MAGA wanted the Pope to sound like Trump with a miter. Sorry, the Vatican doesn’t do Fox News monologues on demand. Leo gave the standard package: prayers, sorrow, a call to calm down. That’s what popes do. If you want brimstone and border talk, you’re in the wrong cathedral. Rome is in the business of keeping candles lit, not lighting torches for the culture war.
I loved his message (although other Christians probably see me as a heretic). He is a Faith Leader who is addressing his followers as “his children”.
That resonates with me wishing still to have an authentic teacher who is honest, compassionate, open to dialogue, disciplined himself. Someone who models nonviolent speech and love as activism.
He wants us build bridges, not participating in deepening divisions.
I agree completely. What’s strange is when I heard an American was going to be the new Pope I was so excited as a lot of ex Catholics were. We were hoping that the new Pope would show the way that MAGA were not the way of God. I head a family member say I was going to be disappointed. MAGA has lost it way . We need a new comprehensive immigration policy and I don’t know of any liberal who doesn’t. I am tired of getting blamed for this. The democrats need to campaign on this. The republicans are not doing anything about it .Why because it gets votes for them but no solution. Now because of algorithms, conservative Christian networks have been showing videos of Kirk that show the side of him as being a kind and loving person with his family and nothing else. This doesn’t show the other side of him but they don’t know that.
It was during Biden‘s last year in office. The bill was much more conservative than most Democrats wanted, but Democrats supported it as a bipartisan effort to address an issue of grave concern to the American people. Trump literally got on the phone and told every Republican to vote against it because he wanted to use the border as his major campaign issue in the 2024 elections. Sick!!
MAGA doesn’t know that they are not real Christians? They don’t grasp how far they are from Pope Leo ? Some how I always imagined that they understood this, that they knew that their idolatry of that politician put them far, faraway
The Pope is a Pope for all people, not affiliated with a political party- but if he were, he would align with true acts of love and inclusion, not rage and violence
Do we expect anything different? He follows in the footsteps of his mentor Francis... Heck, when George Floyd expired, Francis almost gave a Canonization homily... Leo gave a more sympathetic words of sympathy for the Duchess of Kent, who will have a Requiem Mass... Katherine, the Duchess lucky, Charlie probably a better Christian than many of our bishops gets what... words from Leo to the American Ambassador to the Vatican for Charlie's wife.. wow! You would think an American pope would be just a little more compassionate for a fellow American, no matter what your views might be of him... Leo, you keep striking out!
Why should Kirk, whose divisive and derogatory rhetoric, get special attention when on the same day there was another school shooting? NO ONE in America should be violently killed. The Christian faith says 'Love one another.' For many years, this has not been the message coming from America.

If I remember correctly there was a legislative bipartisan effort to reform the immigration policy but Trump or his party killed it.
I could be wrong, so please correct me if wrong. This must have been during his first reign,

Of course many are allegedly upset in maga. A person who practices Christianity & its precepts is a problem for those who don’t.

Pope Leo is leading the way of true Christian faith according to the Gospels. We are called to love one another.

Charlie Kirk was not a better Christian than the bishops. You’re putting politics before Jesus.
MAGA big ass babies can all go fuck each other
Scary when Satans representative is more correct In his response that the conservative Christian.
