So Pope Leo XIV is the former Cardinal who publicly rebuked JD Vance & Trump a couple weeks ago!

Oh, what a smile that brings me...

New Pope Leo XIV Bashed Trump and JD Vance on Twitter Just Weeks Ago
The very online new pope has made his feelings about MAGA’s top two figures clear.

Pope Leo XIV called out Vice President J.D. Vance in a social media post just weeks ago bluntly calling him “wrong”—and bashed Donald Trump in a retweet less than a month ago.

Posting on his X profile as Cardinal Robert Prevost, he criticized Vance for an interview he gave about Christianity on Fox News.

“JD Vance is wrong,” he said. “Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.”

The new pope, 69, posted the rebuke on X, together with a link to an article from the National Catholic Reporter reporting on the fallout from Vance’s remarks.

Let's not forget: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

In other words treat everyone else the way you would want them to treat you. That doesn't let criminals off the hook, you understand - because if I robbed a store and shot someone, I would full expect to be held accountable for that act and imprisoned.

But by the same token, if I have paid into Social Security and Medicare paycheck by paycheck for 40 years, then I would expect those in charge of it to give it to me when I need it. That doesn't seem to be what is happening.
