@wcbuecker I am a Catholic, and I love Pope Leo

Have American Catholics always despised the Pope? Or do they hate him now because Trump told them to?

@ChristopherHale Not ony they should theyresign , but they should repent for being MAGA boot lickers.

Cardinal Dolan and Bishop Barron are on President Trump’s religious liberty commission that meets tomorrow. They should both resign. We cannot allow the president to attack our pope without consequence.

“If you want to bring happiness to the whole world, go home and love your family.” - St. Teresa of Calcutta

@BishopBarron It's about time you spoke out against MAGA

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media. I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

@JonLemire I loved Pope Leo

President Trump posts a lengthy attack on *checks notes* the Pope

The short story is a great art to teach writing, it is also wonderful fun just to read. Who is the most recent author you've read short stories from? Me: Edgar Allan Poe.

@Ritualist_06 You mean Sacraments

Let me confusion y'all a little 😂 What are the 7 Catholic rituals? Don't Google the answer just tell me

@JesusIsLord0405 False!

I deleted my last question because it seems I have phrased it poorly. Second try: I recently saw an Orthodox priest making an argument against us Catholics, that in Catholicism, certain individuals are not given the holy Eucharist if they are too severely mentally disabled. Is that true? Is there such a teaching in Catholicism?

@h_e_p_56 I love Pope Leo

What does a good catholic do when they realize the pope is not catholic?

@roddreher Catholicism is not determined by popular opinion.

"Influential"? These guys are all Boomer liberals, Francis appointees who do not represent the mainstream of US Catholic opinion, and certainly not where the spiritual energy is among the laity. Nor the future of the Catholic Church in the US.

@Benedicta_Bee I stand with the Pope

Communism is a sin

@roddreher Since when is Catholicism determined by popular opinion?

@RichardGowan1 I stand with Pope Leo

I am not a Catholic, or indeed a believer. But I think this is my Pope.

@all_themoxie I stand with the Pope

I joined the Catholic Church for a reason—I believe it is the Church Christ founded. I spent a LOT of time studying the faith and reading the Catechism cover to cover before my baptism. Lately, I’ve found myself struggling with some of the Holy Father’s public statements. The tone feels absolute, and I’m having a hard time reconciling that with the Church’s full teaching that I’ve studied in depth. And if I’m honest, the reaction in my own heart has not been good. So I’m choosing to guard my heart. For now, I’m stepping back from @Pontifex’s social media and these conversations. I will keep the prayers and rosaries I’ve committed to, and I will continue to pray for the Holy Father. But my focus needs to stay where it belongs: the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and the guidance of my priest. Lord, have mercy. Keep me faithful and rightly ordered.

Do you agree with Pope Leo against the Trump administration's claims? 👍🏽 or 👎🏽
