What better way to rebuke Trump than to elect an American Pope who is almost his complete opposite

nola-java-jazz.bsky.social•48 days ago

Works for me! Deo volente.

Yet another "election" that is a reaction and repudiation to tRump and what he stands for.

randyvolz.bsky.social•48 days ago

O.K., nice words. But.....

edpack.bsky.social•48 days ago

Sticks it to Trump right away!

oscarsmother.bsky.social•48 days ago

Let's start with reversing your position on birth control and abortion. Til then I'm not really interested.

tonvanadrichem.bsky.social•48 days ago

Trump's response: There will be tariffs on Popes.

mir-scs.bsky.social•48 days ago

Conclave interference and fraud. I'm the new pope.

dawildboarcjd.bsky.social•48 days ago

I like him already...

benrackey.bsky.social•48 days ago

gotta find new communities for all those pedophiles, right?

sojournerhere.bsky.social•48 days ago

Amen

He’s my Pope - and I’m a Unitarian!

Cool. Guess we'll find out if he means bridges and not walls to fascism as time unfolds.

So when does Trump start bad-mouthing him ?

Song of the Day 5/9/25
It’s A Hard Life Wherever You Go

And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood
In the night when his children should sleep
But, they slip to their window and they see him
And they think that white hood's all they need

gbalbona.bsky.social•47 days ago

It's a hard life wherever you go
If we poison our children with hatred
Then, the hard life is all that they'll know

I was a child in the sixties
Dreams could be held through TV
With Disney, and Cronkite, and Martin Luther
Oh, I believed, I believed, I believed

I’m Team Leo/Empathy NOT Fascism!

Sounds like the Pope has been reading the bible.

mrantifascism.com•48 days ago

As an atheist, im fully on board with that!

(I cover politics and social issues, focusing on fighting fascism and raising awareness about key injustices. Please follow me if interested!)

dong66.bsky.social•48 days ago

I like the fact that the first Amercan Pope is very "quotable"

plantz3610.bsky.social•48 days ago

Oh boy this could get interesting...

roseblosum.bsky.social•48 days ago

THIS MAN HAS BEEN POPE ALL OF 30 SECONDS AND ALREADY HE IS BEING JUDGED, CRITICIZED AND HUNG ON DA CROSS OF DOUBT!!

DOES ANYBODY BELIEVE IN CHANCES ANYMORE? OF COURSE YOU DO, YOU ELECTED THE MOST UNGODLY MAN IN AMERICA TO LEAD THE FREE WORLD BACK INTO BONDAGE!!

SHUT UUUUUUP!!

zulajosefa.bsky.social•48 days ago

It's nice to say. Ask the native peoples of North and South America how well that's worked out.

mariposaphoenix.bsky.social•48 days ago

I cried hearing a world leader talk about peace

turanja.bsky.social•48 days ago

Inb4 being shit on lgbtq issues like every other pope.
Pretty words, shit people.

bobbienyc.bsky.social•48 days ago

I call BS on your comment.

turanja.bsky.social•48 days ago

You go ahead and do that while being unable to find a single pope with decent LGBTQ views.

plus2otto.bsky.social•48 days ago

His first speech gives me hope.

subgenius-slack.bsky.social•48 days ago

I didn't know catholic priests did it missionary. They always got me from behind while I was standing up. Until they heard me in choir and my voice wasn't high enough so then they chopped off my testicles.

flyme2damoon.bsky.social•47 days ago

bobhawaii.bsky.social•48 days ago

This is a powerful message

cruthritter.bsky.social•48 days ago

I don't think Trump will like that! But he really doesn't do religion anywho 😜

elmjoe17.bsky.social•48 days ago

Maga is going nuts and already hates him. That means he is going to be a GOOD POPE!

etienneguy.bsky.social•48 days ago

From NBC: The pope's most recent post is a repost which calls out Trump and Bukele for laughing about the expulsion of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It links to an article in which Bishop Evelio Menjivar asks of Catholics regarding Abrego Garcia: "Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?"

etienneguy.bsky.social•48 days ago

From NBC: In February, he reposted Nat'l Catholic Reporter: "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others," in which the post rebuts Vance's claim that Christians prioritize loving people close to them before those from other countries.

bonnjny.bsky.social•48 days ago

Nice sentiment about building bridges but not the missionary part. I dislike when people try to convert you.

bobbienyc.bsky.social•48 days ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh please. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

gigdrain.bsky.social•48 days ago

Oh wow. Pissing off the right wingers immediately. Good sign.

ctown4life.bsky.social•48 days ago

Is a missionary church one that builds bridges while being face to face?

mikeyd123.bsky.social•47 days ago

Oh shit. That means recruiting on street corners.

g-garrick.bsky.social•48 days ago

As an atheist, this pope has my utmost approval and respect 🤝

myself11.bsky.social•48 days ago

I'm interested to see if he crack down on the right wing fascist of Opus Dei inside of the church like Pope Francis was reported as trying to do in the last year of his life.

thebuttercat.bsky.social•48 days ago

Down with the anti-lgbt pope

maplepoutine.bsky.social•48 days ago

A pope from one of the wealthiest countries in the world, who had one of the wealthiest parishes, is about to tell people they need to look after the poor. Catholic Church in a nutshell

tlf5foot8.bsky.social•48 days ago

Mother Teresa always got the finest healthcare money could buy. While people in surrounding communities where she “served” suffered greatly.

mimisworld1111.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’m an ex-Catholic but this new pope is an American/Peruvian & was head of a parish in Peru & is a Peruvian citizen. So he hasn’t been in the U.S. in a very long time. There was a reason Pope Francis wanted this man 2 succeed him. He brought him 2 Rome in 2015 to head the Latin American contingency

bobbienyc.bsky.social•48 days ago

Shut up. My Catholic church was the poorest in the USA. They do a lot for the poor. Wtf do you know?

robwes.bsky.social•48 days ago

Then open up the Vatican and let us see whats behind them walls and let us see how much gold ya'll have and then tell us why all you grown-ass men are still allegedly celibate. That is not a virtue. If every man did that, then we would be disobeying the word of God: Be fruitful and multiply.

livhoward.bsky.social•48 days ago

He is a great choice! I loved that he prayed to Divine Mother asking for Her blessings. He is from a monastic order. His calm and spirituality were on full display.

montessorian.bsky.social•47 days ago

I hope Pope Leo introduces a new order the Servants of the Children of Light, who “drawing from the rich tradition of St. Benedict, serve the Church by contemplative prayer, and have the apostolate of Catholic Montessori education.” https://servantsofthechildrenoflight.org

danlia1.bsky.social•48 days ago

EVEN NON-RELIGIOUS AMERICANS ARE RELIEVED: NO LONGER WILL WE SOLELY BE KNOWN FOR OUR DESPICABLE, CRUEL, INCOMPETENT TYRANT TRUMP. AMERICA HAS NOW PRODUCED AN INTELLIGENT, COMPASSIONATE LEADER. A MORAL LEADER WHO KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF CARING FOR THE LEAST OF US, RATHER THAN ONLY ENRICHING HIMSELF.

erin6.bsky.social•48 days ago

Perfectly said.
