Been pretty cool seeing strong Catholic unity, pride, and support of Pope Leo on this site the last 12 hours. A moment of chosen loyalty emerged and the resounding support for our Pope has been the consensus. Beautiful

@BishopBarron Why did you remain silent after ICE killed two people in MN?

@joncoopertweets Pope Leo

Who better reflects your personal morals?

@joncoopertweets 😎

Trump really is the Antichrist, isn’t he? 🤨

@ProfDanRober @commonwealmag Agreed.

Absolutely pathetic. He had more energy to attack my @commonwealmag essay last June than to push back on this.

@josephnollasj Jesus is my President

Silver lining: it’s great to see so many US Catholics willing to take a stand for the faith. “I die the King’s good servant, and God’s first” were St. Thomas More’s last word. May all Catholics have such clarity to recognize that no president outweighs the Catholic faith.

@FernandoAmandi Pope Leo was chosen Pope with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and is precisely the right man to lead the church durign this time.

How I miss you St. John Paul II. Please intercede before God to enlighten the troubled and confused Vatican 🙏

@SpenceRogers Proud mental midget here!

Any Catholic defending the current Pope is a mental midget, not worthy of paying attention to. Probably a lower IQ than Marjorie Traitor Brown.

@SteveSkojec I love the Catholic heirarchy

Even our non-Catholic friends get the embarrassment that is the Catholic hierarchy.

@WellsJorda89710 No one worships the Pope

Stop worshipping the pope and worship Jesus.

@miguelifornia I love Pope Leo

Catholics have a real issue.... Catholics believe the Pope is infallible in defining doctrines on faith or morals. This Pope is "woke" and constantly proclaiming bullshit. Will you act outraged? Or call him out?

@GoldsteinBrooke The issue is, was/is the way the U.S. attacked Iran a just action?

🧵 Pope Leo says God does not bless conflict. Fine. But if someone threatens your life and you refuse to defend yourself, that is not holiness, it is suicide dressed up as virtue. There is nothing sacred about allowing evil to flourish. There is nothing righteous about telling victims to accept their fate so that others can feel morally pure. Martyrdom forced on innocent people is evil. Choosing not to stop that evil when you can is a failure of responsibility. 1/4

@MiaForTrump Pope Leo

Trump slammed Pope Leo as ‘weak’ and ‘terrible for foreign policy’ after the Pope said ‘God does not bless any conflict’. A so-called Christian president attacking the Pope for wanting peace? Who do you support?? A) Donald Trump B) Pope Leo Vote below 👇

@blue_eyes_0928 Trump is the antiChrist

I have no words. I stand with Trump, I love my President, but as a Christian, I’m speechless. Maybe he doesn’t realize how deep this picture looks or would represent, but I can’t condone this. I have no words. At the end of the day, Trump is man, not Jesus. Wow.

“A churchman’s opinions about politics have the same value as a politician’s opinions about the Bible.” —Cardinal Francis E. George, O.M.I.

@ClassicalTheis No contest (Pope Leo)

I guess it’s time to pick a side

@calvinrobinson If you don't know by now, you never will

And now this blasphemous idolatry. What on earth is going on with the President?!

@TBlountNews Pope Leo

Ok Catholic Americans. It’s either Trump or Pope Leo. Pick your actual belief structure.

“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 @ArchbishopOKC

@DanTalks1 You need to find better friends. And start reading the gospels.

All my Catholic friends despise the current church leadership, the disconnect between the pope/cardinal leadership and the base has never been wider than it is today. They are Catholics despite the leadership, not because of.
