@Emma506131772 @Vitus_osst But it shouldn't be about winning or losing. Just add the Byzantine Rite, Maronite, Ethiopian Rites can exist side by side, why can't the TLM be treated as another, VALID, Rite?

@FLwildlifelover @ChrissyGrace000 @SujataITBooks @Pontifex He and previous Popes have spoken out in solidarity with all victims of aggression. Including Ukraine, Haiti, Lebanon, Iran (even those suffering at the hands of their own governments.) The nature of those listening is that, give them everything at once, they shut down.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Dear friends: I don’t know any Catholic in the United States, from the most traditional to the most progressive, who does not have strong feelings about the comments from President Trump and Vice President Vance about Pope Leo XIV. These include not only President Trump’s initial disrespectful Truth Social post about the Holy Father, but also Vice President Vance’s similarly disrespectful comments about Pope Leo having to be “careful” when he speaks about theology.

Let me share some of my own feelings. First of all, it is shocking that a President and Vice President would treat such a good, holy and learned man with such disdain. Imagine telling a man with the Holy Father’s learning and experience (and authority) that he doesn’t understand theology sufficiently. What’s more, imagine attacking him as, ridiculously, “weak on crime” or somehow not understanding foreign policy.

Second, I’m edified by Pope Leo’s charitable and courageous response to all this. Charitable because he has not responded in any way other than with charity and respect. As some of you may know, I know the Holy Father slightly, thanks to our being seated together at the Synod for two weeks, and know him to be a kind, reserved, discerning and highly intelligent person. In a word, holy.

But courageous too: as we have seen during his time in Algeria and Cameroon, Pope Leo has not shied away from continuing to preach the Gospel, and speaking out in favor of peace (and yes, he understands St. Augustine’s concept of the “just war”) and against, as he said today, tyrants and those who would use God’s name to support violence of bloodshed.

So, where will this all end? It’s hard to say. But I would imagine that now that the taboo has been broken, politicians will continue to denigrate him and thus try to persuade people, without saying it explicitly, to think that the Pope’s words do not need to be listened to.

But this will be in vain for two reasons. First, Pope Leo is clearly fearless. A few hours after he was elected as pope, I spoke with a fellow Augustinian priest who had known “Bob” for decades. “He’s a great listener, very kind and much loved.” Then he paused. “But he’s no pushover.” But the main reason that the Pope’s words will be heard is less about Robert Prevost’s own many virtues but something else: the Vicar of Christ will be heard because he is preaching the Gospel. As Jesus told his disciples, “Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away.” So, in these strange times, fear not.

@gilsmelissa90 @Thomasba58 @yoitsshaan @PatriotSassy I doubt fake, just ignorance of her faith. Even Catholics don't pay attention or know what the Church teaches.

@carguellosr @NewsUMissed2026 @PatriotSassy @Trumpsters45 No insinuaría izquierda o derecha. Yo diría que en realidad no está escuchando al Papa León, está escuchando lo que las brocas dicen que dijo o dicen que quiso decir. Nada en lo que ha dicho es política, no necesita votos.

@yoitsshaan @PatriotSassy The Vatican does not do collections but once a year, the money she's withholding supports her local parish, feeding the poor, etc. Not very much like "following Christ".

[🇵🇷🇵🇷 Maestro Boricua🇵🇷🇵🇷 @SirKnightArroyo]

@PatriotSassy -2- when defined Ex Cathedra, which has only been done two times (the second is disputed) and not by any Pope now living. When he speaks on faith and morals, he has moral authority, but not infallible. Popes have spoken out on issues affecting the faithful since Peter.

[🇵🇷🇵🇷 Maestro Boricua🇵🇷🇵🇷 @SirKnightArroyo]

@PatriotSassy I can only imagine what else you have completely wrong about your faith. Catholics are NOT taught that the Pope is infallible, stop listening to Protestant distorted interpretations of Catholicism! There's is a clearly defined definition of Papal Infalliblity. Only when declared

@GeoGerry1 @hinds_mela61795 You've got the nail on the head! The reason for the distrust isn't that anyone who doesn't agree is a communist, anti-American, or terrorist, it's that disagreement is attacked, not a reason for dialog. Your attitude is what's un-American!

@Vouxghyper @PatriotQfsWeb I am Catholic, the first Christian church. However, many Christians do not agree with me nor the Catholic Church. I have a fundamental right, enshrined in our Constitution, to worship as I choose. I do not support a violation of the 1st Amendment Establishment Clause.

@CSavedByGrace18 @anonystani @TaylorRMarshall The misunderstanding is based on the meaning of "pray".
Origin: Derived from the Latin precari, meaning "to ask earnestly, beg, entreat". We can ask anyone, even those who've gone before us. As Christians, we are a Resurrection people. We do not believe death is the end.
