BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV throws MAGA world into a Sunday rage by urging every Catholic in the world to help and care for immigrants just days after slamming Donald Trump's cruel policies.

This pope REALLY doesn't care about ruffling right-wing feathers...

Leo called on Catholics to "open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope."

The remarks were delivered to a crowd of thousands who were inside St. Peter's Square at the Vatican for Sunday Mass. It was part of event organized for migrants which attracted some 10,000 pilgrims from 95 countries. The Church’s message on immigration is clearly resounding around the world.

The pope stated that migrants cannot be treated with "the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination."

Leo went on to call for "a new missionary age" in which the church will offer "hospitality and welcome, compassion and solidarity" to all of those migrants who are fleeing from violence or searching for a safe new home for themselves or the families.

"In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world's South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church," he said.

While he didn’t mention the United States or Donald Trump specifically, taken in the context of his past remarks it’s clear who and what he was pushing back against today. Last week, he enraged MAGA supporters by espousing the true teachings of Jesus Christ.

“Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life,” the pope told reporters. “Someone who says that, ‘I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life."

Republicans have quickly come to despise Pope Leo because he dispels the lie that they tell themselves: They are not “Christian” in any meaningful sense of the word. They have draped themselves in Christian aesthetics and signifiers while adopting a cruel, fascist worldview that is antithetical to the love, compassion, and selflessness taught by Christ. Pope Leo sees right through them.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you love this pope!

WHY IS RACCOON EYES SMILING? BECAUSE WHILE PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD FOOD, HE'S BUILDING A GOLD BALLROOM. WHILE HIS MILITIA ATTACKS AMERICA, HE'S HOME WATCHING IKEA PORN WITH VANCE. BUT CHUNKY CHEETO HAS MET HIS MATCH. HE CAN BREAK AN ESCALATOR BUT HE'LL NEVER BREAK THE GAVINATOR.

@indygirl_ashley @CarlHigbie He’s not saying you should learn Spanish, he’s saying that making sure you understand is not his problem. He took the time to learn English so he could understand English, not so he could stop speaking Spanish for the sake of the ignorant.

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING — AND I AGREE — THAT I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR) DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE “MOST INCREDIBLE MAPS IN THE HISTORY OF MAPPING” (EVEN COLUMBUS). THESE MAPS WILL END THE “VERY RIGGED” ELECTIONS, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA!!!), RETAKE CONGRESS “FOR THE PEOPLE”, AND SAVE DEMOCRACY. NOBODY ELSE COULD HAVE DONE THIS — CERTAINLY NOT THE “SELF-PROCLAIMED” MASTER DEALMAKER DONALD “TACO” TRUMP (TINY HANDS) WHO MISSED “THE DEADLINE” AND LOST (SAD!). PEACE THROUGH MAPS — NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE. I AM THE “PEACE TIME” GOVERNOR NOW, STOPPING “POLITICAL WARS” BEFORE THEY START. HARMONY, UNITY, EVEN LOVE. THE NOBEL COMMITTEE HAS GIVEN THIS AWARD TO LESSER PEOPLE FOR MUCH LESS. I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, ACTUALLY EARNED IT. THE WORLD WILL BE SAFER, KINDER, AND FRANKLY MORE “BEAUTIFUL” BECAUSE OF MY MAPS. GIVE GAVIN THE NOBEL, MANY ARE SAYING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN

I want to thank the overflow crowds who came out in Iowa City to stand up to Trumpism.

Together we must say NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism, NO to massive cuts in Medicaid and NO to huge tax breaks for billionaires.

@midwestern_ope Two days ago I was saying goodbye at my door, and one of us mentioned that it was turning into a “Midwest goodbye”, which led to another half hour of Midwest goodbye-ing on the topic of Midwest goodbyes.

@adhdjesse In spite of what your English teacher in high school told you, you actually don’t need to do an outline before writing something. It won’t necessarily make your writing better, and it may actually make it worse.

@RandyFeenstra Even Trump cannot deny that she’s good at her job. He literally donated thousands of dollars to her campaign for AG.

@mollyknefel He’d love a Maid Rite.

[Barbara Fisher @BeeCrockfish]

@CarriePoppyYES I’m pretty sure it means “Imma stop you right there.” It’s an uncomfortable conversation escape hatch that tells people to get over it in a way that sounds helpful.

[Barbara Fisher @BeeCrockfish]

@RandyFeenstra Yes Randy, clearly the prosecutor is the one who doesn’t support the police and the LITERAL FELON is the law and order candidate.

@isabelunraveled I have ADHD and studied this sort of thing in grad school. A really helpful thing is effective goal setting. Goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Based (SMART.) And don’t let perfect be the enemy of done!

[Barbara Fisher @BeeCrockfish]

@RandyFeenstra Oh, but we should.

@kemsdreaming 5/10 because it’s many fruits mixed together, which is gross. Also the juice from the fruit is clearly running onto other stuff, and slushees are too cold and chunky.

@JoshMankiewicz I’m no Dr. Phil fan, but honestly I think flattering someone like Trump might be the best way to get them to listen.

[Barbara Fisher @BeeCrockfish]

@CarriePoppyYES I got 27, which I think is probably due to the fact that I have been diagnosed with both ADHD and OCD, which have a kind-of-similar brain fingerprint to autism.

[Barbara Fisher @BeeCrockfish]

@LukeDashjr @BadMedicalTakes You’re right, if a woman starts having babies at age 16 and simply gets pregnant the first time she ovulates 25 times in a row, she may only wind up only having her period for 4-6 years. It’s just that most women don’t do that, because that would be insane.

[Barbara Fisher @BeeCrockfish]

@CarriePoppyYES According to the paper “Moralistic gods, supernatural punishment and the expansion of human sociality” by Purzycki et. al., the emergence of the vengeful, punitive god might have paradoxically served the opposite function.

[Barbara Fisher @BeeCrockfish]

@CarriePoppyYES Thank you!
