Pope Leo offers his strongest criticism of Trump yet
BBC ^ | 11-6-25 | Sarah Rainsford

Posted on 11/07/2025 4:30:48 AM PST by MarlonRando

Speaking in English, and reaching a US audience directly, he reiterated the Catholic belief that every Christian will ultimately be judged on how they welcomed "the foreigner". In some of his strongest criticism to date of President Donald Trump's administration, the first ever US-born pope also warned that the US bombing of Venezuelan ships, suspected of carrying drugs, risked increasing tensions in the region.

“Pope will follow Christ. Christ says turn the other cheek.”

The recent Popes only turns the other cheek to one side. They also ignore the beam in their own eyes.

Another Pope with a lot of opinions on political issues. Great. Maybe he could give us his opinion on whether the Senate filibuster should be eliminated.

This is why, except for Easter, i’ve not gone to mass the past five years.. and i used to be a proud practicing Catholic who went to mass by himself every weekend- even as a kid...

I got good news for you. You do not need the church to love God. A good church is a great thing but it is not a requirement.

This clown was elected pope just to criticize Trump. The homos at the vatican thought Americans would listen to a fellow American no matter how much of a heretical POS he is. Just like his predecessor. I’ll go back to church when they have a real Pope again and purge all the faggots. Which means never.

While the Pope has remained silent, it is President Trump who has openly acknowledged the plight and massacre of Nigerian Christians

+++++++++++

Trump in the MAN IN THE ARENA the pope is not. He is a wanna be. He is so very weak and compromised. The muslim prayer accommodations at the Vatican sealed the deal for me. Prevost is a failure.

I’d like to see a proper Biblical pope before I die. We haven’t had one for some time.

I once spent a few weeks in Columbia for work. I realized if I ever moved there, even if it was for one year, I’d immediately work hard to learn Spanish. So if someone moves to the USA, shouldn’t they make a real effort to learn English?

Initially thought Leo was a fresh leader who would resolve VatII issues in the Church but was mistaken. The Schisms will continue struggling until Vat II is reversed.

Pope Leo XIV said there were people who have lived in the US “for years and years never causing problems, who have been deeply affected” by Trump’s hardline policy on migration.

Apparently, Pope’s with Leo’s agenda are the real problem with the Catholic Church

Why hasnt he been to Nigeria to bless Christian survivors of horrible islamist attacks.

Why hasnt he defended the Russian orthodox churches under assault by Kiev goons.

Why not to Syria and Lebanon to back the Christians under attack by islamists

Why not to Jerusalem?

His predecessor tried to do an exorcism on the entire country of Mexico.
Maybe start changing conditions via power of the Papacy that force people to flee Mexico Central and South America instead of condemning Americans being forced to support them instead of our own vulnerable citizens!

Pope will follow Christ. Christ says turn the other cheek. However, Donald Trump is tasked to do a job for a Republic. In that Republic there are those that are not Christians, but must be protected. The Pope has his flock, and Donald Trump has his, and both must protect and Shepards them. They are vastly different jobs, as the Pope is not able those who do not follow Christ. Donald Trump has an earthly obligation to protect this Republic and its Citizens, and I believe that God understands this, even if the Pope does not.

This DEI hire is indeed fulfilling prophecy. He is replicating one called a sheep trafficker... the acts described by the Prophet Joel. Sadly, these frauds got the US taxpayers to keep their so called charities flush with cash.

Come Dear Jesus Come.

It is noteworthy that those areas of New York City and New Jersey with large numbers of white Catholics have ignored the leftism of the current and the immediate predecessor Pope. Places like Ocean and Monmouth Counties, NJ and Staten Island are MAGA country. In the words of William Buckley, Mater Si, Magister No.
