Pope Leo XIV

[1moretimeagain]

With Pope selection, Vatican aims to avoid tariffs.

He’s socially progressive, so he’s expected to continue Pope Francis’ policies.

I know that upsets you.

The conservative Catholics who were hoping for a pope who ignored and/or opposed the lessons of Christ won’t be happy.

Doesn't upset me. I know that upsets you.

“… And with the United States now a diminished superpower, an American who understands and appreciates that diversity could prove to Trump that the papacy is no laughing matter.

… In 1899, Pope Leo XIII even wrote a letterwarning of the dangers of “Americanism”—particularly expressed through an overzealous emphasis on individual liberty—as a potential heresy.

… Prevost’s remarks from an interview last year—saying that a Catholic bishop is “not supposed to be a little prince sitting in his kingdom” but instead is “called authentically to be humble, to be close to the people he serves, to walk with them, to suffer with them”—have reverberated in Rome in recent days….”

Imagine that Trump will take credit and say that the reason this happened is because the world respects the USA more with him in charge?

Trump will issue an executive order to change the name of Vatican City to America City

 

[Icky Mettle]

He didn’t write that.

I’m literally counting the minutes until that exact tweet is sent by him. It’s a forgone conclusion that he’ll somehow take credit for it.

Math degree from Villanova. Wonder if we'll hear any Wildcat smack from the Vatican during basketball season.

A Poke?

That’s what Captain Augustus McCrae called it.

 

[Ramrouser]

Centrist with progressive views on social issues. Registered Republican btw.

The Vatican experts on TV found it significant that Leo wore the traditional, ceremonial Pope attire vs the simple, all white, attire favored by Francis.

That’s what Captain Augustus McCrae called it.

"A man who wouldn't cheat for a poke doesn't want one bad enough"

 

[ZenMode]

He didn’t write that.

You have to wonder how difficult it is for Trump's part-time social media administrator to write like a 4th grader to make the posts seem legit.

Shouldn't the first American pope have picked a name like "Dave" or "Jim" or "Frank" or something? Pope Dave I has a nice ring to it.
