This is an absolute bullshit take on all accounts.

@MikeFPrater @BroncoSportsMBB He performed really well for his dad as a player! I think he’ll do the same as a coach.

Idaho now is known for producing potatoes and first round tight ends. The first tight ends to go in the past two drafts - Kenyon Saddiq this year, Colston Loveland last year - both are from Idaho.

“Please be careful not to use political categories to speak about faith, to speak about the Church. The Church doesn’t belong to any political party; rather, she helps form your conscience.”

Based Pope Leo! 😎

[Knights of Columbus @KofC]

Statement From Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly:

In recent days, many Catholics and other people of goodwill have been deeply disappointed by the disparaging comments directed at Pope Leo XIV by the President of the United States. The Successor of Saint Peter is not a politician — he is the Vicar of Christ, entrusted with proclaiming the Gospel and shepherding souls.

The Knights of Columbus has always stood in solidarity with the Holy Father, recognizing in him a spiritual father who calls the world not to division, but to unity, not to conflict, but to peace. In this moment, we reaffirm that commitment with clarity and conviction.

At the same time, we recognize that faithful Catholics can and do engage vigorously in the public square, and that nations have a right and duty to safeguard the security of their own people — always in accordance with the demands of justice and the pursuit of peace. The Church does not ask Catholics to withdraw from civic life, but to engage with and elevate it — bringing to our civic dialogue the light of truth, respect for the dignity of every human person, and a steadfast concern for the common good.

Pope Leo XIV has consistently called for peace, dialogue, and restraint in a world marked by war and suffering. The Holy Father’s words are not political talking points — they are reflections of the Gospel itself. Whether one agrees or disagrees with particular policy judgments, the Holy Father’s prophetic voice deserves to be heard with respect and engaged seriously.

As Knights, we are called to be men of unity, as followers of Christ and patriotic citizens. I encourage all Knights of Columbus to pray for the Holy Father, to pray for civic leaders, and to pray for peace and those working to achieve it. And let us recommit ourselves to charity in our public discourse. May we be known not for echoing the divisions of our time, but for healing them. In a moment of tension, the path forward is not louder conflict, but deeper fidelity — to truth, to charity, and to the Gospel.

A statement from University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., in support of Pope Leo XIV:

[Senator Shehu Sani @ShehuSani]

The Man of Courage who stood up against War and genocide,and deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. @NobelPrize

[Fr. Dwight Longenecker @dlongenecker1]

Pope speaks out against war and in favor of helping the poor and Christian American right wingers throw stones. I'm standing with the Pope.

[Carolina ❤️‍🔥 @realCarola2Hope]

Pope Leo XIV is not ‘woke’, nor a Marxist, nor a progressive, nor a leftist.

The Pope is simply a Christian.

When he defends the poor and the innocent, he is following the Gospel.

When he denounces injustice, he is imitating Christ.

When he speaks for the poor, he is repeating word for word the Sermon on the Mount.

Those who are angry at him are not fighting with Pope Leo XIV.

They are fighting with Christ.

Because it was Jesus who said: ‘Whatever you did for the least of my brothers, you did for me.’

Rejecting the Pope for being merciful is not something a Christian does.

The problem is not that Leo XIV has strayed from Christ.

The problem is that some have strayed so far from the Gospel that they no longer recognize it when they see it.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction —

“This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.”

He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.”

“attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”
