When the Pope feels the need to speak very candidly about the president of the United States, we are dealing with some very serious issues for sure. He doesn't mince words about Donald and his psychotic actions. Pope Leo XIV will be someone I will watch and listen to.

Because it’s a dream come true for a pope and American of this caliber to be chosen. I’ll think Pope Francis pulled some silver strings. It’s amazing. I never thought they’d elect an Ami for all the awful things the US has done recently. God has surprises. Even alchemy…keep working. Just called my reps. Next I write them to incentivize them to speak up.
While Pope Leo is on the right, just, and moral side of many critical human rights issues, his stance on abortion and reproductive justice is deeply problematic, contrary to proven life saving measures, and harms the safety of women and children. Pope Leo has repeatedly called to defunded critical and life saving reproductive healthcare.
You have some good excellent thoughts I would like to read but I find your use of nasty words to be a complete turn off. Fuck, shit and shitty, bum fucker. You are an articulate person. Make better choices. Then I will subscribe.
Tina, I'd love for you to subscribe, obviously. But let me repeat what I said to Jon below: My whole point is to quote Shakespeare one second curse the next, if that's what makes sense at that moment. I want it to be authentic, which for me is sometimes saying "fuck" like we know everyone does in private, and others going into Rousseau bc I happen to know theory. I usually only curse 1-2x in any of these. It shocks me ppl get so offended. I mean, do they not watch movies? Comedians? Streaming? Rock music? How do they find content w/out cursing? I'm honestly asking, not upset at all about it. When I curse, it's not forced, it's bc I honestly am generally outraged enough it's what comes to mind. Don't we all say we want authenticity today? Not fake politician/new guy/gal caked in makeup?
I wanted to share this post with everyone I know... but only about 20% of them would tolerate the foul language. I did share it with the 40% of my friends who, with my foul language warning, I felt would listen, even if offended.
I've heard it said people who use expeletives, do so as a substitute for content. Please focus on content and filter out gratuitous noise.

I’d say it is a continuation of the Church’s long commitment to live the teachings of Christ, full stop. Social justice is not something new here, extending back to John Paul.
What has changed is how the conservative movement has yoked faith to the plow that prepares the soil where their evil ideas are planted.
Leo XIV is an Augustinian, not a Jesuit.
And an Augustinian missionary, at that. No comfy life in a gated community for him. (I'm being snarky. Good column.)
I guess every Catholic was going to post this correction, thanks.
I’ve heard both—is anybody out there an authority on this?
I am so very ready for any positive news of late ❤️🔥

I used to live on the street called La Mancha Ct.! Say five Hail Mary's and five Our Fathers!
I love the new Pope!!!!!!
Couldn't agree more. Love "False prophets of Mar a Lago.:
Reproductive Rights

You got it said with two words. “Reproductive rights.” Yep.
You have some good excellent thoughts I would like to read but I find your use of nasty words to be a complete turn off. Fuck, shit and shitty, bum fucker. You are an articulate person. Make better choices. Then I will subscribe.
The good news is these words make me read and share more readily. Not everyone is offended by words that only have meaning if you assign it.

Other than that... you're AWESOME!
Studied show that people who curse are objectively more intelligent. Google it.

He’s an Augustinian, not a Jesuit.

Well said but Pope Leo is an Augustinian missionary who follows a Jesuit. You are forgiven as correction on all other points made.
