Wil and I noted tonight that Pope Leo cares deeply about immigrants and global warming. On the other hand he is less progressive that Pope Francis on LGBTQIA+ issues. He did previously tell Vance he was wrong!
CBS: Here's what Pope Leo XIV has posted about politics — and the Trump administration — on social media By Rhona Tarrant, Erielle Delzer, Emma Li
As a cardinal, Prevost shared posts on X about political issues for years, including criticism of the Trump administration's stances on immigration.
In February, the now-pope shared a National Catholic Reporter article that criticized Vice President JD Vance's response to a question on immigration. Vance is Catholic convert who met with Pope Francis last month, just one day before Francis' death.
In an interview, Vance had said Christian teachings advocate for prioritizing love, first for family, then neighbors, community, fellow citizens, and lastly, the world.
Prevost quoted the article's headline: "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others."
“I gotta admit that I kinda miss the quiet old man who steered the economy out of a raging dumpster fire without turning every day into a circus train to hell.”
