“As of today?”

Sean Hannity left the Catholic Church in 2019.

So phony and performative

Quite a poignant moment, Pope Leo has arrived at the Sanctuary of Mama Muxima; in the 1600’s, African slaves were brought there to be baptized before being shipped off to the Americas. The Pope will lead the Rosary and give an address at the Shrine.

Iran is broadcasting this VHF message: "Attention all ships, ​regarding the failure ⁠of the U.S. government to fulfil its commitment in the negotiation, Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely ​closed again.

Kash Patel advisor Erica Knight says a “lawsuit is being filed” over The Atlantic’s article alleging that the FBI director’s drinking has been “a recurring source of concern across the government.”

Patel retweeted the post.

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

Pope Leo XIV's visit to an African church linked to slavery reflects on his own complex heritage The pope’s planned visit to a Catholic chapel in Angola that was connected to the slave trade is seen as a symbolic moment by some Africans.

"It's an extraordinary statement."

Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, who was among the conclave that elected Pope Leo, rejects Donald Trump's claim the American pontiff was chosen as "the best way to deal" with the US president.

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo:
“weak on crime”
“terrible for foreign policy”
“catering to the Radical Left”
“owes his position to me”
“sit down and mind your own business”

POPE LEO, unbothered:
“We are called to love.”

At this rate, Trump is going to demand the Justice Department open a criminal investigation of the pope....Hello?

Kudos to Pope Leo for his moral clarity — and for not backing down. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/leo

Trump is their Pope, and Trumpism is their religion.

Cardinal Francis George said once "I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Trump TS post featuring an illustration of himself as a Christian faith healer

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

Donald Trump as Jesus healing a sick man in bed. Behind him is the American flag. Surrounded by him are soldiers and nurses.

Trump just posted this of him as Jesus. Straight up heresy.

A attack on the Pope is a attack on ALL Catholics and we are one with Peter...

Breaking:

Rep. Eric Swalwell says he's suspending his campaign for governor.

"To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that's my fight, not a campaign's."

Pope Leo: “This is un acceptable. There are certainly questions of international law but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people. Attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also a sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
