Did he offer any criticism of Venezuela’s illegitimate tyrannical leader?? thought so....

Did he congratulate and thank President Trump for all his peace keeping efforts??? thought so....

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...

Welcoming the foreigner is one thing. Turning your country over to them is something else.

“What has Leo done for the Christians being murdered in Nigeria?”

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

I had a back and forth with someone i know on FB yesterday after there were claims the Heritage Foundation was anti-papal and i mentioned not only this, but the fact the last two popes were climate change nuts and that place must cost a fortune to heat in the winter and cool in the summer....

Pope John Paul II also publicly castigated central American leaders for the way they oppress and exploit the people of their nations....according to the past two popes the responsibility and blame lay at the feet of America...

> If you come to the US, you should try your best to learn basic English <

Unfortunately, that’s no longer necessary. Back when my grandparents came over from Hungary, they HAD to learn English to navigate in their new country.

Now everything is in multiple languages, including official documents. So why bother to learn English?

That’s Balkanization, and is obviously very bad for the country.

Given the present state of the BBC,which mirrors the near-future fall of the UK, no one gives an Obama what they say. I await the destruction of the BBC buildings to build a mosque from the top of which muzzies can toss people that they disagree with.

I think we can blame our feckless politicians in DC for not insisting on English as the official language. Their bleeding hearts led to this.

When Leo condemns Biden and Pelosi and Durbin and all of the other Abortion Catholic Democrats, he may recover some moral ground. In the meantime, he is just another enabler.

Listen to the WORDS of Leo. Millions will die during his reign. He’s certainly no LEO-Law Enforcement Officer.

Totally agree. There was a golden age during the first Trump presidency when the GOP had the White House, and both houses of Congress.

The Republican Congress could have accomplished great things, including making English the sole official language of the US. But they did little.

Now by golly, we’re in a second golden age. But once again, the Republican Congress isn’t doing anything really substantial.

Can a pope really be this moronic? There are legal legitimate foreigners and illegal INVADERS. America has a loooooong history of welcoming the foreigners.

Not distinguishing good from evil, not separating the light from the darkness, is not very Godly at all.

First order of business:

Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Now as for America, with her iconic gal holding up the torch in NY harbor ("only pay for what you need"), the whole world knows her Est. ID number: 1776

Gen 1:4 = 1776

"וירא אלהים את האור כי טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשך"

No wonder America is constantly under attack, her foundations "reimagined". There's always some eagle-eyed critic eager to "shine the light" on any and every fault,

as if shooting fish in a barrel is an actual skill. No shortage of "experts".

Another 1776 in that passage overlaps. It's verse 3 + the first half of verse 4:

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good"

ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי אור וירא אלהים את האור כי טוב

***

"Preach the GOOD News!" ~ Jesus of Nazareth

Meanwhile, this Pope appears to be some kind of foreign entity, downright unAmerican!

Just another globalist politician pushing the party line.

I'll give him points for style.
Despite being Pope, his delivery is less self righteous than EU politicians.

Looking like a vain hope these days. Anyways as far as welcoming the foreigner I have a Ukrainian mother and son living across the hall from me and I’ve done everything I can to make them feel welcome. She’s made borscht for me. :)

THIS pope is a dope! WHO cares what the “pope” says anyway? He is a heretic just like the last one. How Catholics don’t revolt against these revolting popes I just can’t understand.

While I disagree with Catholic doctrine at least I could have respect for their religion. How can anyone when the leader of your religion (Catholicism is a “religion” not a faith) is a heretic.

I’ve made this point here a couple times in the last few weeks. Neither Francis nor Leo called on the migrants to accept any responsibility to the societies they drop into. For crying out loud, one of them pissed on the high altar at St Peter’s a couple weeks ago, and Leo still hasn’t mentioned any responsibility of migrants for their behavior
