voice of Christ and the last legitimate Pope of the Catholic Church. Good job playing your role in this deception — the Devil will be proud of you. It’s time for real believers to return to Orthodoxy and leave this Church infested by the demon — as @CarloMVigano has done.

Yes, he really said that. Yesterday Vice President JD Vance criticized Pope Leo XIV for not knowing enough theology: "I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology ... If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth," he said, at a Turning Point conference. One of the many, many, ironies about that statement is that it came in response to Pope Leo's comments about war and peace and, specifically, the concept of "just war," which originated with St. Augustine. As many have already noted, when the Vice President was making his comments, Pope Leo XIV, a member of the Augustinian Order, and twice Prior General of the Augustinians before his election as Pope, was visiting the hometown of St. Augustine, then called "Hippo," now in Annaba, a town in modern-day Algeria. For good measure, Pope Leo XIV, the man critiqued for insufficient theological education, earned not only a master's degree in divinity, but also licentiate and a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. JD Vance's recent conversion to Catholicism is beside the point, because many converts are of course not only highly intelligent (and learned in theology) but faithful and energetic Catholics. We rejoice over everyone entering the church. What most of us do not rejoice over, however, is a deadly combination of inaccuracy and hubris. Pace, Vice President Vance, but the current war in Iran is not a just war under Catholic doctrine. You can hear that from church leaders from across the theological spectrum, from Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the head of the military vicariate and former head of the @USCCB, to Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington who holds doctorates in both theology and political science. You can look all that up online. Suffice to say, the Vice President doesn't seem to understand the tenets of just war. Nor does he seem to understand the fundamental position of the church, which is for peace. "War is always a defeat for humanity," as St. John Paul II said. If that authority isn't enough, then turn to Jesus who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers," not "Blessed are the warmongers." And after the Resurrection, the Risen Christ says to the frightened disciples not "Vengeance is mine" but "Peace be with you." Incidentally, the day before, the Vice President said that the Pope (and the Vatican) should stick to teaching about morality, also seeming to forget that war and peace are profoundly moral issues. For his part, Pope Leo was focused yesterday on his spiritual father, St. Augustine. After what seemed like an emotional visit to Hippo, he celebrated Mass at the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba. During his homily he said, "The primary task of pastors as ministers of the Gospel is therefore to bear witness to God before the world with one heart and one soul, not permitting our concerns to lead us astray through fear, nor trends to undermine us through compromise." Amen. Let's all continue to pray for the Holy Father as he works for peace. (Image: Pope Leo XIV prays at the archeological ruins of Hippo, home of St. Augustine, in current-day Algeria. CNS photo).

@lamps_apple The last genuine Pope was Benedict XVI. Then the church was co-opted once more. This isn’t the first time and won’t be the last.

Wow. I’m actually glad Trump called out the Pope. I feel ashamed I lost track of what’s been happening inside the Catholic Church. Last night I spent hours digging into the last ten years… and I’m stunned. The Catholic Church is no longer preaching the Word of God. It is replacing it with a different gospel.

@CatholicSOTC How can someone be officially excommunicated? This is unbearable. Benedict XVI was the last Pope of the Catholic Church before this process was co-opted from within.

Pope Leo: "Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady." lifesitenews.com/analysis/pope-…

@pokimanelol It’s incredible how you all manage to manipulate the English language constantly striving for moral superiority. It’s insane.

you realize people can be victims of cheating, right..?

@E0_DS0_Omega @tomwarren You are born dumb.

@tomwarren raised it 50% to 30 bucks a month. now saying it's too expensive. you set the price dude

@TheFigen_ @X Oh look, it's always the slop posters that are complaining about this change. Actually create something in your life. How are you not embarrassed of yourself and of what you are reposting daily? Nikita is doing exactly what he should do.

Dear @X, this isn’t simply a change — it feels more like a significant challenge for the entire X public. You are now the X brand, but your users are still Twitter users. The true essence of Twitter has always been its role as a global public square. People came here to read the news, discuss current events, follow politics, and share their opinions openly. Only about 5% of my followers are verified. This shows that the majority of people aren’t here primarily to make money. Even if the monetization feature were removed, many of us would still choose to stay. However, if the reach of accounts continues to decrease, many users might eventually leave the platform. You often encourage us to create our own original content. The reality is that even original content here can usually only generate revenue for a very short time — often no more than 48 - 72 hours. That’s why many creators prefer uploading their work to YouTube, where they can continue earning from it for years to come. Creating content here is basically a waste of time. Your users are fundamentally Twitter users. Preserving the original spirit of the platform would be a very wise approach. I’m not against you at all. I just wanted to share my honest thoughts and suggestions with you as a friend, with good intentions....

@buffys That’s simple: Communism.
