This pope almost makes me regret leaving the Catholic religion. Almost.

Me too. Pope Leo’s one of the good ones.

Yay Pope Leo for social media for posting his excellent messages. I'm surprised Musk didn't kick him off X for criticizing DJT's stupidity - yet.

Choices based on morality and ethics has never been the hallmark of MAGA world. In their pathetic cosmos, the only precious life is their own, the only cause is the next fight, the only voice they want to hear on their path to a dead end is spewed forth with ignorance and hate.

Oh, no, they also love unborn babies. Not *after* they're born, of course, but still . . .

Amen Peace NOT War! I think it's pretty bad when people start denying the leader of their church. Pope Leo is taking his job seriously and yet there are some in this country that must not take their religion as seriously as they should.

🙏🏾🙌🏽🫶🏽😇👏🏽 Blessed Leo! Who would have thought the Catholic church would emanate the voice of reason, rather than blind faith?

You got it: Amen. The Pope really writes/speaks so well and to the point. He absolutely doesn't "pontificate" he speaks human to human. I'm not attached to any religion, but Pope Leo's voice in the world is loud and clear.

PS: fancy threatening the Vatican! Laughable. The language of a TV gang boss, not a successful one at that.

Flipping you and the Pope an AMEN! ALLELUIA for good measure!

I am proud to have an American pope who speaks truth to power. Those Catholics who renounce their faith due to the pope’s condemnation of the war and of Trump will certainly not be missed.

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

But Trump loves himself, and nobody else. Ever. He may enjoy them as part of his scenery, for a while. But "love"? Never! Hate is much more fun because you then get to bash 'em down, hear them scream with fear and pain, ideally even kill them.

Destruction is so much easier than creation. Make an ungodly mess and have a good snigger at your power.

Our Substack God, please bless yourself for giving us somewhere to soak in your goodness and the good messages you bring. Amen, Awomen, ah all creatures great and small.

“Hegseth Christians” preach Peace through Strength, thus they consider themselves the peacemakers. Warped as F, but now even MAGA Catholics want to reject the pope because he calls for peace? Ahhh, the ignorant cult knows no bounds of loyalty. 🤬 them straight to Hell…. Amen 🙏

Good for Pope Leo!

Despite everything that pond slime has done, I find it very hard to believe that he threatened the Vatican. I never heard what exactly he said. Anyone?
