• Pope Leo

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Saturday, May 10, 2025 23:24:12
    I'm a Christian, and I go to a Catholic Church, but I'm not a fan of Papal leadership or of any church leadership that goes beyond the father(s) at the churches.

    I didn't like the propagandist messaging that came from Pope Francis pertaining to the USA's reluctance to accept migrants, and I didn't like how Catholic Charities (during his reign) funded attorneys who advocated for illegal immigration into the USA.

    Now I strongly suspect that this new pope was chosen (not elected but chosen) by the world elite because 1) who does the world elite despise more than anybody? (Trump) 2) what kind of pope do they want? (One who will oppose Trump) 3) Where is this new pope from and what's his background? (Trump-hating leftist from Chicago.)

    Well, duh. There is "election" of the Pope and never has.

    But remember that the Catholic Church **was** (and potentially, still is) part of the Elitists who want to rule over all of us.

    The Church just does it more "softly".

    because 1) who does the world elite despise
    more than anybody? (Trump) 2) what kind of pope do they want? (One who will oppose Trump) 3) Where is this new pope from and what's his background? (Trump-hating leftist from Chicago.)

    I actually stopped caring what the Pope says/does/etc. a long time ago and I see no reason today to change that.

    I care about what he says because he has influence over sheeple. And I hope he keeps his mouth closed about American politics.

    But that's not general knowledge (yet).

    And by "soft" I mean that they "encourage" that we give up all our thinking to the church "elders" and treat dissadents like wayward children. As opposed to the Elitists of today who want to pass laws to take all our rights away.

    I care about what he says because he has influence over sheeple. And I hope he keeps his mouth closed about American politics.

    He won't. He's another Woke Pope and yet another reason that religion is not necessairly the opposite of rule by the Elitists.

    The weirdest thing happened yesterday, just as we're in the midst of this conversation:

    Yesterday's mass at my church was focus on sheephood. The father said we are sheep and God is our shepherd. Then he said that children are sheep and parents are their shepherds. Then he said Catholics are sheep and the church leaders are our shepherds. But then he said "the pope is our shepherd and we are his sheep." (That last part didn't sit well.)

    Are you catholic? I hope you do not participate in The Eucharist with that wishy-washy description of your faith


    I didn't like the propagandist messaging that came from Pope Francis pertaining to the USA's reluctance to accept migrants, and I didn't like how Catholic Charities (during his reign) funded attorneys who advocated for illegal immigration into the USA.

    Once again, I sincerely hope you're not taking communion. When speaking on matters of faith and ethics, the pope is infallible, being the direct successor of St. Peter.

    Chosen is correct. Pope Leo XIV was chosen by God, through the prayers of the faithful and the ballots cast by the sacred college of cardinals.

    Perhaps you should find a different Church to attend if you are not Catholic, as such blasphemy could surely lead to your excommunication, otherwise.


    Or, maybe this entire religion thing is just a pile of crap made up to control the people.

    None of it sat well with me since it all smacks of ownership and slavehood.

    They want to try to say "we are keeping you safe", but the reality is that "we are keeping you as slaves". But just in a softer way than passing laws.

    Yea it was ridiculous. And the choir sang psalm 100 - We Are His People, the Sheep of His Flock, which was hilarious.

    The church is taking advantage of the psalm and hacking it into "Obey the pope."

    If that's not disgusting enough, then what's worse is how the media is now acting like it's cool to be Christian when they always hated us prior to this pope getting hired. Now that they have one of their employees in charge of the Vatican, they won't shut up about him.

    I spent nearly a dozen years going to Catholic schools with daily relgious studies. I participated in (and led) youth retreats and services. I taught night school courses for younger kids. I went to Denver in 1993 for World Youth Day and was mere inches from Pope John Paul II at one point.

    In those Catholic schools I also learned science, mathematics, history, English, a bit of German, some French, and a whole bunch of other things.

    Those Catholic schools made me into the atheist I am today.

    I'm definitely not, But I spent a dozen years in Catholic schools with daily relgious classes. I also taught night classes for children prior to their First Communion and First Confession. I'm not an expert in Catholic dogma, but I'm confident I know more than most Catholics.

    A person who is conscious of grave sin (perhaps you were not previously aware, you are now!) is not to receive communion without first participating in the sacrement of confession. [Can. 916]

    I haven't noticed it until recently. Part of it has to do with (for Catholics) having a cool priest.

    During President Trump's first term we used to pray for him at mass. It was awesome. But now there's this new priest who is a little bit crazy and all of a sudden Psalm 100 ("We are sheep") is his favorite jam.

    So I think the Catholic church (some of them at least) are going through some anti-Trump changes that are probably being sponsored by people with big bucks.

    Just as an example "a pope picked by PepsiCo & Proctor & Gamble" or "chosen by the world elite" etc. etc.

    The Pope is chosen by a college of Cardinals from all over the world, guided by the Holy Spirit.



    In other news, The Pope has a degree in mathematics from Villanova University.

    This means he doesn't just understand sin, he understands cos, too!

    You do know that "Woke", in its original definition and meaning, is contextually the same as "Awake" from Ray Nelson's short story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" published in 1963?

    It's the story that inspired the John Carpenter's 1988 film: They Live. Which, even though it cast Rowdy Roddy Piper as the lead, still manages to be a great flick.

    Do you remember Bill Knapp resturants?

    They catered to an older crowd. The problem is that the older crowd was dying off and they weren't liked by the younger crowd. Time went on, and when they realized that they needed to pivot to the younger crowd, it was too late and the restaurants closed.

    Well, churches are the same way. The older crowd gave the money, so they needed to cater to them. But that style turned off the younger crowd who didn't go when they got old enough to make that decision.

    As a result, many churches are trying to appeal to that younger crowd.

    But all that hides that fact that they are just as Elitist as the Democrats.

    And, IMHO, just as infiltrated as the universities by the Wokies.

    I don't remember Bill Knapps, but I get it. The Catholic Church was probably trying to appeal to older people during Trump's first term, but have since figured out that it's the younger generation that has more money.

    They like money. If I ran a business and woke was the way to make profits, I guess I'd do the same thing (whatever it takes to maximize profits.)

    Have any sources on that? Every quote I have heard or can back search on shows him staunchly in the Pro-Life camp.

    "Criticism of "Pro-Life" Contradictions: He has publicly argued that those who are against abortion but in favor of the death penalty are not fully living out the "pro-life" label." - CBS News

    - This is not a new criticism of those that are pro death penalty and also pro life, and you do get yourself in a bit of a semantics bind when you call abortion "State sponsored murder" on one hand yet volcally rally behind capital punishment with the other.

    Consistent Ethic of Life: He argues that "pro-life" must go beyond just the unborn to include support for women and families. - NewsNation

    - Fully 1000% support this! Not enough support is given to orphanages aorund the world, or even support for our state/county foster and adoption agencies.
    How many of die hard pro-lifers would consider adoption or becomming foster parents. How many of you would explicitly tell your children not to bully someone who is in foster care or have been adopted. Crulest thing I ever heard was someone telling another adopted kid "You were put up for adoption because your parents didn't want you." At a Catholic school! Pope Leo's stance against surrogocy directly ties into this as it directs parents away from adopting.

    Looks like the Pope shut up!!!

    I was not born Catholic, I became Catholic later in life. Married my wife at a Catholic Church... anyway...

    The Priest at the church was a left wing nut job. He set things on your seat before mas, left wing articles, or whatever, you had to bend down and pick it up before you sat down.

    Because I was just baptized I had to be more reserved, that and my wife telling me to relax, I managed no to shout things out like I had Tourette Syndrome.

    Fun fact... This same priest could sing, operatic like, he did a season singing as the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera.

    He was good, sang an entire Mas one time as well.

    Eye for an Eye... Exodus 21:24, Leviticus 24:20, and Deuteronomy 19:21. It mandated that punishments fit the crime, designed to restrain excessive vengeance, rather than encourage personal retaliation. <-- Google Search to get the result I knew.

    Women should stop engaging in behavior that will get them pregnant. MEN should stop engaging in activities where a woman can kill your child or take you for everything you have.

    As for the Death Penalty comment... I think there room for this. If
    crimes are heinous enough you got to go!!!!

    Eye for an Eye... Exodus 21:24, Leviticus 24:20, and Deuteronomy 19:21.
    It mandated that punishments fit the crime, designed to restrain excessive vengeance, rather than encourage personal retaliation. <-- Google Search
    to get the result I knew.

    I have opinions, I have 3 daughters, I'll let them know how I feel about their bodies and their choices... Others can do whatever they want, God will judge and sort things out later.

    Women should stop engaging in behavior that will get them pregnant. MEN should stop engaging in activities where a woman can kill your child or take you for everything you have.

    Stupid and mysoginyst thought, but totaly in line with all your other posts.

    "Men should stop....." So don't date, and don't get married. Already there.


    Women should be allowed to have an abortion only after the baby daddy
    signs off on it.

    So Abortion is okay, as long as both parents agree.

    You sir, have no business commenting on the Catholic faith.
    Especially since the only reason you seem to be criticizing the Catholic Church is because he is critical of President Trump, which means you are putting an idiology (MAGA), and a person (Trump) before Jesus and the church.

    The Pope is deleting old Social Media post and trying to clean up the mess.

    Pope needs to FOCUS on Pope things.

    But this is the standard Left play.
    Take a successful, trusted organization: The Catholic Church.
    Infiltrate it with Wokies: The simple fact that Woke Pope II was 'elected' says it all.
    Hollow out that trusted organization and wear it as a skin suit, demanding that people still respect it.

    The Catholic Church has fallen.

    Women should stop engaging in behavior that will get them pregnant.
    MEN should stop engaging in activities where a woman can kill your
    child or take you for everything you have.

    Personal responsibility. What a concept.

    Women should be allowed to have an abortion only after the baby daddy signs off on it.

    But then how will she go on welfare?

    So you are upset because the Pope is on Social Media? That is
    ridiculous. So religious leaders who embraces radio, TV, etc. To spread the word were out of their lane?

    Religion and politics have always been bedfellows, strange at time, but the two are often entwined.


    Stop putting words into my mouth.

    I do NOT care what you think or who you vote for. I am not here to change your mind or vote. Go do what you want, I don't care.

    And I don't care if you are gay!!!

    And I didn't say that the Pope couldn't have Social Media or use the TV or Radio either.

    My thoughts are simple.... The Pope should use those platforms to promote Catholic and Christin values. Maybe he can do some selfies at a parenting organization promoting child birth. Showing how these organizations helping mothers who want to have a child

    Maybe the Pope can fly to some desperate country where people are starving and do some selfies there as well... As he's handing out food for the people...

    There is a lot he could do with the platforms we have, but he didn't choose that he chose to promote his left wing ideology and talk about open borders and migration, these are some of the posts he deleted and tried to hide.

    If he feels that way... Tear down the wall that surrounds the Vatican and let the migrants in there.

    He should instead travel to some places where open borders have let in millions of un-vetted migrants where they have raped and killed young women and children.

    I am a "Catholic", baptized Catholic, married Catholic, but started going to a non-Catholic church because I think the Pope is too political, this one anyway.


    It's not, someone said the EXACT SAME THING TO ME (Pro-Life but Pro Death Penalty), when I was in High School.


    My opinions are mine. The Church may feel one thing, but I differ. I may have to answer for that someday... But they are mine.

    I side with the government... If they feel you have committed a heinous enough crime and you deserve the death penalty, then that's it.

    BTW, I'll change that position. For example, there is a young woman in Iran right now, she has a Green card I think, who is going to, or has already been, killed for opposing the government there... THEY are going to rape her repeatedly before she's executed so that she is violated and can't go to heaven. <--- I think this is wrong... and I don't care what you think or do I get worked up if you don't start thinking my way.


    Stupid and mysoginyst thought, but totaly in line with all your other posts.

    "Men should stop....." So don't date, and don't get married. Already there.


    Great!!!

    My thoughts aren't misogynistic... Its more like accountability...

    I have talked about this in this echo in the past... I'll recap a bit...

    I went to University and I worked 2 jobs while doing so. I worked with the physically handicapped at one place and the mentally handicapped at an other.

    There was a woman at the 1st place I mentioned who got pregnant, she was wheelchair ridden as she suffered from Hydrocephalus. I worked with nothing but women at that job and they all were busting that ladies ass about things... I took a different approach... I took the lady, every week, to Lamaze classes so that she could better prepare herself for what she was going threw... She didn't have family to help her.

    I took her to the hospital on delivery day, helped her get admitted, found the Hospital Chaplin so that she could talk with him, she went to Church regularly, and I was in the delivery room when she gave birth.

    She had a c-section because she couldn't have the child naturally. The doctor doing the procedure found out my background and then invited me to watch him do the procedure, including the close... the suturing up and what not.

    She adopted the baby out to a caring couple. That couple sent her pictures of her daughter from time to time to keep her in the loop of her baby's development.

    Doesn't sound misogynistic to me...

    As I have said here in the past... I once was asked by a friend if I would take her to get an abortion, this was the year I tried to be a liberal. I had nothing to do with her being pregnant, she went to Jamaica for a vacation and brought a souvenir back. This single vent changed me.

    I now believe if you want an abortion leave me out of it.

    What I mean by the last sentence is this... Don't call me to take you for an abortion OR use my tax money for recreational abortions... Nothing misogynistic here.

    My last point on the abortion front... I was at school, the University I went to, and happened to walk by a young woman emotional and crying outside of the Heath Services office... I went up to ask her if she was Okay and she responded that she just found out she was pregnant... Apparently it was her first time doing "IT" and she got pregnant.

    Leftoids or Libtards, you choose, would have talked her into killing the baby. I chose not to... I said that she should talk with her parents before doing anything... She did and she kept the baby, her parents kicked in while she finished her degree... She changed Universities to do that.

    I know I know... I was a misogynist because I didn't tell her to kill the baby... The baby would be ~25 years old by now.

    I am not a perfect man, Catholic or Christian, not even close. But I have been able to look back at life to see where my thinking need some alterations and I made the course corrections I thought I needed.

    You, or anyone else for that matter, need not to think like me. My life experiences shaped my life. I'll be answerable to God for what I have done... Maybe I should be more fanatical on abortion and the death penalty...

    I am right politically, you don't have to be. I believe in consequences to your behavior... so if you have sex and get pregnant its on you. I believe if you want an abortion, have one, but at least in the early stages. I also believe the death penalty fits certain crimes... you don't have to think my way... and there may be some hypocrisy in your eyes.

    But I say... don't judge me until you've made your own life as perfect as you think I should be.


    You sir, have no business commenting on the Catholic faith.
    Especially since the only reason you seem to be criticizing the Catholic Church is because he is critical of President Trump, which means you are putting an idiology (MAGA), and a person (Trump) before Jesus and the church.


    I wished the Democrats had policies we could debate instead of "Orange Man Bad" so that we can discus something other that.

    BTW, I am curious as to what exactly it is in Trump's America 1st policies that you don't like??

    That would help, but ultimately I think we need protection for donors they should always know exactly what their donation will be used for.

    Looks like the Pope shut up!!!

    Good, but just wait until he needs a few more bucks..

    The Priest at the church was a left wing nut job. He set things on your seat before mas, left wing articles, or whatever, you had to bend down
    and pick it up before you sat down.

    Sometimes the priests are part of a political agenda, but neither Democrats nor Republicans are free of sin. Pope Leo and Pope Francis both failed to recognize that when they took sides.

    AFAIK they have an election where only 113 cardinals vote. But the thing is: they are just men, and they are no closer to God than anyone else. And what are their political leanings? IMO: 113 votes are easier to buy than 270 electoral votes. And buying a pope buys influence of the entire world.

    Nothing beat Pope John Paul II!! I just wonder what they talk about amongst themselves as they select the guy. I recall someone swaying that they chose Pope Francis because he was a little older, they didn't want him to last as long as Pope John Paul.

    Some of the things we are going through might just be growing pains as he gets settled in.

    We had a Spanish speaking church we use to go to here... They had Sunday School for Amanda. During Mas I'd be saying... I know that word... and that one too.

    There is one that we went to after that because its attached to her Schools.

    Anyway, I don't think the Pope thought Trump would respond... Its funny

    Great... I just heard that the passed the funding they needed for ICE and whatnot by reconciliation... And I heard how they could use this for the Save America Act.

    For reconciliation to occur it has to be attached to funding. You can't use reconciliation for policy issues... SO... the work around might go like this.

    If you don't ask voters for proof they are citizens to register to vote and ask them to prove who they are before they vote you will loose X amount of dollars because of doing so. And hence the funding!!! GBG

    Most people could give you a detailed list of the America First Policies, a hint, its in the name.

    But when you ask a Democrat about their policies you get shrugged off and then they say... Orange Man Bad...

    Meanwhile in America a young mother brutally beaten and the Joe Biden migrant beats and bites a young infant. Bystanders fought the migrant until the police came.

    Baby suffers from PTSD now and is missing teeth and has facial injuries from the migrant biting him.

    AND a young woman, and her new boyfriend, attacked with a machete from a Joe Biden migrant.

    Trump is just trying to fix what Barry and Joe broke.

    I wished to GOD that the justice system moved more quickly. I think
    this is all co-related , there is a common thread to all of this and I think it'll all point back to Barry et all.

    But it won't end with Osama. He was funded by others since he's a worthless person.

    I fear that the if the justice system doesn't start moving more quickly, the more radical fringes of our country will "help it along".

    I know you'll recall Barry back in the day talking about pumping soooo much disinformation so that the public cannot discern between the truth and the lies.

    Yup. That's why I get my information from a variety of sources and I delay in taking action until I get the **real** story.

    There will be a complete collapse if this ends up being the Republicans own version of "Russia Russia".

    Lets start taking out some of these players if what they say exists let the courts hear the evidence.

    Me too, I "try" to wait and hear things out. I did that in the past, I a science past, and I try to think things out logically. But I'm getting tired of multiple sources and nothing gets done.

    Yup. I think most of us have found good channels for actual information. These bad players have been exposed. But, ya, nothing's being done.

    Hello, McFly... Someone tried to kill him again. I think this failed act got his midterm House and Senate Republican majority.

    I was watching the news today and Trey Gowdy was talking, you recall trey was once a House member and a successful prosecutor... He thought that Barry might fall under the presidential immunity as described by the Supreme Court.

    Piss me off... well kinda...

    I want justice and accountability... But I will take everything being fully exposed and changes made.

    And to be honest I don't think Barry stopped working in the conspiracy and he was doing his dirty work during Joe's term and as a result he can't ask for immunity.

    So, Barry gets exposed, Mike divorces him, his Presidential Library fails... He's shamed soooooooooooo bad that he moves back to whatever country in Africa he's from...

    And that's about it I guess

    I'm not talking about the insane Left. I'm talking about the more radical Right people who could possibly to something like start assassinating Leftist judges.

    I was watching the news today and Trey Gowdy was talking, you recall
    trey was once a House member and a successful prosecutor... He thought that Barry might fall under the presidential immunity as described by
    the Supreme Court.

    So I'm torn here. We need Presidential Immunity. And we have a process to prosecute a sitting member of the gov't - a process that is cumbersome for good reasons - we don't want to hamstring someone when they need to perform their duty.

    On the other hand, I think we need to tighten it up a bit. The Left is good at pushing the boundaries and corrupting good ideas so that they can do evil.

    I want justice and accountability... But I will take everything being fully exposed and changes made.

    I think our frustration is that EVERYTHING is (pretty much) fully exposed. But prosecutions are slow in coming.

    And to be honest I don't think Barry stopped working in the conspiracy
    and he was doing his dirty work during Joe's term and as a result he
    can't ask for immunity.

    Presidential Immunity stops when he's no longer President.

    Which is why the Left is pushing hard right now. Their crimes and schemes are getting exposed.

    So, Barry gets exposed, Mike divorces him, his Presidential Library fails... He's shamed soooooooooooo bad that he moves back to whatever country in Africa he's from...

    And another lower level operative is taken out while the puppet masters are still safe. That's part of the problem.

    Osama isn't the puppet master. He's just another puppet who doesn't realize he still has strings.

    I think the idiot right are looking like idiots the longer things go on.

    Candace Owens was saying something like... The war mongers are androids, or what ever, that just look like humans... That's not exact... but close... and I'm sure Tucker et. al will shoot himself in the foot at some point.

    I respect Trey. When he was a prosecutor he never lost a case, he's one of the best. Maybe he said what he said because he didn't want to blow sh!t up, who knows.

    The problem with the interview the reported never asked a follow up question to let him opine on his response.

    Lets just say for a moment that Trey is right and Barry can't be charged for the spearheading of this conspiracy, I redacted a lot, but lets just say its true...

    Welp, if Barry was still working his magic behind the scenes during Joe Biden's term and during the Kamala's run... anything that pointed back to the original start he could be charged. I would argue that.

    Today James Comey was indicted for that 8647 stuff and one of Fauci advisors was indicted as well.

    https://youtu.be/Hjz2BzaDqm0?si=s2ERLZII7o8IHw4t

    I know that you don't like the links... but this is the best...

    Barry's library is to open this summer and it will be opening with all this legal stuff going on, with most of his cabinet getting indicted and the truth finally getting out. It maybe a sad day for him.

    I believe Barry will see justice at some point.


    I think our frustration is that EVERYTHING is (pretty much) fully
    exposed. But prosecutions are slow in coming.


    Were SLOW AF. I think we are not part of the planning. Things are coming out and they will be during the midterm primaries.

    Supreme Court upheld Texas. Florida meeting today that may add 4 or 5 more seats. Alabama said if the Supreme Court says you can't redistrict based on race, the governor said he's going to fix his state and that may add 3 or 4 seats.

    and the biggest killer for the Democrats is simple, they have no policies to run on... Orange Man Bad only goes so far.


    Presidential Immunity stops when he's no longer President.


    I covered that in my thinking. Grab a beer and relax.


    And another lower level operative is taken out while the puppet masters are still safe. That's part of the problem.

    Osama isn't the puppet master. He's just another puppet who doesn't realize he still has strings.

    A sad day for an Elitist means a good day for everyone.

    I think so too. But there's a high probability that he will take off and hide.

    and the biggest killer for the Democrats is simple, they have no
    policies to run on... Orange Man Bad only goes so far.

    They never did have any policies to run on. All their policies were sound nice, feel good stuff that hurt the country. And now the majority now understand that and won't fall for the nice sounding names and "intent" of their policies.

    Osama isn't the puppet master. He's just another puppet who doesn't realize he still has strings.

    I think so too. People certainly committed crimes. They knew they committed crimes. And only committed them beliving that they would be protected.

    I saw a video comparing Johnny Carson with Jimmy Kimmel. They looked at how classy Johnny was the day after Regan was shot, as well as the crowed at the Academy Awards, mainly liberals, welcomed Johny's work in hosting it.

    2026 we have Jimmy and you know the rest... I hope we can all get back to the day where we are team USA.


    That's a certain. Presidential Immunity doesn't protect you when you aren't President.


    My thinking as well... and there is no way Barry, when he was in office, could go to one of P Diddy's party, get all RAPE-EE with someone and claim Presidential Immunity.

    Presidential Immunity covers the president for official acts and not the treasonous acts Barry commited.


    I saw that. I'm hoping for convictions, and potentially plea deals as they spill who they took orders from.


    I'm trying to remain hopeful... Not sure where this will go... I understand the charges... Think about this. Will Amazon be accountable for the 8647 merch it sold. I saw reports that other people are wearing their 8647 erch again.

    We'll see.

    I think you're there has been a mass exodus out of the democrat part. and in the past 2 days we've had 2 Supreme Court rulings that will affect the Democrats for the foreseeable future. Texas gets to keep their new redistricting map... and TODAY... they ruled that you can't redistrict based on race.

    The Democrats may win the house back in 2126


    I think so too. People certainly committed crimes. They knew they committed crimes. And only committed them beliving that they would be protected.
