“There is no superior race.”

“There is no chosen people of God.”

“It is neither the United States nor Israel.”

“The chosen people of God is all of humanity.”

In an increasingly “fragmented” world, Pope Leo told the UN World Food Program that hunger persists not because of a lack of resources but because political priorities are misplaced.

Live a life that is so rooted in love that no matter how much power someone has, they are still incapable of convincing you to hate other human beings.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

SO FUCKING CRINGE 🇮🇱🤡

An Israeli diplomat completely lost it on live TV after accusing a journalist in India of wearing a dress resembling the Palestinian flag colours.

The journalist destroyed him.

Journalist Janine di Giovanni:

"If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine,
Europe calls it a war crime."

"But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

"God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” (1 Jn 4:16). This is the heart of the Gospel, the heart of Christ. Whoever immerses themselves in it no longer lives for themselves. I give thanks for the abundant witnesses of faith and charity I have experienced on this #ApostolicJourney to #Spain.

🧐🤔YOU WANTED A WALL, TRUMP? YOU’LL HAVE ONE.
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, responded to Trump’s threats:
“So you voted to build a wall.
Well then, dear Americans — even if geography isn’t your strong suit, and you see America as a country rather than a continent — you should know that on the other side of that wall stand 7 billion people.
And if the word ‘people’ doesn’t resonate with you, let’s call them ‘consumers.’
Those 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhone to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can trade Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti, and within six months replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW — brands that are already more popular in many places.
They can cancel DirecTV.
And even if they choose not to, they can stop watching Hollywood films and turn instead to higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe — with richer storytelling and better filmmaking.
Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and visit the Xcaret resort in Cancún instead — or explore destinations across Mexico, Canada, or South America.
Even in Mexico, you can find better burgers than McDonald’s — with higher nutritional value.
Have you ever seen pyramids in the United States?
Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan have ancient wonders — none of them in the U.S.
If they were, Trump would probably have bought and resold them by now.
We know Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand. There’s Adidas — and even Mexican brands like Panama.
We understand economics better than you think.
And we also know that when those 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy — trapped behind its own self-imposed wall — will begin to collapse to the point where you’ll be begging for help.
We didn’t want to do this.
But you wanted a wall?
Well.
You’ve got one.”
Her approval rating has reached a historic level — according to a recent poll, it stands at 85%.

Una de las «perlas» que nos ha dejado el papa León XIV ha sido esta sencilla, pero profunda, definición del perdón.

Dice que perdonar no significa olvidar el mal padecido ni permitir que siga sucediendo, sino liberarnos del resentimiento y del odio que dominarían nuestra vida. Con dicha enseñanza, el romano pontífice no está negando el carácter gratuito y generoso del perdón, pero lo está afrontando desde una perspectiva realista y sobrenatural, alejado de todo voluntarismo forzado y estéril.

En definitiva, conviene tener esta enseñanza en su debida cuenta, puesto que perdonar al prójimo es condición de posibilidad para que el alma viva en paz y para que también Dios perdone nuestros pecados.

The New Yorker: Iran Can Hold America Hostage in Either War or Peace.
By Robin Wright, June 12, 2026

“Hormuz from now on is not going to go back to the situation of past decades,” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, told me. Hormuz will continue to be “a major element of deterrence of Iranian strategy.” Mousavian balked at the idea that Iran was taking the world hostage. He called it leverage. “Iran has been faced with the madman policies of Israel and the U.S.,” he said. “If you are mad, we are going to be more mad than you. This is what they are doing practically.”

In tiny Albania, over a hundred thousand people have been in the streets against an environmentally disastrous luxury resort planned by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his Qatari billionaire partners.

This is what global oligarchy looks like — and the people are saying NO.

Pope Leo told Spain's Catholic bishops they must listen to survivors of sexual abuse by clergy and offer them reparations, in the first direct reference during his trip to scandals that have shaken the local Church's credibility https://t.co/lrGNsLupCF

[Lila Rose @LilaGraceRose]

This is one of the most impactful speeches delivered by the Pope.

He just received a 7-minute standing ovation for affirming the dignity of human life, from the moment of conception to natural death, in front of the Spanish Parliament

"The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization."

"Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?"

Watch.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The goodness of even a few people can overcome the fear of many. We must be like an open Bible for everyone. May others encounter the Word of God in our faces and lives. Love is the language that makes everyone feel at home. #ApostolicJourney

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The human heart is not filled by accumulating experiences, possibilities, or temporary guarantees; it is filled when it discovers a call, when it understands that life reaches fullness only if it is given. Following Christ does not impoverish existence, but expands it. #ApostolicJourney

This is the view of 1.2 million people from above. This is happening in Madrid, in the famous Plaza de Cibeles and its surroundings, where Pope Leo XIV will preside over the solemn Corpus Christi Mass, followed by a historic procession.
