Pope Leo and I share a lot of similarities.

MAGA isn’t prepared to accept any truth, or be educated on any topic. They want to use book-less judgment based on propaganda fed to them.

They can’t help themselves.

Yet it’s good for the rest of us to teach the truth about science, math and education.

Repentance would mean they have the ability to understand what they do is wrong, and MAGA is incapable of understanding this basic human trait.

If they had a pope like this in the 1970’s I might still be a practicing Catholic rather than a former Catholic. A breath of fresh air finally in the church! I hope all the Catholics in America recognize his prescience and follow his dictates. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🥰

Chris, THANK YOU!

What a great article and homage to Pope Francis.

Really the HOLY SPIRIT is the ONE who sustained the great gift of Creation. May the same SPIRIT bless those who decided to live in denial, and protect the efforts of Pope Leo.

What an AMAZING ceremony he led in Rome and may the WATER used at our baptisms renewed the face of the beautiful MOTHER EARTH!

You know, Christopher, one of your commentators said something very interesting. I’d like to share that with you:

“Reading Christopher's bio on X was enlightening. I did not know he was a former Democratic congressional nominee, DNC delegate, Obama-Biden White House & campaign alum. I expected unbiased coverage of Pope Leo. Now I know. That is what the Unsubscribe button is for. Just glad I did not send a donation or sign up for a paid subscription. Will pray for him.”

So basically, you’re nothing but a Democratic Party operative. And your cohorts are nothing but political operatives. So how much much did the DNC pay you guys to imitate Catholics?

Are you trying to say there are no Catholic democrats? Or are you trying to say that they have bastardised direct quotes from Leo?

These views are laughable. You need to reexamine your understanding of the world. I dont care if they are democrat or republican as long as the reporting of Leo's words is accurate. This is all anyone here is asking for, besides you who demands they are politically neutral to report. Grow up!

Of course I’m not saying there are no Catholic Democrats. The hierarchy is full of them. What I’m saying is I believe that Christopher is a mole. He criticizes Catholics who support MAGA for putting their political views over their faith, but he does the exact same thing. He and his two cohorts are nothing but political operatives who are piggybacking on Leo’s views for their own purposes.

By the way, the next time you tell somebody to “grow up,” you might want to have a more realistic view of human nature that comes from years lived, motherfucker!
