BOMBSHELL: The First American Pope Once Marched With Italian Communists Against Reagan’s Missiles — And the Photo Proves It

1983, Comiso, Sicily — the epicenter of NATO’s Double-Track Decision.

A freshly ordained American Augustinian, Fr. Robert Francis Prevost, marches arm-in-arm with fellow priests in a demonstration organized by the Italian Communist Party (PCI).

Their target? Ronald Reagan’s Ground-Launched Cruise Missiles — the West’s calibrated answer to Soviet SS-20 nuclear blackmail aimed at the heart of Europe.

That same priest is now Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff.

While St. John Paul II — forged in the furnace of Polish resistance — waged spiritual war on the ‘Evil Empire,’ his future successor lent his cassock to the PCI’s red march.

Gramsci’s ‘long march through the institutions’ reached all the way to the Throne of Peter?

One photograph. An eternal disturbance.

The white smoke rises… but the red flags still whisper.

Contemplate this in silence, Church.

Raise your hand if you never did anything stupid politically when you were young.

How do we know that is actually him? I’m not defending the guy, but I want to know whether it is actually true before passing it on to people I know. The only thing that’s there is a photo that includes some priest, and I can’t even see anything in the photo confirming that it is a Communist march. Nor is there any link in the twitter post that indicates a source for identifying the priest shown in that photo.

That was a known communist movement funded and fed by the Russians.

That was a white hot anti-America/anti-West/anti-Reagan movement of incredible levels and led by Russia, and Putin was involved in that Soviet led agitation, and Americans were dying from the terrorism coming out of it, we literally had to walk around the terror bombing damage at places like the Frankfurt airport, terrorism attacks were taking place against army bases and against government individuals and individual American GIs.

To be fair, I was a teenager in the 1980’s. It was hard to do stupid political stuff with Reagan as prez.

that picture could be of anyone.

This linked article from an Italian website published on May 8, 2025 authenticates the picture.

La Nazione Florence: The Pope's Italian friend: "Those swims in the lakes in Illinois" - Father Giuseppe Pagano, prior of the Augustinian community in Florence, has known Prevost for 42 years: "I was a student of theology and he had recently been a priest. He called me before entering the Conclave".

You'll have to translate the page into English.

—> I’m not Catholic nor support him but that picture could be of anyone.

As it turns out, it isn’t Clarence Thomas, so no.

Wait! Maybe.. no! Sorry thought it was Marilyn Monroe, but nope.

Jackie Chan? Wait, no again.

Was he near David Axelrod and Obama? Birds of a feather.

Photo....

That nose is definitely his.

Nose recognition software could help. It is actually a factor used along with spacing of features. Mug shots in databases may help.

“Nodal Point Analysis: Algorithms map up to 80 nodal points, specifically analyzing features such as the width of the nose, distance between eyes, shape of cheekbones, and depth of eye sockets.
Discriminative Power: Research indicates that the nose area has significant discriminative power, giving it high importance in recognition performance.”

Someday I will take over and dominate the world’s lowly underclass who will stand on chairs to cheer for me.

How is this a "bombshell"?

It's not like he has to answer to an American electorate. And lots of people will like him even better,

It's a big so what.

It’d be a bombshell if he isn’t a communist. The way he and his predecessor kowtow to the chicoms and muzzies is the tell.

Bobbie has now turned the Catholic Church into a branch of Islam.

Popes are generally pretty liberal. Except JPII.

The rest I have no real use for.
