BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV enrages MAGA world by releasing his first major document urging every Catholic in the world to help migrants who all have "Christ himself" inside them — a powerful rebuke of Donald Trump's hateful policies.

This just went off like a bombshell for 1.4 billion Catholics...

The historic document entitled “I Have Loved You” states that caring for the poor also means "fighting against the structural causes of poverty," an unthinkable idea to American Evangelicals who fetishize wealth and billionaire tax cuts.

"No Christian can regard the poor simply as a societal problem," wrote Leo, adding that they are “part of our ‘family’" and they are "one of us." At a time when conservatives are gutting social programs and slashing Medicaid funding, this message is particularly potent.

But it's the section on migrants that has Republicans really up in arms...

"The Church, like a mother, accompanies those who are walking. She knows that in every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself who knocks at the door of the community," Leo wrote.

Recently, the pope urged U.S. Bishops to speak out "strongly" to support migrants against Trump's escalating immigration crackdowns.

In the new document, he writes that the "experience of migration" is woven into the history of the Church, pointing to Abraham setting out "without knowing where he is going," Moses leading his people out of slavery into the desert, and Mary and Joseph fleeing with an infant Jesus into Egypt.

Quoting his predecessor Pope Francis, Leo wrote that Christians must use four verbs for migrants: "welcome, protect, promote and integrate." Francis began the 104-page document but died before it was finished so Leo took up the task of finishing it, explaining: "I am happy to make this document my own — adding some reflections.”

"The Church, like a mother, accompanies those  who are walking," wrote Leo. "Where the world sees threats, she sees children; where walls are built, she builds  bridges. She knows that her proclamation of the Gospel is credible only when it is translated into  gestures of closeness and welcome. And she knows that in every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself  who knocks at the door of the community."

The bit about walls is a clear reference to Trump's infamous border wall and a clear rejection of the animating xenophobia at the rotten core of the MAGA movement. Real Christians should welcome and care for migrants. MAGA Christians want them pepper-sprayed, zip-tied, and terrorized by ICE agents.

The document also tackles the growing corrosive power of billionaires like Elon Must who are using their money to place themselves above the law. It criticizes an economic system in which "earnings of a minority are growing exponentially, so too is the gap separating the majority from the prosperity enjoyed by those happy few."

"A new tyranny is being born, invisible and often virtual, which unilaterally and relentlessly imposes its own laws and rules," wrote Leo.

"There is no shortage of theories attempting to justify the present state of affairs or to explain that economic thinking requires us to wait for invisible market forces to resolve everything," the pope wrote.

"The poor are promised only a few 'drops' that trickle down, until the next global crisis brings things back to where they were," he added.

"Either we regain our moral and spiritual dignity or we fall into a cesspool," the pope wrote in one particularly striking passage.

This document is a battle cry for Christian love and perfectly articulates the true message of Jesus Christ. The fact that Republicans are already raging against it exposes the truth behind their Christian facade. They want the self-righteousness granted to them by their religion without embracing the sacrifice and compassion that it truly demands.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Pope Leo for taking such a moral stance!
