Aboard a flight to Angola, Pope Leo XIV noted that “a certain narrative…has not been accurate,” during his trip to Africa. He referred to the coverage of President Trump's comments about him, adding that his words at the Peace Meeting in Cameron were “prepared two weeks ago.” He emphasized the Church’s focus remains “proclaiming the Gospel…to promote justice…[and] peace in our world.”

Pope Leo XIV, Donald Trump and JD Vance. Fear not!

This one is so much more accurate than the original.

Trump is now attacking the Pope for speaking out against war while posting images of himself as a messianic figure.

This is not only offensive. It is deranged, egomaniacal behavior.

When will Republicans in Congress stop blindly following this dangerous and unhinged man?

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

President Trump has, oddly, accused Pope Leo XIV of being "weak on crime," as if the Vicar of Christ were a mayor or a governor. Here's someone else who would probably be criticized for being too lenient with criminals, even promising one a place a heaven:

One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

(Luke 23)

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: "Even the holy Name of God, the God of life, is being dragged into discourses of death. A world of brothers and sisters with one heavenly Father vanishes, as in a nightmare, giving way to a reality populated by enemies. We are met by threats, rather than the invitation to listen and to come together. Brothers and sisters, those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (cf. Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee."

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV at the Stations of the Cross: "Every person in authority will have to answer to God for the way they exercise their power." Jesus says. "Whatever you do to another human being, especially to the small and vulnerable, you do unto me. And it is to me that you will one day give an account."

@JamesMartinSJ please pray for me.

What would Christ have done if, after commanding the family and friends surrounding Lazarus after he’d raised him from the dead to “unbind him and set him free”, they’d recoiled in horror and walked away?

He’d have unbound him Himself.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

God help us. This is disgraceful language coming from a Christian, or anyone with a soul. It was just as wrong to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk as it is to celebrate that of Robert Mueller. May they rest in peace. And may we never forget that Jesus's message is about mercy.

We support the statement by Southall Black Sisters.
We also will no longer be using X (formerly Twitter) because of the platform’s refusal to effectively address the generation and circulation of non-consensual sexualized images of women and children.
