It’s true though. Not his wife, not his kids - not even Peter Thiel. Certainly Donald doesn’t. I’d feel sorry for him if he weren’t such an evil husk of a man.
I love that the new pope is American and is in step with Francis’ views on immigrants, REAL peace, the environment and how we are ALL brothers and sisters on this planet.
And how that will pose a dilemma for MAGA Catholics.
Well, they pretty much ignored Francis for the last 12 years. With any luck, Pope Leo will be around for a long, long time & can change the youth of the US Catholic Church to be more inviting & accepting.
Yeahhh... A couple of things about this new Pope concerns me. He's anti-LGBTQ+ and he's opposed to ordaining women as deacons. Therefore I already don't like him.
But I'm not Catholic, so whatever.
JD Scumbag should convert to Eastern Orthodox Church. Head of this pseudo church is former KGB operatives and headquarters in Moscow. He would be welcomed.
Vance is Opus Dei Catholic. There is a definite modern schism in the Roman Catholic Church. It heightened during the Russian Revolution of the early 20th Century. The Vatican opposes all of it.
Opus Dei neckbeards can suck it. Trump thinks he can make deals? Lemme negotiate Thomas Jefferson style on behalf of my great secular nation with this new Pope. We'll take down these weirdos together. You don't even have to change church doctrine. I just need some bioterrorist judges excommunicated
Catholics are known for being conservative with streaks of progressive, they are definitely illustrating how far the right wing has gone, out to the freakin boonies.
Only if the religion of solipsism existed could we speak of concentric and hierarchical love, from the absolute zero to the most concentrated selfishness at the center. And greed as the highest virtue.
Only those of us who are basically decent (ie: the general public minus Reform supporters). And btw it's 'queuing' or 'queueing', either is correct, we Brits love the activity so much we gave it two very strange and unintuative spellings!
I read his book when it first came out years ago, and couldn’t understand why he was lauded. But welcome to the party, Papa! Maybe he will criticize you for not saying thanks enough?
They wanted to dispute whether Barak Obama was born in the United States. I want to dispute whether JD Vance and Pam Bondi really went to law school. They should be forced to produce their diplomas and evidence of having attended at least one class.
My first thought when they said they elected the first American pope is that they wanted to select someone who could speak truth to the Trump regime and help the world navigate America's descent into fascism.
Just read that he is a mathematician by training. Sounds like he's a very logical, deliberative person who would be adept at dealing with science and technological issues. Sounds like a good choice.
It's kinda true. You gotta hate everyone you're supposed to love in order to be a member of the cult.
Luke 14:26 says, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple".
Has Donald made the connection of *both* Pope Leo and Pres Obama having southside Chicago in common? We need the 2 Chicago guys to meet-up, w/ lots of pics/videos 😂 And Pope Leo, with his Creole & *Haitian* ancestry (g-parents from Louisiana), would like a word w/ Donald/JD about Haitian hate talk
I wonder how soon before dumbass donald claims credit for an American to be elected pope? I can hear him now - “ No American pope till I was elected.” What a dumbass!
There are around 8 billion humans on the planet. Out of all of them, there are only 5-6 people who do NOT despise JD Vance. So, odds were likely this tradition would be kept intact.
In this moment, while we sit in the shame of the vulgar, greedy, cruel, dishonest and destructive action of our political leaders, I am unsure of how to take in the news of an American pope. Our country is at a low point. How does the papacy counter our actions in the world. Juxtaposition noted.
The Christian right has lost their way. Mary and Joseph were migrants. They would've called Jesus an "anchor baby."
The righteous will ask Him, ‘Lord when did we see You a stranger and invite You in?'
The King will answer ‘To the extent that you did it to the least of my brothers, you did it to Me.’
White Catholic voters lean Republican, with 57% identifying with or leaning toward the Republican Party. This represents a significant shift since 2008, when only 41% supported the GOP. I hope this pope, who is apparently reasonable and good person, can maybe win the lost souls back for humanity.
He is 'American' because he has two nationalities: the US and Peru. Oh, and his father was French and his mother Italian. So there quite a bit of Europe in there too.
Pope Francis reaches from beyond the grave, to slap JD for being the harbinger of his demise, and inspiring a the conclave to elect a PRO-IMMIGRANT Pope, who’s an American from a blue state!
Shame new Pope isn't a black bloke to top it off. MAGA KKK going nuts already, but they would commit collective suicide on live TV. Otherwise I agree about JDV. But then you have to be a brick to like JDV. Even couches run away from him. 🤣
Sure, but it would be poetic justice if it was black American. Still Leon XIV is Cuban-Peruvian American which as DEI as possible and it drives MAGAs up the walls. I’ll drink to that, even if I don’t drink alcohol. 😆I’ve proverbial🍿🍿🍿ready.
Thank god for Pope Leo. US needs this so hard right now. It has to mean what we all think it does. Not to take away from him deserving it. There's a time and place, and that is here and now. What Trump must be thinking right now... 🤔
Will this US Pope become a Trump lacky? With billions in church assets in the US, will Trump hold this as hostage or extortion to bend the church to his will? Nothing is impossible with Drumpster.
As it should be.
I absolutely could not resist my brain recalling this song from whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymT4kJqRX9w&list=OLAK5uy_kduToK0DxMk2ujkzUVDJ3Xguq2fWxA0-E&index=12hen I was 14.
And have been reading and looks like he's six of one, half dozen of another. He might not like chump and couchfark, but he also seems to be no ally of LGBTQ folks and opposes ordination of female deacons. We'll see. Could have been worse, but doesn't quite look like he will fill Francis' shoes.
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.
NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! Let's have a few former high ranking military people on to discuss the possible #MilitaryRemoval of the entire anti-constitutional Trump Fascist regime who have become a Terrorist & National Security threat with their crimes. It's a viable avenue to pursue. #RemoveTheThreat

But I'm not Catholic, so whatever.

Vaticans choice? Place your bets folks !
(Vance is one of those Catholics who are not Christians)
Hoping the Vatican is tired of maga idolatry.

I like almost everyone, and I don't like JD Vance.
The righteous will ask Him, ‘Lord when did we see You a stranger and invite You in?'
The King will answer ‘To the extent that you did it to the least of my brothers, you did it to Me.’
Put that hypocrite in his place!!!
I love it!!!!
After Canada.

Not one person outside the WH, wherever in the world likes JD vance, In fact he is universally hated.
Vance’s born name.
Jimmy Bowman.
Jim-bo.
Note to Pope Leo;
“DONT TOUCH JIMMY!!!!”
