If the morally-confused Pope Leo XIV continues to assume the role of a partisan podcaster, he will very quickly lose his moral authority.
And that’s exactly what Leo is doing.
We all expect a pope to talk about and pray for peace in times of war, express a desire for unity in times of political divisiveness, and to always appeal to the best in humanity. That’s not what this pope has done. Instead, apparently under the sway of Barry Obama’s hatchet man and former campaign manager, David Axelrod, Leo is recklessly engaging in a left-wing campaign to damage President Trump’s and the Republican Party’s standing with Catholics, and, by extension, his own standing as a credible spiritual leader.

In the end, all the Church has is moral authority.
But what the author writes about brings a new light to the claims of the Avignon papacy being brought up to a Vatican representative (I don't buy that actually happened).
Bible says the Governments are set in place by God.
David respected that when he did not kill Saul.
former Catholic here - got out because of that Jesuit pope, but this guy is no better - from the Chicago area at that
I’m continuously amazed over the last 10 years that our supposed intellectuals and erudite leaders and “statesman” that are supposed to represent the foundations of our current leadership turn into stark raving grade school playground loons in the face of Trump.
How can a person squander something they never had?
…” walls of the Vatican”
Did I miss something?
OK; but if you’re looking for the denomination with the perfect leader, you’ll be at it for a long while.
Or, another phrasing, if your faith rested upon the human leadership, it’s likely to continue to struggle no matter where you’ve landed.
I go to mass and have been to mass in three different states in the new year alone.
Something is happening. Much, much higher turnout in church.
Lots more young people, families etc…
Leo is part of the Chicago Democrat machine. His papacy will be worse than Francis’ disgraceful tenure.
Didn’t attend Saturday night Easter vigil, because as beautiful as it is and encouraging to see so many new people being baptized into the faith — it makes the service super long…But this was happening all over the world.
From San Francisco to France…So many new converts and reverts! 😲
Pope Bob is an anti American globalist shill.
Charlie Kirk: “The trend that we are seeing is a very positive one. People are seeking tradition...It’s a learning lesson for a lot of pastors I talk to. If you are not creating an environment where the people that come to your church can find holiness and meaning and be elevated, you’re not doing your job.
There was a time in the nineties where people were hungry for a personal encounter with God, and Evangelicalism I think offers that better than some Catholicism circles. Maybe that’s to be debated, but times change and needs an appetites change. And I could tell you on Saturday evening, I wanted to honor Our Lord the night before the Resurrection, so I knew the local Catholic church was doing an Easter vigil. Mind you, this goes from eight pm to midnight. An Easter vigil is a very long standing tradition in the Catholic Church, where they read basically almost the entire Bible.
I go there and I couldn’t find a seat at ten pm at night on a Saturday night, and over half the people there were people my age. It was like a selfie line just trying to get in there...I said, is this a Turning Point rally or is this an Easter vigil?
I’m not Catholic, but I went there because when I walk into that specific Catholic church, it points up. It’s not a Costco with a rock band and a Ted Talk and good coffee. To be honest, I’ve had enough of that. I don’t want to go to Sam’s Club to go to church in a school gym. Kind of enjoyed the holiness, the beauty, the pageantry, the structure, the tradition of the reverence. So I totally get it. God bless those churches for elevating our soul.”
The mass I go to in north Texas regularly has over a 1000 people in attendance, and we have to arrive 30 minutes early to even get a seat. It is busting at the seams.
We are experiencing that at our parish too, which is a small one.
A very nice post. As a Catholic I would just want to let you know that we Catholics really don’t concentrate on the Bible in the same way that Protestants do.
For Catholics we tend to concentrate on The New Testament Gospels and The Acts Of The Apostles.
But is it the woke crowd because this Pope is seemingly forgiving of the LBGTQ crowd?
See post 12, one of Charlie Kirk’s takes on what appealed to *him* about Catholicism and why he’s been going to mass..
Vicarius Christi (Latin) is translated to Anti Christos in Greek. The pope is not THE Antichrist, but he certainly is an Antichrist.
Thus far, Leo appears to be Francis lite. Not to worry, he is working daily to exceed Francis in every awful way.
No disrespect, but what is the logic of a Catholic Pope taking spiritual direction from a secular Jewish gentleman and his muslim puppeteer?
