On Speaking TRUTH to Power: Trump's fans rage at Pope Leo's 'woke manifesto' [View all]
Apparently the far-right so-called "christians" are having a sht-fit. Good.
'Straight challenge to MAGA': Trump's fans rage at Pope Leo's 'woke manifesto' - RAWSTORY
Pope Leo XIV issued another document that seemingly puts him in direct odds against... Trump's MAGA movement.
The first American-born pontiff has angered U.S. conservatives with recent statements and comments supporting immigrants and climate action, and he has sharply criticized market capitalism, warlike rhetoric, anti-abortion activism and, in a new document, wealth inequality.
“God has a special place in his heart for those who are discriminated against and oppressed, and he asks us, his church, to make a decisive and radical choice in favor of the weakest,” Leo wrote. "Thus, in a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people."
The pope infuriated conservatives with his response to a question about the archdiocese of his hometown of Chicago, which rescinded a lifetime achievement award to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) for his work on immigration due to controversy on his support for abortion rights, and Leo said people cannot call themselves “pro-life” if they stand against abortion but endorse “inhuman treatment” of migrants or support the death penalty..
