Months before Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost became the first American pope, he expressed criticism of Vice President JD Vance on social media, sharing an article that called the vice president’s interpretation of Christian doctrine “wrong.”

I’m sure he’s gonna put his money where his mouth is and throw open the gates to Vatican City to all immigrants who desire to live there. It’s the only way to lead by example.
I especially love how you guys are eating your own. I’m not super happy that you are doing it to my middle school best friend John Fetterman because he is a good man. But it 100% proves that you guys demand blind allegiance to the party like all communists do
Traitors? I just looked it up, not one person was charged with treason… The overwhelming majority of them were charged with obstruction of an official proceeding… Which is basically trespassing. 200 of the over 10,000 people that were there that day or violent. It was a mostly peaceful day.
LMAO! Ding Dong Avon Calling! It’s literally what Jesus would do 😳🤦♂️🤷♀️ looks like a case of Golden Bull Syndrome GBS for short 😂😂😂😂 THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!!!!
The pope has no business discussing migration when not even EU passport holders can migrate to Vatican City. Nor can they even visit without prior application.
I’m sure he’s gonna put is money where his mouth is and throw open the gates to Vatican City to all immigrants who desire to live there. It’s the only way to lead by example.
How so? He was happy to criticize the current administration for wanting a wall, closing the border and deporting criminals…..the Vatican has no illegal migrants because of their big beautiful walls. Mr. Leo, tear down that wall.
JD's doctrine about pretty much everything is wrong. Is he innately evil or does he just act that way to curry favor with Master Don? It probably doesn't really matter.
I taught in a parochial school. The new pastor was a convert. Yes. Converted after a military career & became a priest. Really conservative (it had been a very liberal parish.)
That tracks. I attended Catholic school from 1st to 12th grades back in the 1970s/1980s and things were much more liberal back then.
Maybe because it was not long after Vatican II, and things were more open, but it seems to have gone way back the other way.
Pope Benedict swung us back; RW Catholics were upset when he stepped down. They hoped he would revive Latin Masses, altar railings, & disinfecting women from serving in full time ministry (pastoral associates) and lay ministry on the altar.
🙏🏻May the Church continue focus on social justice.
Rik Devillé & SNAP, who defends victims of abuse in the church, finds his appointment “A slap in the face" Prevost has protected a priest who abused children for years.
“It’s unbelievable, the whole world is cheering, but the victims are not.”
Vance is, in general, wrong.
Trump is, in general, nuts.
Hegseth is, in general, drowning in his own incompetence.
Lutnick is, in general, ludicrous....
The Church is not a democracy. What the leaders of the church say is the final word. Arguing with the Pope is not a thing. But read the NCR article linked in this article, it is beautifully reasoned. We learn the parable of the Good Samaritan as children.
You really hope this makes a difference, but so far his followers (online warriors) despise lifelong career experts. They’re suspicious of institutional employees, and continue to find excuses to push the Project 2025 agenda. Hopefully, they’ll start seeing the naked emperor like the rest of us.
Midwestern nice on full display, BUT don’t underestimate his roots of growing up in Chicago (the most segregated city) on the SOUTH side in the 60s & 70s, witnessing police brutality, government overreach, the riots, social justice & civil rights movements…and the genres of Funkadelic & House Music😁
Hmmm…who should we trust on the interpretation of Catholic doctrine? Someone who was just elected pope or someone who converted in 2019? So hard to decide.
This seems to be part of the press's deference to Republican officials. "Whom should we trust on this issue: an acknowledged expert for the topic, or a Republican politician." Far too often the press privileges uninformed opinion just because it's spoken by a Republican.
Ehm... Pope Francis was THE FIRST AMERICAN POPE. Maybe you have already forgotten him...
Or more probably you don't know the meaning of the word AMERICA.
A new #pope!
#PopeLeoXIV — an American with South American roots.
His name recalls Leo XIII and Rerum Novarum on workers’ rights.
But will he tackle the deeper problem #Clericalism?

MAGA is flipping out that the new pope has publicly and repeatedly criticized JD Vance, particularly regarding Vance’s interpretation of Catholic teachings to justify Trump’s immigration policies.
I’m sure he’s gonna put his money where his mouth is and throw open the gates to Vatican City to all immigrants who desire to live there. It’s the only way to lead by example.
See what happens when people pray for hope in the United States? Fortunately the new Pope will steal more headlines setting off trump for self destruction
I'm drowning in sorrow and stress, feeling completely overwhelmed and lost. The darkness is too much, and I've been thinking about ending it all. Please, if you can, reach out. I need someone to talk to before it's too late.
It's darkest before the dawn, friend. Focus on the light you can bring to others - let that be your purpose and your guide through these times. Where there is no light, we must create it within ourselves. It's all we can do.
Christians interpretation and take on Christian doctrine is beyond skewed or wrong it's diabolical the entire group could be known as followers of the Antichrist...
In other news, the day after Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to backtrack on his oath of office, @nytimes.com editors shrugged and pretended not to notice.
Except he is the second American Pope as Francis was also an American Pope...
I am always shocked by the US citizen thinking they are the center of the world.

Douchebag. Your stupidity is interesting to watch
You folk are a close 2nd, btw.
Lots of converted to Catholicism Republicans.
It fits JD's misogynistic views perfectly.

#Pope Leo XIV
His title is POPE Leo XIV.
soon … like the last one 😆
Pope Trump will be super pissed.
His big announcement will be missed,
Because a new woke pope now exists,
Who, unlike Trump, isn't a rapist.

The title of this post is misleading. Project 2025 is not an "interpretation of Christian Doctrine"
It's Evil.
The friggin Pope is literally telling you this.
Or more probably you don't know the meaning of the word AMERICA.

I wouldn't cheer or say its great start just yet. A broken clock is right twice a day.
LOVE IT!
MAGA was hoping Satan became the new Pope!
"Hang Robert Prevost"?
Glad to see NYT dropping presumption from February that JD Vance is an authority on Catholic doctrine re ordo amoris
Love of God and neighbor is the basic issue
In Fratelli Tutti Francis cited an essay by Paul Ricoeur >
I do not *have* a neighbor I make myself someone's neighbor
Vance can certainly express views on ordo amoris and maybe they're worth considering
But let's not privilege his takes over a pope let alone 2 popes 🙄
I am always shocked by the US citizen thinking they are the center of the world.
You can fuck ALL the way off.
