Not Pope Leo!

A leftist from Chicago is not "closer to God" than anyone else is. A relationship with God is established as soon as you realize that God exists, and a pointy hat doesn't change anything.

I'm a neo-Catholic. The MAGA kind.

Yeah, it's a mess. They have people like me, and people like Pope Leo.

The 2 priests at my church are both MAGA. One is disgusted by Kathy Hochul, the other one has us pray "for Pope Leo to have the strength to say no to influence" (or something like that.) I love those guys.

That's why it's hard to critize the Catholic Church. They have leadership that's certainly globalist and socialist. But they have lower level people who actually do want to help people - not just create a dependant class.

Have any sources on that? Every quote I have heard or can back search on shows him staunchly in the Pro-Life camp.

"Anti-Abortion & Anti-Surrogacy: Pope Leo XVI has hardened his stance on abortion, calling it a threat to peace, and has criticized surrogacy as a "negotiable service" - National Catholic Register.

"Criticism of "Pro-Life" Contradictions: He has publicly argued that those who are against abortion but in favor of the death penalty are not fully living out the "pro-life" label." - CBS News

- This is not a new criticism of those that are pro death penalty and also pro life, and you do get yourself in a bit of a semantics bind when you call abortion "State sponsored murder" on one hand yet volcally rally behind capital punishment with the other.

Consistent Ethic of Life: He argues that "pro-life" must go beyond just the unborn to include support for women and families. - NewsNation

- Fully 1000% support this! Not enough support is given to orphanages aorund the world, or even support for our state/county foster and adoption agencies.
How many of die hard pro-lifers would consider adoption or becomming foster parents. How many of you would explicitly tell your children not to bully someone who is in foster care or have been adopted. Crulest thing I ever heard was someone telling another adopted kid "You were put up for adoption because your parents didn't want you." At a Catholic school! Pope Leo's stance against surrogocy directly ties into this as it directs parents away from adopting.

Very. But most smokers, when confronted by the hard reality of what they are doing, will at least try to stop. But I do know of some who kept right at it, even when they needed a wheel chair and oxygen tank.

I was not born Catholic, I became Catholic later in life. Married my wife at a Catholic Church... anyway...

The Priest at the church was a left wing nut job. He set things on your seat before mas, left wing articles, or whatever, you had to bend down and pick it up before you sat down.

Because I was just baptized I had to be more reserved, that and my wife telling me to relax, I managed no to shout things out like I had Tourette Syndrome.

Fun fact... This same priest could sing, operatic like, he did a season singing as the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera.

He was good, sang an entire Mas one time as well.

Stop putting words into my mouth.

I do NOT care what you think or who you vote for. I am not here to change your mind or vote. Go do what you want, I don't care.

And I don't care if you are gay!!!

And I didn't say that the Pope couldn't have Social Media or use the TV or Radio either.

My thoughts are simple.... The Pope should use those platforms to promote Catholic and Christin values. Maybe he can do some selfies at a parenting organization promoting child birth. Showing how these organizations helping mothers who want to have a child

Maybe the Pope can fly to some desperate country where people are starving and do some selfies there as well... As he's handing out food for the people...

There is a lot he could do with the platforms we have, but he didn't choose that he chose to promote his left wing ideology and talk about open borders and migration, these are some of the posts he deleted and tried to hide.

If he feels that way... Tear down the wall that surrounds the Vatican and let the migrants in there.

He should instead travel to some places where open borders have let in millions of un-vetted migrants where they have raped and killed young women and children.

I am a "Catholic", baptized Catholic, married Catholic, but started going to a non-Catholic church because I think the Pope is too political, this one anyway.

It's not, someone said the EXACT SAME THING TO ME (Pro-Life but Pro Death Penalty), when I was in High School.

My opinions are mine. The Church may feel one thing, but I differ. I may have to answer for that someday... But they are mine.

I side with the government... If they feel you have committed a heinous enough crime and you deserve the death penalty, then that's it.

BTW, I'll change that position. For example, there is a young woman in Iran right now, she has a Green card I think, who is going to, or has already been, killed for opposing the government there... THEY are going to rape her repeatedly before she's executed so that she is violated and can't go to heaven. <--- I think this is wrong... and I don't care what you think or do I get worked up if you don't start thinking my way.

Stupid and mysoginyst thought, but totaly in line with all your other posts.

"Men should stop....." So don't date, and don't get married. Already there.

Great!!!

My thoughts aren't misogynistic... Its more like accountability...

I have talked about this in this echo in the past... I'll recap a bit...

I went to University and I worked 2 jobs while doing so. I worked with the physically handicapped at one place and the mentally handicapped at an other.

There was a woman at the 1st place I mentioned who got pregnant, she was wheelchair ridden as she suffered from Hydrocephalus. I worked with nothing but women at that job and they all were busting that ladies ass about things... I took a different approach... I took the lady, every week, to Lamaze classes so that she could better prepare herself for what she was going threw... She didn't have family to help her.

I took her to the hospital on delivery day, helped her get admitted, found the Hospital Chaplin so that she could talk with him, she went to Church regularly, and I was in the delivery room when she gave birth.

She had a c-section because she couldn't have the child naturally. The doctor doing the procedure found out my background and then invited me to watch him do the procedure, including the close... the suturing up and what not.

She adopted the baby out to a caring couple. That couple sent her pictures of her daughter from time to time to keep her in the loop of her baby's development.

Doesn't sound misogynistic to me...

As I have said here in the past... I once was asked by a friend if I would take her to get an abortion, this was the year I tried to be a liberal. I had nothing to do with her being pregnant, she went to Jamaica for a vacation and brought a souvenir back. This single vent changed me.

I now believe if you want an abortion leave me out of it.

What I mean by the last sentence is this... Don't call me to take you for an abortion OR use my tax money for recreational abortions... Nothing misogynistic here.

My last point on the abortion front... I was at school, the University I went to, and happened to walk by a young woman emotional and crying outside of the Heath Services office... I went up to ask her if she was Okay and she responded that she just found out she was pregnant... Apparently it was her first time doing "IT" and she got pregnant.

Leftoids or Libtards, you choose, would have talked her into killing the baby. I chose not to... I said that she should talk with her parents before doing anything... She did and she kept the baby, her parents kicked in while she finished her degree... She changed Universities to do that.

I know I know... I was a misogynist because I didn't tell her to kill the baby... The baby would be ~25 years old by now.

I am not a perfect man, Catholic or Christian, not even close. But I have been able to look back at life to see where my thinking need some alterations and I made the course corrections I thought I needed.

You, or anyone else for that matter, need not to think like me. My life experiences shaped my life. I'll be answerable to God for what I have done... Maybe I should be more fanatical on abortion and the death penalty...

I am right politically, you don't have to be. I believe in consequences to your behavior... so if you have sex and get pregnant its on you. I believe if you want an abortion, have one, but at least in the early stages. I also believe the death penalty fits certain crimes... you don't have to think my way... and there may be some hypocrisy in your eyes.

But I say... don't judge me until you've made your own life as perfect as you think I should be.

You sir, have no business commenting on the Catholic faith.
Especially since the only reason you seem to be criticizing the Catholic Church is because he is critical of President Trump, which means you are putting an idiology (MAGA), and a person (Trump) before Jesus and the church.

I wished the Democrats had policies we could debate instead of "Orange Man Bad" so that we can discus something other that.

BTW, I am curious as to what exactly it is in Trump's America 1st policies that you don't like??

I'm not sure what goes on during the selection process... Are they selecting the Pope based on biblical reasons or political?? who knows.

The reason the US is as successful as it is is because of the hard work the generations did before.

Hard times create Strong men. Strong men create Good times... Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times ... and repeat for a million years.

If the Pope wants to fund projects that need funding he should take Michael's advice and just be a Pope... Spread the good news and save
some soles and a few babies along the way.

Yea, and I can forgive him for the things he's already said. He still ain't as bad as Pope Francis.

AFAIK they have an election where only 113 cardinals vote. But the thing is: they are just men, and they are no closer to God than anyone else. And what are their political leanings? IMO: 113 votes are easier to buy than 270 electoral votes. And buying a pope buys influence of the entire world.

Nothing beat Pope John Paul II!! I just wonder what they talk about amongst themselves as they select the guy. I recall someone swaying that they chose Pope Francis because he was a little older, they didn't want him to last as long as Pope John Paul.

Some of the things we are going through might just be growing pains as he gets settled in.

We had a Spanish speaking church we use to go to here... They had Sunday School for Amanda. During Mas I'd be saying... I know that word... and that one too.

There is one that we went to after that because its attached to her Schools.

Anyway, I don't think the Pope thought Trump would respond... Its funny

Pope John Paul II was against communism (based on what I've read) and now Pope Leo is aligning with it to some extent.

Great... I just heard that the passed the funding they needed for ICE and whatnot by reconciliation... And I heard how they could use this for the Save America Act.

For reconciliation to occur it has to be attached to funding. You can't use reconciliation for policy issues... SO... the work around might go like this.

If you don't ask voters for proof they are citizens to register to vote and ask them to prove who they are before they vote you will loose X amount of dollars because of doing so. And hence the funding!!! GBG

Pope John Paul was/is a hard guy to replace. I think Pope Francis was a Hitler Youth during Hitler's BS.

Anyway, maybe our new Pope will fix things and he'll be normal and history will see him as OK.

I do NOT care what you think or who you vote for. I am not here to change your mind or vote. Go do what you want, I don't care.

Then why the hell is that the main point behind the article you linked to, to support whatever argument you were trying to make?

As far is what I don't like about Trump's "America First" agenda?

If you haven't been paying attention thus far, I am not going to repeat myself. It isn't like you far right cultists actualy care to listen to what anyone else say. Since anything contradicting your narrow world view from the pulpit of The Narcacist in Cheif is just "lefty" fake news.

Most people could give you a detailed list of the America First Policies, a hint, its in the name.

But when you ask a Democrat about their policies you get shrugged off and then they say... Orange Man Bad...

Meanwhile in America a young mother brutally beaten and the Joe Biden migrant beats and bites a young infant. Bystanders fought the migrant until the police came.

Baby suffers from PTSD now and is missing teeth and has facial injuries from the migrant biting him.

AND a young woman, and her new boyfriend, attacked with a machete from a Joe Biden migrant.

Trump is just trying to fix what Barry and Joe broke.

It was a serious question... What is your favorite Democrat policy??

Hello, McFly... Someone tried to kill him again. I think this failed act got his midterm House and Senate Republican majority.

I was watching the news today and Trey Gowdy was talking, you recall trey was once a House member and a successful prosecutor... He thought that Barry might fall under the presidential immunity as described by the Supreme Court.

Piss me off... well kinda...

I want justice and accountability... But I will take everything being fully exposed and changes made.

And to be honest I don't think Barry stopped working in the conspiracy and he was doing his dirty work during Joe's term and as a result he can't ask for immunity.

So, Barry gets exposed, Mike divorces him, his Presidential Library fails... He's shamed soooooooooooo bad that he moves back to whatever country in Africa he's from...

And that's about it I guess

So I'm torn here. We need Presidential Immunity. And we have a process to prosecute a sitting member of the gov't - a process that is cumbersome for good reasons - we don't want to hamstring someone when they need to perform their duty.

On the other hand, I think we need to tighten it up a bit. The Left is good at pushing the boundaries and corrupting good ideas so that they can do evil.

I want justice and accountability... But I will take everything being fully exposed and changes made.

I think our frustration is that EVERYTHING is (pretty much) fully exposed. But prosecutions are slow in coming.

And to be honest I don't think Barry stopped working in the conspiracy
and he was doing his dirty work during Joe's term and as a result he
can't ask for immunity.

Presidential Immunity stops when he's no longer President.

Which is why the Left is pushing hard right now. Their crimes and schemes are getting exposed.

So, Barry gets exposed, Mike divorces him, his Presidential Library fails... He's shamed soooooooooooo bad that he moves back to whatever country in Africa he's from...

And another lower level operative is taken out while the puppet masters are still safe. That's part of the problem.

Osama isn't the puppet master. He's just another puppet who doesn't realize he still has strings.

I respect Trey. When he was a prosecutor he never lost a case, he's one of the best. Maybe he said what he said because he didn't want to blow sh!t up, who knows.

The problem with the interview the reported never asked a follow up question to let him opine on his response.

Lets just say for a moment that Trey is right and Barry can't be charged for the spearheading of this conspiracy, I redacted a lot, but lets just say its true...

Welp, if Barry was still working his magic behind the scenes during Joe Biden's term and during the Kamala's run... anything that pointed back to the original start he could be charged. I would argue that.

Today James Comey was indicted for that 8647 stuff and one of Fauci advisors was indicted as well.

https://youtu.be/Hjz2BzaDqm0?si=s2ERLZII7o8IHw4t

I know that you don't like the links... but this is the best...

Barry's library is to open this summer and it will be opening with all this legal stuff going on, with most of his cabinet getting indicted and the truth finally getting out. It maybe a sad day for him.

I believe Barry will see justice at some point.

I think our frustration is that EVERYTHING is (pretty much) fully
exposed. But prosecutions are slow in coming.

Were SLOW AF. I think we are not part of the planning. Things are coming out and they will be during the midterm primaries.

Supreme Court upheld Texas. Florida meeting today that may add 4 or 5 more seats. Alabama said if the Supreme Court says you can't redistrict based on race, the governor said he's going to fix his state and that may add 3 or 4 seats.

and the biggest killer for the Democrats is simple, they have no policies to run on... Orange Man Bad only goes so far.

Presidential Immunity stops when he's no longer President.

I covered that in my thinking. Grab a beer and relax.

And another lower level operative is taken out while the puppet masters are still safe. That's part of the problem.

Osama isn't the puppet master. He's just another puppet who doesn't realize he still has strings.
