Alt-text: A collage of tweets either posted or reposted by Robert Prevost, who is now Pope Leo XIV. 1. At the top left, a tweet from Robert Prevost (@drprevost) dated May 30, 2020, reads: “Thank you! We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice.” The tweet includes a now-deleted post from another account. 2. Just below it, a tweet from Cardinal Cupich (@CardinalBCupich) dated June 20, 2018, is shown with a yellow highlight noting “Robert Prevost reposted.” The tweet reads: “There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents and warehouses them in cages. This is being carried out in our name and the shame is on us all.” 3. To the right, a tweet by Senator Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) dated October 2, 2017, also highlighted as having been reposted by Robert Prevost, reads: “To my colleagues: your cowardice to act cannot be whitewashed by thoughts and prayers. None of this ends unless we do something to stop it.” 4. Below that, another repost by Robert Prevost of a tweet from James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) dated January 27, 2017, reads: “We’re banning all Syrian refugees? The men, women and children who most need help? What an immoral nation we are becoming. Jesus weeps.” The tweet is accompanied by a well-known image of a young Syrian boy, bloodied and covered in dust, sitting silently in an orange medical chair inside an ambulance.
