" like for the poor is at betting odds with government . "
By now, I’m sure you know there is a newly elected pope —Pope Leo XIV.
As the Catholic Church embraced Pope Leo, many eyes turned to the religion’s followers to see how they feel about their new leader. And, seeing asCatholicism is largely a conservative practice,curiosity especially turned toward MAGA’s response.
Well, American conservatives have been vocal insharing their opinionsvia ther/conservativesubreddit. Here’s a raw, unedited, and candid recap of what they’re saying:
1.“They say he’s more conservative on the gospel, if that’s true, it’ll be a good thing I think. That said, time will tell.”
" I care the energy Pope Francis bring to young people , just dislike his open politics and more liberal horizon of the evangel . He did a pile of good externally and for the reputation of the church to general public . It is exciting to be in a Modern era though . The only thing I did n’t like is he did n’t mouth in English during the inauguration . Would have been a neat thing to see with him being the first American Pope . "

2.“Assuming I have the right X account, he reposted a tweet recently which wasanti-Trump in regard to immigration policy. I am Catholic, I generally liked Pope Francis (and likely this new Pope) but disagree with them on their immigration statements.”
" Catholic Doctrine is essentially this : Nations have a moral duty to regulate in-migration for the sake of parliamentary procedure and security measures , but they must also treat migrants justly and humanely , specially those fly real danger . To the Modern Pope I ’d say : We are one of the most large-hearted nations in the human race , but the President has a duty to enforce laws . We have treated removal humanely and illegal immigrant not following our jurisprudence does far more harm than good . "

3.“I’m honestly exhausted by people who only view the Pope through a political lens. The papacy isn’t a partisan office.”
" The Pope is n’t some figurehead to be cheer or attacked based on political party lines . He ’s the Vicar of Christ , not a political operative . Reducing him to a cheap political leader omit the full point of his function and calling . "

4.“The papacy has always had political influence.”
" Caring for the poor is at betting odds with governing decisions sometimes . That ’s just how the creation is . Reality often gets in the way of life of perfection . "
