Is Leo the Anti-Trump? [View all]

I can't help but read the Vatican message and selection of Pope Leo as a direct counterforce to the age of Trump. Why pick an American now except that America is under assault from profoundly deranged, immoral actors operating under cover of an American government? I hope Leo is brave enough to speak out and denounce the official cruelty of the Trump era. I'm no fan of the Catholic church, but I can recognize the potential of an individual spiritual leader to bulk up a battered America right now, when our own "leader" is the source of endless harm.
