We need the help ✌🏽

fabulousgica.bsky.social•32 days ago

He is USA/Peru dual citizen ! He thanked Pope Francis several times in his speach..so good sign (one hopes)

proudsocialistd.bsky.social•32 days ago

I don't care at all because I don't believe in any religion and I think that religion is a problem in this world. But all I can say is if he's liberal enough to be supporting the LGBTQ+ community🏳️‍🌈 and Women's rights.

pjssky.bsky.social•32 days ago

And Trump takes credit in three, two, one…

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•32 days ago

"First American Cardinal"? Not true,"Pope Leo XlV"is NOT the 1st"American Cardinal however,he is(2nd)&"Pope Francis(Jorge Mario Bergoglio)"born in Buenos Aires, Argentina,(1)of (12)Nations Comprising"SOUTH AMERICA"was,"FIRST"? Btw yall,there are also23Nations in NORTH AMERICA¬ just,the"USA(#2)"?

outoftheblou.bsky.social•32 days ago

EDIT: he's a jerk because of his homophobia and transphobia.

aunty-mame.bsky.social•32 days ago

He actually agrees with Pope Francis' opinion on quite a few social matters. LGBTQ+ included.

Hopefully in the past 10+ years he's evolved & adapted. Francis pushed as far left as he could. I fear it will take a long time for the Church to be the world leader it should be. Francis took big steps. Fingers crossed & "prayers" Leo will continue his work.

How many Catholics support Trump?

dawnchap.bsky.social•32 days ago

Most

zbris.bsky.social•32 days ago

They’ll have to pick their king. It’s genius.

aunty-mame.bsky.social•32 days ago

Not me or anyone I know.

zbris.bsky.social•32 days ago

Are you American Catholic? That sounds nosey and aggressive. Don’t answer if it is. I’m just interested in the reaction.

aunty-mame.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes US Catholic. Not being nosey or aggressive. Sorry if it came off that way. You answered with your opinion that you think most Catholics support trump. Just stating, all the Catholics I know or are related to, do not support trump. However, some Lutherans, Baptists & agnostics I know do

zbris.bsky.social•32 days ago

I meant I sounded nosey and aggressive so we’re all good!

aunty-mame.bsky.social•32 days ago

And I was actually answering Dawn on that reply. Again, wasn't directed at you

purespice.bsky.social•32 days ago

Nope. We really don’t.

zbris.bsky.social•32 days ago

Are you in America? I’m just interested. I hope he visits. Maybe there is a God…

purespice.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes I am, and there definitely is a God. Trust His plan. I have faith it will all work out. Love, truth, and goodness will prevail!!

zbris.bsky.social•32 days ago

Well I’m actually a Protestant from Belfast originally so very much not brought up like that but this is really interesting. He could really show Trump up.

thosmas9.bsky.social•32 days ago

All that door-knocking, flyering, post-carding, telebanking and GOTV paid off!

chronosschiron.bsky.social•32 days ago

this is going to be funny

patoleary.bsky.social•32 days ago

AFAIK the new Pope doesn't get to go home again. He moves into the Vatican today. With all his cats. (You knew he was a cataholic, right?)

chronosschiron.bsky.social•32 days ago

chronosschiron.bsky.social•32 days ago

North American….

maxgoldengirl.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wow! Two American men, both on the world stage now!
And guess which of the two of them speaks 5 languages? And which one has a father who served the U.S. in WWII?
And which has a B.S. in mathematics?
And actually has READ THE BIBILE?
Or actually reads at all?

realmizer.bsky.social•32 days ago

So now Trump is not the most powerful US American anymore. The 🍑💩 won‘t like it.

freegirl12.bsky.social•32 days ago

This feels very GOT

polocodi.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ordained a priest in 1982, he began his missionary work in Peru. His commitment to the Peruvian Church led him to obtain Peruvian citizenship in 2015.

edgetown.bsky.social•32 days ago

Henceforth, the communion wine will be malort.

trumphotelbedbug.bsky.social•32 days ago

It COULD have gone SO BADLY, too. There were some TERRIBLE choices out there.

And I love that he’s worked with people of Peru for much of his life.

paysonprincess.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wow this is GREAT NEWS. And I live in IL 💙

b0ndz.bsky.social•32 days ago

Of course Trump is gonna claim this is happening because he's president now.

grbsmith.bsky.social•32 days ago

📌

lilcubbiegal.bsky.social•32 days ago

He’s was born in my City of Chicago. 😊👍

idiocracyisreal.bsky.social•32 days ago

...and I still don't care. 🤷‍♂️

adam-laberge.bsky.social•32 days ago

We are fucked

vakmere.bsky.social•32 days ago

So what, Trump will have him in his pocket.

stevethefirst.bsky.social•32 days ago

Tr*mp’s already demanding a recount. Donald thinks that the papacy was stolen from him and that he should’ve been elected the new head of the Catholic Church instead of Sleepy Pope Leo.
