Dear Christopher Nolan, Hollywood is so full of perfect Helens of Troy

That even blind Homer could probably nail the casting

And who would you choose?✨

The way 3 month old baby Elena reacted to the Princess of Wales in Reggio Emilia today says it all 🥺👶🥰

Truly the Children’s Princess!

Sometimes you're the Pope, and sometimes you're just the baby brother. 🥹🥹

Leaving Castel Gandolfo this evening, Pope Leo XIV met with Ignacio, the 15-year old from Spain with cancer that the Pope prayed for at World Youth Day last year. Today, he told the Holy Father that he is cured.

This is so lovely to watch.

A lot of jokes from King Charles tonight.

“You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”

>ISIS vowed to behead him in Mosul
>Flew to Mosul anyway, sat in the exact spot where they said they would kill him
>Called out pornography as "a Language of the Devil"
>Told couples to have more children and fewer pets
>Said "No" when asked about to female clergy
>Hated by the people in the files

Aura. What else did Pope Francis do in his time that is worthy of this list?

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Pope Leo XIV today:

"Debating the President is not my interest at all."

His peace speech that Trump attacked?

It was written two weeks before Trump ever commented on him.

The Pope wasn't responding to Trump.

Trump inserted himself into a message that was never about him.

Then fabricated a quote saying the Pope supports Iranian nukes.

Then his brother received a bomb threat.

The most powerful religious leader on earth is turning the other cheek.

Trump can't stop throwing punches at a man who isn't fighting back.

That tells you everything about both of them.

Never stop connecting the dots.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

I am grateful to Pope Leo for saying this. While the media narrative constantly gins up conflict–and yes, real disagreements have happened and will happen–the reality is often much more complicated.

Pope Leo preaches the gospel, as he should, and that will inevitably mean he offers his opinions on the moral issues of the day. The President–and the entire administration–work to apply those moral principles in a messy world.

He will be in our prayers, and I hope that we'll be in his.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Trump has been attacking the Pope for a week.

The Pope just said debating Trump "is not in my interest at all."

Trump called him weak on crime. Trump fabricated a nuclear quote. Trump posted an AI image of himself as Jesus.

The Pope's response?

He kept preaching. He kept traveling. He kept his peace tour on schedule.

1.4 billion Catholics are watching their leader refuse to flinch.

Trump is losing a fight the Pope isn't even showing up to.

Never stop connecting the dots.

After years of thinly veiled tension, today’s meeting between Giorgia Meloni and Emmanuel Macron in Paris can be described in only one way:

Absolute cinema! 🇮🇹🇫🇷

[Pope Respecter @poperespecter1]

People don't realize how big Catholicism is. Leo's in Africa where there are 288 mil Catholics. That's bigger than the global Eastern Orthodox church and 4 times the size of the US RC Church.

People think hes obsessed with US politics. Believe me he has other things on his mind.

[Amock_ @Amockx2022]

🇮🇹 Giorgia Meloni is the new headache for Trump, this is how she has dismantled him in 48 hours 🗿

🇺🇸 Trump –– "Please support me in war"

🇮🇹 Meloni –– "Not at any cost" 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump : "You should help us otherwise we will remember and give befitting reply"

🇮🇹 Italy : "Doesnt matter, Operations against Iran are outside bilateral agreements. We can't help" 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump –– "The attacks on Lebanon by Israel won't be considered violation of ceasefire"

🇮🇹 Meloni –– "The attack on Lebanon should just stop. Any such acts will go down as intention of escalation & it will be a breach of ceasefire" 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump –– "Pope is not doing his job well"

🇮🇹 Meloni –– "Stop making such unacceptable statements about religious figures" 🔥

🇺🇸 Trump –– "Netanyahu is like my brother"

🇮🇹 Meloni –– "I am suspending defense agreements with Israel" 🔥

And now finally Trump is showing is frustration in interviews by calling Meloni "unacceptable" and that she would pay the price for not supporting him 🤣🤣

Meloni >>> Trump

"The Pope doesn't care about Christian martyrs!"

Here's Pope Leo, holding back tears as he announces the martyrdom of Christians.

Who do any of you insufferable leeches think you are to question his love for Christ's church?

You do not have even a fraction of his virtue.

[Catholic Life @prayandfast2]

In 2033, the Catholic Church will mark its 2,000th anniversary.

[Dr Taylor Marshall™️ @TaylorRMarshall]

Trump doesn't understand Catholics.

This is Trump’s blind spot:

Trump’s financial and political successes are rooted in a personality cult surrounding the TRUMP brand. Even his preferred religious leaders are appointed solely because they are loyal to Trump first.

Trump has failed to understand that Catholics have a greater allegiance to their Pope in Rome. Trump cannot compete with the Pope. Even when a Pope is mid-tier, Catholics will defend their Pope. Pope means “pop” or “dad” and while we may see flaws in our dad, he's still our dad.

Historians will mark Trump’s attack on the Pope as one of the primary events that led to his downfall and the downfall of the Republican Party. The Midterms will be ugly.

2025-2026 was a triumphant year for Catholics with the first American Pope ever and a record-breaking increase in Easter conversions.

Trump chose the absolute worst moment to throw darts at the Pope, publish profanity on Easter Sunday, and post himself as a “red cross doctor with glowing hands.”

Trump cooked himself. He should have celebrated an American Pope and harnessed all the exuberant Catholic energy moving into 2026. But Trump shares the stage with no one. Instead, he attacked the one American who is more powerful and more popular than himself: the American Pope.

Trump was blinded by his own (declining) aura.
