I loved reading this as I in this short time have come to admire Pope Leo a lot - I am a non-practicing catholic but I love how he is standing up challenging the politics of America - I think he is calling back Catholics who went “to the dark side” of politics and forgetting about helping not hurting people. I hope he stays safe and healthy.

This post was beautiful. I loved Pope Francis and the idea that he was instrumental in the naming of Pope Leo gives me great hope and inspiration. I feel even more blessed to have been alive for Pope John Paul II, (Pope Benedict), Pope Francis and now Pope Leo.

This is a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to read this book. Pope Leo is the perfect choice, I love knowing that Pope Francis saw this clearly. 🤍

Dean Blundell just posted on Trump vs Pope. He did mention that Trump cancelled 11 million in funding for Catholic Charities Miami, that provides services for immigrant children, apparently as a gotchya against the pope, by causing yet more harm to children. He mentioned how Trump posted (and has been saying widely) that he likes the Pope’s brother, Louis, because he is “all maga.” I was going to respond to Dean’s post by mentioning that the pope’s brother in Chicago recently received a bomb threat against him at his home, requiring the entire block to be evacuated to assess the threat… I was going to respond to Dean’s post, but it is only open to paid suscribers. I might have seen mention of the bomb threat by you Christopher, but I am barely processing the insanity of the full scope of what the regime is doing and has in place. And you might know this, but is Southern Poverty Law Center tracking hate crimes against Catholics? Humbly submitted, Em

Thank you for this. Since Pope Leo was chosen I have known Pope Francis planned it this way. The Holy Spirit knows the world and especially the US needs a special pope to guide us.
