Pope Leo XIV is so WOKE! He might be a radical leftist .

[IcyPeas]

I am an ex catholic but I like that he has some good modern qualities. It's so bizarre that JD vance wanted to meet him (and the previous pope too). Vance is anything but godly.

Incarcerated people in this country are allowed to receive communion but the detainees being taken by ICE are not allowed to. The Pope said they should be able too.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV will share a meal this Sunday with Alessia Nobile and four fellow transgender Catholic activists, during the Vatican’s Jubilee of the Poor — marking the most significant public encounter shared between a pope and the trans community.

NEW: During a Vatican audience, a prominent same-sex couple told Pope Leo XIV they were married.

The pope responded with overwhelming kindness — and a conversation about the day’s Wordle.

This quiet moment may signal something bigger: the kind of Church Pope Leo intends to build.

NEW: In a major shift, U.S. Catholic bishops elected two vocal critics of Trump’s immigration policies to lead their national conference. The move comes after Pope Leo XIV urged the hierarchy to defend migrant families more forcefully.

Pope Leo slammed the “soulless economy” that leaves millions to starve while billionaires live in excess.

“Every starving child is a cry that rises to heaven as an offense to God.”

Pope Leo called on U.S. bishops to speak with one voice on migrant dignity.

Now Archbishop Alexander Sample — a leading conservative prelate — has answered.

In a new statement, he condemns the Trump-Vance ICE raids and affirms: “Their dignity comes from God, not government.”

The Trump-Vance White House is orchestrating a full-scale frontal assault on the religious liberty of the Catholic Church.

Who do you believe — the ICE spokeswoman or Pope Leo?

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

Further proof JD Vance is not a good Catholic. This is basic catechism stuff. It will be interesting to see how far Pope Leo XIV pushes against what this administration is doing.

And this funny one:

In 1998, Fr. Robert Prevost told his seminarians to pee on a frozen windshield.

They were stuck in the Andes, en route to an ordination. No defroster. No time to waste.

“Someone has to urinate on it,” he said. Someone did. The van kept moving.

That priest became pope.

2. I'm not Catholic

but I lobe the guy! I just wish he'd excommunicate a few folks.....or at least tell them to go to confession and stop skipping over stuff when they do!

3. He's on a mission from God

9. Lois's like a Blues Brother .

On a Mission From God.

4. This is the only pope I've ever approved of.

He advocates a gospel of inclusion, bar none,
filled with love and kindness.

Wow

[Scrivener7]

5. He's also in the process of kneecapping Opus Dei, which is a very quiet organization but one which

is hugely influential in the most vicious parts of right wing politics.

[IcyPeas]

8. Interesting. I'll look that up.

[CozyMystery]

6. He seems to be an actual Christian! :-) nt

7. I'm a non believer, but boy do we ever need this..

As the corrupt administration makes unsubstantiated claims that Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria, ICE goons are arresting and abusing Christians every day and our Navy is blowing up Christian fishermen...

Trump is murdering Christians. Where is the outcry from the evangelicals, Protestants, Mormons, etc.. What would Jesus do? Germany claimed to be a "Christian" country as they threw babies into gas chambers.
