ANALYSIS First American pope in history has strong record of defending sanctity of human life
Live Action ^ | May 8, 2025 | Cassy Cooke

Want to know how long the new pope has been active in pro-life?

- Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, was co-founder of the campus right-to-life organization “Villanovans for Life”—the oldest college pro-life club in the U.S. (he was Class of 1977)! @samuelhlee

- @JennieMFL Love that our new Pope is a marcher for Life! 🎉🎈👏

- Robert Prevost @drprevost Marcha por la vida en Chiclayo. ¡Defendamos la vida humana en todo momento!

- @CatHadro And in a sentence I never thought I would write - Pope Leo XIV once retweeted my husband’s news article. “Catholic group to Illinois governor: veto abortion funding bill”

Live Action founder and president Lila Rose also responded to the announcement of Pope Leo XIV in a livestream, reacting to the conclave results.

“Listen, I see people in the chat saying, well, is this a progressive Pope? Is this a conservative Pope? And guys, it doesn’t matter what political label, depending on what statement he makes, you might want to give him one day or the next,” Rose said. “… [T]he Pope cannot change matters of faith and morals from the seat of Peter. So that’s true north. And God in his providence is going to use this new Pope. Have confidence in that.”

By the way, he is not American. Born in Chicago but a citizen of Peru? Thats either no longer US citizen or split loyalties.

I guess I dont care so long as he stays out of US politics.

That’s not gonna happen. He was elected to meddle in US politics.

His two years at the head of the Augustinian province of Our Lady of Good Counsel (1999-2001) were the subject, 20 years later, of fierce criticism from the American press. The issue was his attitude in a case of sexual abuse of minors involving a member of his congregation. In September 2000, in his capacity as provincial, Father Prevost had given his approval to Father James Ray, a religious convicted of sexual abuse of minors and sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment, to stay at an Augustinian priory near an elementary school.

For two years, the cleric continued to celebrate weddings and baptisms, while also working as a hospital chaplain. It wasn’t until 2002, with the tightening of rules established by the American episcopate, that this priest was removed from that residence, before being laicized in 2012 following the discovery of new cases implicating him.

Let’s hope that nothing of Chicago has influence - we all know that that city competes for “King of Corruption”.

“so long as he stays out of US politics.”
Amen. As they say.
As a Roman Catholic I can wait and see what he does in his new position. He can be Good or Bad. History has its track record.
I don't wake up everyday wondering what the Pope has to say. Especially about the administration of MY Country.
Stick to the job description and well be fine.
My duty is to my Family and My Nation.
Don't ever get between those two. I don't care who you are. That being said. Best of Luck to the new Pope.

He was quickly elevated by Frankie. You know he is going to be as bad or worse.

And yes, he will meddle in US politics. He is from Chicago.

Him and Amy Coney Barrett. Pro-life is one data point, not the whole picture.

I’m just waiting for similar endorsements
from W Bush, Pelosi, Joe Biden, Bill or Hillary....

When The Lying Kenyan is
leading the way, it’s bad.

Well he was very pro covid-clot shot; despite it being derived from the murder of babies.

He was elected Pope faster than Shadeur Sanders was drafted.

He went to Peru shortly after being ordained, was there for years, then went to the Vatican. He has never been a priest in the US. Not really American at all.

Do these “popes” do the world more good or harm?

Yeah - but that’s a prerequisite for being Catholic, let alone a pope...
