I find it maddening that the far left bags of feces says American infants have no right to life and can be aborted at will but foreign scumbags born on American soil have the right to the “American Dream” financed by the U.S. Taxpayers. Why don’t we just make it where any non-American how sneaks into the country and drops a “deuce” on American soil is automatically a U.S. Citizen? How come no other country on the planet gives away “birthright citizenshit?” Only the country with millions of Caucasian taxpayers? Now that people never elected by Americans have decided they are members of the Department of Supreme Beings in America we can expect those 860 junior “judgey” ahos and their junior Supreme Court idiots to pass injunctions that we owe everyone with black skin millions in “reparations” although whitey already paid millions of them millions of bucks for Singing, Dancing and playing sports for us.

He’s playing the long game against Vance, first trying to win back anti-woke Catholics.

Sad, we have to get excited about basic truths being stated by a Pope!
How far have we fallen?

We have come to a sad state of affairs when a simple statement of Catholic doctrine coming from the Pope is cause for praise and rejoicing.

But it is. And the praise and rejoicing is deserved.

Dear Lord, please continue to flood your servant Leo XIV with the graces necessary to be a good and holy Pope.

She actually said she was not a militant atheist, even if not all of her followers got the memo. She was primarily against mysticism, and the average wokie is much more mystical than modern Jews & Christians (i.e. thinking objective truth is a manifestation of white supremacy)

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Just like we almost lost our country under Biden, we almost lost our church under Francis.

God apparently has finally fixed the pendulum.

Look at the closeness of the events: Inaugeration Day - Jan 20 2025 and Death of Pope - April 21 2025. Less than 100 days apart. What are the chances?

It's a new beginning for both.

Have you considered the possibility he is playing the long game against the woke Left?

Amen.

Praying for the continued sanity and righteousness of this Pope and the Catholic Church.

This comment doesn't make any sense. Vance is a convert the Pope grew up in a very very Catholic family has been a priest, bishop and cardinal and now the Pope. That being said go and reread what Vance said about taking care of our neighbors and family and such. It was incorrect. And I don't think it was any kind of slapdown like some lefties said but he was incorrect.

I think you will find that Vance and the Pope will be getting along very well together in the near future.
