Pope Leo Criticizes ‘Exclusionary Mindset’ of Political Nationalism
Breitbart ^ | June 8th 2025 | Breitbart London

VATICAN CITY (AP) – Pope Leo XIV criticized the surge of nationalist political movements in the world as he prayed Sunday for reconciliation and dialogue – a message in line with his pledges to make the Catholic Church a symbol of peace.

The pope celebrated Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square in front of tens of thousands faithful, and asked the Holy Spirit to “break down barriers and tear down the walls of indifference and hatred.”

“Where there is love, there is no room for prejudice, for ‘security’ zones separating us from our neighbors, for the exclusionary mindset that, tragically, we now see emerging also in political nationalisms,” the first American pontiff said.

He did not name any specific country or politician.

Leo also recalled the words of late Pope Francis, who – on the feast of Pentecost in May 2023 – observed that in our world “we are all connected, yet find ourselves disconnected from one another, anaesthetized by indifference and overwhelmed by solitude.”

The pope also condemned wars, which “are plaguing our world,” and asked the Holy Spirit for “the gift of peace.”

We can not let Third World people take over our jobs, housing and political systems.

“ for ‘security’ zones separating us from our neighbors,”

Tell him to go live in Israel with none of his security.

Religious leaders in Christianity are often bleeding heart naifs.

I had some HOPE that he wasn’t going to be yet another Leftard Pope, but now that he’s spoken a few times, well...

According to him, you need to keep loving our unvetted, illegal ‘neighbor’ right up until he stabs you in the back.

Okey-Dokey!

I stopped caring about what the Pope thought in 1517.

Tear down this wall. Send the Swiss Guard on vacation. Open the library. Sell the Pope Mobile. House a bunch of terrorists in the Vatican.
