5 worrying things you need to know about Leo XIV
https://www.lifesitenews.com ^ | May 8, 2025 | John Henry Westen

Prevost is a vocal critic of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration and has consistently used his X account to promote material hostile to Trump’s immigration policies.

In one instance from February 3, Prevost reposted an article by NCROnline titled “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.” The article criticizes the U.S. vice president for correctly arguing that we owe more immediate responsibility to our own family members and country than to those overseas – a position taught by St. Thomas Aquinas and reiterated in the “social encyclicals” of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century popes.

He shared a similar article by dissident America Magazine on the same topic days later.

Persecuted Bishop Strickland, appointed McElroy

As head of the Congregation for Bishops, Prevost was instrumental in the removal of Bishop Strickland from Tyler, Texas, and the leading French conservative bishop, Dominique Rey, from his diocese of Fréjus-Toulon.

Meanwhile, he has placed openly heterodox bishops in sees worldwide. The most notorious is Cardinal McElroy, who was installed as Archbishop of Washington despite being implicated in the cover up of sexual abuse by ex-Cardinal McCarrick

Banned Communion on tongue, promoted invalid confessions

During COVID, Prevost imposed receiving Communion on the hand, and Confession by telephone, which is both invalid and sacrilegious.

He also reposted a call for the abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccines to be “available for all” and a USCCB post that called getting vaccinated “an act of love.”

Support of synodality and the ‘synodal church’

A strong supporter Francis’s radical agenda, Prevost supports “synodality.” He has suggested that “synodality” is the solution to “the current polarization currently gripping the Church.” He dismissed those who “prefer the security of answers already experienced in the past.” 

Prevost restated this goal during his speech from the loggia in his first public appearance following the conclave, in which he said, “we want to be a synodal Church.”

With the current direction, there will probably be a schism, traditionalists will join the Eastern Orthodox Church. Time will tell.

This RAT is a bigger punk than Frankie was. Now the Cardinals will be suing Trump and will be bringing temporary injunctions “for now” all the time. A Pope from Chicongo. ROTFL! Al Capone would be so proud.

Let’s see if they dare to excommunicate Trump, while ignoring the far worse sins of Obama bin Biden. The Church would lose credibility very quickly.

It’s not the gays in the priesthood I worry about.What is it, 90%? It is the priests who are targeting the children.

It’s not the gays in the priesthood I worry about. So many of them are gay.

It is the priests who are targeting the children that need to be eliminated.

A pope can’t excommunicate a non-Catholic, silly.

Excommunicate Trump? Exactly how would the Pope of Rome go about excommunicating a Presbyterian?

Next up: how King Charles III of the UK is in danger of losing his Mexican citizenship!

Just ask for a copy of the Vatican’s own laws and statistics on immigration & say that we will look at them as a Case Study for something to consider adopting for America.

No Catholic believes that Pelasgian heresy of being saved by works. The Catechism which nites Church beliefs makes it explicit that

1. We are saved by Grace alone, through the one time sacrifice of Jesus, who is the Word of God and IS God

2. No one can save oneself

Do you hold to the Saved by faith ALONE, when Jesus Himself said that repentance, belief, baptism, eating of His body and enduring to the end us the way.

All I needed to know was that Obama endorsed and praised him. That is ALL I need to know.
