11. Good for Pope Leo!
Wed Oct 8, 2025, 04:27 PM

I've been mystified why other religious leaders, those of good faith and good will, have not come out publicly to condemn the Administration's purposeful cruelty and hate-mongering. The ultra-conservative Catholic Bishops may have their hackles raised by any number of liberal stances but the ongoing abuse of human rights is disgusting and anti-Christian. The conservatives didn't like Pope Francis. I suspect they'll have problems with Pope Leo as well.

As for myself, a lapsed Catholic of many decades, I cheer this out reach and Pope Leo's direct messaging to his Bishops. I'd really like to see and hear other denominations and faiths speaking out as well.
