"Pope Leo is not offering opinions. He is exercising his ministry as Vicar of Christ." Vance should be excommunicated immediately

@JamesMartinSJ "politicians will continue to denigrate him and thus try to persuade people, without saying it explicitly, to think that the Pope’s words do not need to be listened to." Exactly....

Dear friends: I don’t know any Catholic in the United States, from the most traditional to the most progressive, who does not have strong feelings about the comments from President Trump and Vice President Vance about Pope Leo XIV. These include not only President Trump’s initial disrespectful Truth Social post about the Holy Father, but also Vice President Vance’s similarly disrespectful comments about Pope Leo having to be “careful” when he speaks about theology. Let me share some of my own feelings. First of all, it is shocking that a President and Vice President would treat such a good, holy and learned man with such disdain. Imagine telling a man with the Holy Father’s learning and experience (and authority) that he doesn’t understand theology sufficiently. What’s more, imagine attacking him as, ridiculously, “weak on crime” or somehow not understanding foreign policy. Second, I’m edified by Pope Leo’s charitable and courageous response to all this. Charitable because he has not responded in any way other than with charity and respect. As some of you may know, I know the Holy Father slightly, thanks to our being seated together at the Synod for two weeks, and know him to be a kind, reserved, discerning and highly intelligent person. In a word, holy. But courageous too: as we have seen during his time in Algeria and Cameroon, Pope Leo has not shied away from continuing to preach the Gospel, and speaking out in favor of peace (and yes, he understands St. Augustine’s concept of the “just war”) and against, as he said today, tyrants and those who would use God’s name to support violence of bloodshed. So, where will this all end? It’s hard to say. But I would imagine that now that the taboo has been broken, politicians will continue to denigrate him and thus try to persuade people, without saying it explicitly, to think that the Pope’s words do not need to be listened to. But this will be in vain for two reasons. First, Pope Leo is clearly fearless. A few hours after he was elected as pope, I spoke with a fellow Augustinian priest who had known “Bob” for decades. “He’s a great listener, very kind and much loved.” Then he paused. “But he’s no pushover.” But the main reason that the Pope’s words will be heard is less about Robert Prevost’s own many virtues but something else: the Vicar of Christ will be heard because he is preaching the Gospel. As Jesus told his disciples, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away.” So, in these strange times, fear not.

@Acyn Can't wait for Chuds that make 80K a year to cry about this.

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…

Idk what to type here rn

Świat milczy, a Izrael dokonuje na naszych oczach ludobójstwa ze szczególnym okrucieństwem. Wysiedla chrześcijan z Libanu, przeprowadza czystki etniczne. Izrael to nowa Trzecia Rzesza i jego flaga powinna wyglądać dokładnie tak.

L'annessione della Cisgiordania, con i soldati complici dei coloni. Gaza annientata. L'avanzata in Libano. Il confine violato in Siria. La guerra all'Iran. Pulizia etnica e massacri. Così la destra sionista dà forma al Grande Israele Il numero de L’Espresso, in edicola e su app

Imagine being so ugly your own genocidal government condemns the publication of your photograph as a hate crime.

@JonathanPeled The picture features a violent extremist who steals home and land. The image didn’t even capture the full extent of Israeli settlers and their sheer inhumanity and ugliness. I would have thanked the publication for being generously kind.

@RabbiPoupko @espressonline @marcotravaglio @robertosaviano @MichellSerrano @MCacciari44 @emifittipaldi @yankihebrew imagine being so ugly and obviously evil that your own people think showing pictures of your face is antisemitic and should be banned 😭
