Again: That church can have no right to be tolerated by themagistrate which is constituted upon such a bottom that allthose who enter into it do thereby ipso facto deliver themselvesup to the protection and service of another prince. For by thimeans the magistrate would give way to the settling of a foreign jurisdiction in his own country, and suffer his own people to be listed, as it were, for soldiers against his owngovernment. Nor does the frivolous and fallacious distinctionbetween the court and the church afford any remedy to thisinconvenience; especially when both the one and the otherare equally subject to the absolute authority of the samewho has not only power to persuade the membershis church to whatsoever he lists, (either as purely religious,or as [62] in order thereunto) but can also enjoin it them onpain of eternal fire. It is ridiculous for anyone to profess himself to be a Mahometan only in his religion, but in every- thing else a faithful subject to a Christian magistrate, whilstat the same time he acknowledges himself bound to yieldblind obedience to the Mufti of Constantinople, who himself isentirely obedient to the Ottoman Emperor, and frames thefeigned oracles of that religion according to his pleasure. I But this Mahometan living amongst Christians would yet more apparently renounce their government if he acknowledgedthe same person to be head of his church who is the suprememagistrate in the state.--John Locke, Letter Concerning Toleration, p 91,93 https://dn720006.ca.archive.org/0/items/locke-toleration-tolerantia-lateng-archive/Locke%20-%20Toleration%20-%20Tolerantia%20%5Blat%3Deng%5D%20archive.pdf
No pope objected when Obama was deporting at double the rate of Trump.
Leo has TDS.
Why so high Leonine walls and Swiss Guards?
“We stand with Pope Leo XIV, who is rebuilding the American hierarchy in their image.”
Thanks for the admission. Rebuilding = replacing
That pope would never had been chosen if he were thought to be a stand-up guy.
The Vatican is now an enemy of Western Civilization, kind of like what Malachi Martin predicted.
When is the Vatican going to tear down its wall and accept refugees from all nations?
What a flaming hypocrite!!!
Nothing says the list can’t be:
Venezuela
Iran
The Vatican
God forbid there be prisons for drug mobs and human traffickers.
The Vatican are behaving like days of the inquisition except in the reverse. They will defrock any Catholic priest who espouses the teachings of Jesus Christ.
They want their priest to:
Push the homosexual agenda.
Push the globalist world order.
Push the climate disruption scam.
Push the policies that are advocated by the evil progressive socialist’s.
The Vatican is the Whore of Babylon.
I don't believe for one minute that it was unlawful.
Some leftist, America hating judge just didn't like it.

“Pope Leo XIV Sends Former Undocumented Migrant to Trump’s West Virginia — Fulfilling the Retweet That Foretold His Papacy”. I heard about this guy from West Virgina, would disappear into the jungle and come back with leaves and stems and cook it with his ham and lima beans.
All the tired leftist tropes bundled up in fancy robes and put in power as an intentional discouragement to American Catholics and as another attempt to flip the bird to Trump.
Since we know pastors are held to account for their flock, these ought to tremble, but they won’t.
Actually I suspect that like other political leftists they CAN’T quit because the way the left works is by blackmail and corruption.
