This power move to elect Pope Leo XlV will mirror Pope John Paul ll during the Cold War in crushing fascism. We should all be grateful, regardless of faith or no faith. This will open a new lens to Trump’s inhumanity and cruelty.
It would be like the first US Pope to annihilate 2,000 year old Catholic Christianity & turn it into another Woke, DEI, Green New Nightmare, Social Justice movement away from God & Catholicism. Pope Leo XIV loves 360 degrees of 30 foot solid walls, & thinking he can change the weather like Jesus.
Me? I'm not the one you're going to have the problem with, when your man of peace and love continues to call out those fascist pricks whom you probably voted for (am I right?).
'Cuz he absolutely did go "political". And good on him for doing so.
The Pope is the one person in the world Trump cannot touch:
Not with threats
Nor bribes
Nor trade deals
Nor with tweets or “truthies”.
Must drive Trump bonkers.
Already MAGA are losing their sh*r over the selection of a Pope the rest of the world cheered snd celebrated.
Most fun I’ve had in months
Simply shows the horror of this regime. Cardinals typically don’t butt their noses into international politics. But we’ve crossed the Rubicon or literally a few miles away. So…
This gives us a clear picture of what
Pope Leo's priorities are and what he cannot bear to overlook. He's far from perfect but it's obvious to me that this is a good and decent man.
Perhaps rhetorical, but I suspect he won’t, neither will I…nor will you Kara. We all care so much about democracy, justice, our rights, rule of law, and each other.
If the pope was serious about all that he would have came and told Catholics he endorsed Harris. Instead like so many world leaders they just kind of stayed quiet. This is not the first time a pope has done nothing in the face of fascism.
I have run out of fucks to give, too. Why? Because I know the fight against evil is a never ending battle that nobody will win. I, like Pope Leo, know the harsh truth, and that harsh truth is that you will never get rid of evil. Evil doesn't disappear. It just changes forms, and personalities.
Besides, Trump is America's problem. What did you yanks think was going to happen when you let idiots and lunatics vote with no restrictions in a country where at least half of the population is dumb enough to believe anything they are told without question?
Canada voted for a man with a PhD in Economics. Mexico voted for a woman with a PhD in Energy Engineering. Who did you yanks vote for? A circus barker who bankrupted four casinos.
The Pope doesn't need to clean up your excrement. You yanks need to clean up your own shit.
Grab a mop and start sweeping. You got quite a mess to clean up. And stop expecting the rest of us to help you. You brought this pile of shit on yourselves. You gotta clean up your own mess, then prove to us you won't make the same mistake a second time.
If the Pope is dope he ought to excommunicate every motherfucking catholic in administration and all those participating in immigrant kidnappings at DHS.
Gotta remember that while he is good on the really explicit teaching on humility, treating the poor, immigrants & refugees well, his views on more nuanced theological topics are sketchier.
It’s just sad that a normal pope is seen as woke. How far have the right fallen?
The Administration is all about the greed of man, while the Pope is all about the charity of the human heart. What you think of that says more about you than it does of the Pope.
So, the Pope’s human? He actually has opinions of his own? And they seem to be about kindness, humanity and empathy, and the leaders who are lacking in those traits. Yay Pope Leo!
Francis gave a stunning rebuke to the Evangelicals regarding pro life.
Essentially telling them that if you dont protect the child after birth, you are not pro life but you are pro selfish.
Since 2025 began he has been a Cardinal, in the United States. That gave him a bit of latitude to be vocal for causes. He is Pope now; as
Pope Leo XIV, we'll have to wait and see how he will respond to the inequities in the world.
Less is more. The words of a man who choses carefully when to speak them are much more powerful than the people who fill up social media with nonsense.
IMHO, the passage, “the truth will set you free”, is his staff and not being afraid of the psychos. I’m a pantheist and I find his demeanor peaceful and he exudes confidence and resilience. Life is politics and you can’t get away from it.

For those with and those of us without faith, decency & sacrifice are to be treasured.
Go well.
Not sure the pope has much choice where to have his office.
PS. You're still going to burn in hell - your idolatrous worship of a sexual deviant is offensive to the eyes of your god.
I'm an atheist.

God hates Trump.
Except I still have a few!

“New Pope, who dis?”
By their own rules they must NEVER let the mildest criticism of their criminality go without scorched-Earth attacks
The new Pope has thrown down bigtime with these idiots. Hmm. How to counterattack without pissing off American Catholics? Have fun!
The Pope doesn't need to clean up your excrement. You yanks need to clean up your own shit.
"the Pope is dope"

Here to bear gifts. I have scripts to contact congress with and infographics on hard topics and how our government works.

Just saying.
Still the head of one of the worst organisations in the world, though.
There was NO need to call out lies under Biden.

Leo will trounce evil. Aka- trump
..makes sense..actually.
I hear he's a friend of the Obama's, too.
I'll likely perish,..laughing this hard.
In the meantime, it would be great if Il Papa publicly called him to bi-weekly confessions 😂
did you post this year?”
Asking for a friend🫣😉
