Pope Leo XIV spoke out on abortion, the death penalty, and immigration on Tuesday. He also recommended partisan Dick Durbin to receive a Catholic Church Lifetime Achievement Award for his work on immigration.
Durbin’s work is purely political to get more Democrat voters, and a permanent underclass in America who like his party’s now hardcore left policies. Pope Leo is stepping into politics he knows nothing about.
The Story
Pope Leo from Chicago is friends with radical left Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich and asked him to give the award. Conservative Bishops were displeased since Durbin is a radical supporter of radical abortions. In any case, Dick, a Catholic turned down the award. However, he was “overwhelmed” by Pope Leo defending him on abortion.
The Equivalence Gimmick
Pope Leo drew equivalence between the death penalty of vicious murderers and killing a fully formed baby in the womb. He again drew equivalence between the unrelated killing of an unborn baby and deporting of illegal immigrant. Many of the people brought in are criminals, terrorists, and deadbeats.
“Someone who says ‘I’m against abortion but says I am in favor of the death penalty’ is not really pro-life,” Pope Leo said. “Someone who says that ‘I’m against abortion, but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life.”
Immigrants are not treated inhumanely by being deported and if they resist, they make it more difficult, but that still is not inhumane. It is inhumane to allow Tren de Aragua to build a vast footprint in this country under Biden whereas they had none before. We have more Chinese gangs, Haitian gangs, radical Islamists, and warlords due to open borders. We have people we can’t afford who are living on the dole, depriving America’s children and families of quality education, jobs, and security.
Bringing unvetted people into countries to destroy who they are is evil.
Pope Leo probably has only the best of intentions, but as a Catholic, I am so glad I don’t have to agree with him. I don’t agree with him at all. He needs to get out of politics. Until the next Pope, I’ve turned him off.
Remembering the Pandemic
During the pandemic, my church caved and closed up shop. They didn’t fight for our freedom. Meanwhile, liquor stores and pot shops were open here in New York.
The USA, using their totalitarian approach, lost more people to COVID than any other nation recorded and we lost our freedoms.
The Church spoke less about abortions, particularly as late term abortions became law.
When a dangerous child mutilation ideology hit the scene, they spoke in whispers if at all.
Pope Leo is no Pope John Paul II. He’s Pope Francis 2.0, and I won’t listen to him except on matters of faith and doctrine. He’s just another leftist.
Durbin has called for comprehensive immigration reform. In other words, he wants amnesty for all people here illegally, forever changing America. He wants no deportations. The only reward he deserves is to be forced to live in a ghetto of his making.

Transcript
Covid changed everything for me because I thought the American church was strong and courageous. I thought the American church was actually filled with Christians. And I thought the American church hated tyranny and hated evil, as it says in Psalm 9710, let those of you who love the Lord hate evil. And I was totally wrong. I made the worst prediction American podcasting where I looked into the camera, similar to this, and I said, Hey, these lockdowns, they’re not going to last a long time, because the American church loves liberty. And that was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever said on my show, because the American church did not love Liberty and its proper role.
The American church should be counselor to the king, similar to David Nehemiah, Esther, Mordecai, Jeremiah, Daniel, being counselor to the king is the biblical role and is the rightful role.
And right now there is no counselor to the king. Right now the American church is completely absent. The American church is looking much and more, much and much more like a secular TED talk with good coffee and organized parking with a rock concert in between. And it’s not taking its correct role of speaking truth into the culture of bringing up disciples, not converts of all nations.
Care about your nation
In Jeremiah, 29 seven, it says, demand the welfare of the nation that you are in, because your welfare is tied to your nation’s welfare. We should care about our nation; we should care about our country; we should fast and pray for our nation, as Daniel did in First Timothy, it says pray for all of your leaders by name, for the wants and concerns of which they are dealing with. We should care about what our leaders are grappling with.
And so I’m afraid the American church hasn’t done almost any of these things recently. I mean, there’s still some great pastors out there, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Pastor Rob McCoy, the Barnetts in Phoenix, there are some wonderful churches, but the vast majority, I’m talking about 90 plus percent, of American churches, are cowardly and are not speaking out into the culture with truth and boldness and the goodness of the gospel.
Are they cowardly or is it worse than that? Be careful of what church you join, not the denomination as much as the particular church.

The pope is just another liberal moron!
Hey Pope, if you aren’t too busy, come over and bless my last scotch on the rocks tonight.
How many illegals did the Vatican take in last year?
Another Reason Why I am LCMS Lutheran
Another progressive pope. How nice!
I wonder if this has provked a record number of comments?
This pope is going to be as crazy liberal as the last one.
Gosh, how come I don’t see illegal immigrants at the Vatican? It’s always US that have to do the durty work, ain’t it?
If not for illegals, what would be the size of the catholic church in the US? Would it be in decline just like the mainline protestant churches?
Also, the new pope looks dopey, like Elmer Fudd.
Can Governor Abbott bus/ship illegals to the walls surrounding the Vatican and see if this Pope will let them move in? or would deport them?
Tell us again about that very tall wall surrounding Vatican City? I was just wondering what would happen if someone was caught within the walls, you know, who was unauthorized to be there. Asking for a friend.
If he thinks it’s so inhumane, deport them all to the Vatican. The Vatican can humanely take them in..
So you accept the pope on faith and doctrine but nothing else? What is politics but faith and doctrine of the Christian church? Catholics aren’t even Christian in their doctrine. Wake up whoever you are, M Dowling.

Here’s Catholic Dogma:
-eat Christ and sacrifice Him all over again for your sins at every mass, and don’t doubt its Christ. Priests have authority over Christ to put Him into a cookie by yanking Him out of Heaven for that purpose
-babies can be born again as babies on the word of gay men
-worship Jesus’ mother Mary as a co-redeemer in forgiveness of sin
-plaster idols of any size are common in the RC Cult
-call priests Father when the Bible specifically forbids it
-openly gay men called priests are to be confessed to and administer forgiveness on behalf of Christ as a mediator, Scripture says the ONLY mediator between men and God is Christ, thus all Catholic sins remain unforgiven condemning them to hell
-Purgatory does not exist and is not in the Bible, yet the RCCult says God must have money through special masses to pay for the release of those in purgatory- oh, btw, we don’t know how much money it takes or when you will be released
Get out of her now says the Bible.

Thanks, Bob, you have listed many of the reasons why a large segment of Bible-believing Christians consider the Catholic ‘church’ to be a cult.
The Catholic Church slowly became an evil organization over the last 65 years. The process was slow…. so most people would not notice. When you look at the smirk on this false Popes face today, that should be enough for a real Christian to instantly recognize this impostor for what he really is…spawn of the devil.
Actually rich Italians took over the “church” and turned it into a business during the Middle Ages.
Popes have a long history dabbling in politics. The masses accept papal politics as divine politics. Peasants who dissent are expected to seek forgiveness of the Pope’s soldier priests making it better to repent than to dissent.
Open the Vatican gates and let the murdering rapist Muslims in Pope……then we’ll take you seriously.
This whole pharisee pope thing needs to end, or there won’t be a Catholic church much longer. People are sick of the pomp and circumstance of all fake religions.
What a confused, amoral, apostate fool this ‘pope’ is. Bergoglio, was awful and this selection represents his staking the consistory deck in favor of ideological leftists and behavioral deviants. These two have turned millions of Catholics into non-practitioners. ‘Blessing a block of ice’ – this guy is approaching ridiculous.
the pope is an a** clown, living within a heavily fortified walled city…when vactican city tears down their walls they can advize others on the merits of open borders…he has spent his adult life wearing a dress, the the resume for a real world view of the real world…
What is “The American Church”? One of the several flavors of Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists or Episcopalians? How about Unitarians, Church of God, Pentecostal Holiness, Church of the Nazarene, Congregationalist, 7th-Day Adventist, Latter-Day Saints, BME, JWs, and Greek Orthodox, etc., etc., etc. Then there are the innumerable independent evangelical mega-churches. Certainly, the “American Church” is not the Roman Catholic Church.
That fake pope pushes woke ideology that has ZERO basis in and often defies Scripture. Equating murder with telling people they have to obey the law is heinous. Hell will be hot for that false prophet.
“Pope Leo Suggests Deporting Illegals Is Inhumane, Like Abortion”— THAT FAR-LEFT CHICAGO EXTREMIST HYPOCRITE CAN EASILY SAY THAT, SINCE HIS VATICAN, WITH IT’S MASSIVELY HIGH SECURE WALLS, KEEPS ALL ILLEGALS OUT !!!
(CLICK ON GRAPHIC FOR FULL SIZE)
Well, either the Pope is wrong again, or he ain’t the Pope. Either what calls itself the Catholic Church is the Catholic Church, or it ain’t. How can a Pope and a Church be legitimate when it calls for the destruction of over 2000 years of teachings of the True Church founded by Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ? Fear not! God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit has and will triumph over the pathetic evil of this world. Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of God, we pray for an end of the madness that has engulfed the world.
Nowhere in the Bible does it speak of Mary as an “intercessor”, or anything other than the woman chosen to carry the Christ child to His birth.
That in itself TS an ‘intercession’…
If I hadn’t already, this clown alone would cause me to leave the Catholic Church.
Prevert would at least represent himself more honestly if he dressed as a clown.
my heart goes out to my Catholic friends.
Sorry you all have to suffer this apostate.
Do you believe you will escape this suffering? Are those who “protest” the Church Our Lord founded not “apostates”?
Well maybe pope Leo can cough up the $158 billion a year that it cost to subsidize Bidens border jumpers. If not, then he can put a sock in it.
This false pope lost his mind long ago. A pseudo-catholic congressman who supports abortion is nominated for an award by a pseudo-catholic cardinal and the false pope concurs, even though the false pope agrees that abortion is a horrible sin. The false pope somehow justifies his support by claiming that alleged mistreatment of illegal criminals (deporting them) and the death penalty are also sins. Then he blesses a block of ice at a climate crisis convention. Has this man lost the light of reason or what?
It’s what happens when the bugger boys take over the seminaries. They know each other and promote/protect each other. There were people I’ve known who had nothing but contempt for the Catholic Church. I’ve finally come to seeing their point.
Like the last one, this guy need to re-think why he’s in his job.
Pope-ism isn’t a political office, and he wasn’t elected to one. He needs to stay out of politics and other countries’ business and stick to “saving souls”.
Politics clearly is NOT his calling.
Neither is the papacy.
Neither is saving souls. And saving souls into apostate Catholicism is nothing I would desire.
Whut? You mean it’s not really THEM behind ll this but it is the Church after all? Jacobins.
Refusing illegals to settle in the Vatican is inhumane, like abortion.
How many homeless border crossers does he have living in Vatican City?
Send illegals to his home and see what he does.
Well US liberal use them for cheap labor! Does pope need that?
So Leo, the Illinoisan, is throwing props to another Illinoisan. I gotta benjamin that says Leo was a loyal Democrat voter back when he was living in IL, and Dickie D had a hand in making sure he was in a position to make it to where he is now.
It’s all in the Latin. No, not Gloria in Excelsis Deo(Glory to God in the Highest), it’s about quid pro quo.
I suggest Roman Catholics stay in their lane.
Why would you listen to him on matters of faith and doctrine?!?! His proclamations on politics show he does not respect faith and doctrine. They are not in line with the teachings of the Bible in any sense. I dont understand Catholics. “The pope is an idiot on politics and says things in direct contradiction of the teachings of the Bible and associates with people that might be actual Satanists, so I’m only going to listen to him on matters of faith and doctrine.”
WTF?!?!
He can go straight to Hell. You cannot keep a sovereign civilization by having anyone come in. I notice the Vatican is heavy guarded and with a wall. Old hypocrite. Our lives are worth just as much as his to keep us protected.
This Pompus Pimp is a moron. We are not killing Illegals so how is that the same as abortion?
This is the same clown who blessed a chunk of ice cuz “climate change” or sumpin’. He deserves to be utterly ignored by serious Catholics, and everyone else.
When The Vatican takes in, feeds, clothes, educates, and houses about 300 illegals along with the typical precentage of rapists and criminals we’ll talk more. Otherwise STFU…
Make that number about 30 MILLION, as obiden imported into the US. THEN, maybe we can have a discussion, although I see no need for one. It’s none of his business what we do to protect our country’s sovereignty.
If one supports this crackpot’s organization, are they serving God, or the one who was a liar and murderer from the beginning? [The Council of Trent condemned the doctrines …including salvation by faith alone ,,,]
8 Indeed, it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2
That cannot be true Leo, we just saw you blessing ice
So, he’s for a low carbon footprint person going into and staying in a high carbon footprint culture, adopting that lifestyle as well, when he was just blessing a block of ice over climate change. Shouldn’t folks stay in low carbon footprint countries, for the climate?
Nothing stands in the Pope’s way of filling the Vatican with illegals.
His failure to condemn Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, equating partial birth abortion or infanticide to a country protecting its borders, tells you all you need to know. He is not my Pope.
Another pope placed by the communist.
Bella Dodd said they put 1000 commies into the Catholic Church.
Fuck this guy. Who does he think he is?
The illegals SNUCK into America voluntarily and they can leave voluntarily – or by force.
Can I do that at the Vatican? Hypocrite
Huh. Didn’t take him long to snap into line.
Anyone, Pope or not, who worships at the alter of Climate change does NOT know the real God. His attempts to draw the youth back to the Church are in line with the Globalists, who worship Mother Earth, not the Lord. Was afraid he’d turn out like this. We now simply have another Marxist Pope.
Everyone has a different take on the One World Religion will be before Christ returns. .
I have believed for many years now that it will be Mother Earth. Satan’s plan is to be God. Being the very opposite of God, he will (is) deceive the masses with manmade religions including climate change, so that they will worship creation rather than the Creator.
This coming from a mere man in a flowing robe who follows in the footsteps of the men Jesus condemned in Matthew 23. Woe to him.
By coming into our country ILLEGALLY, you have no rights.
Capital punishment, or the death penalty, is addressed in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The Bible contains numerous instances where death is prescribed as a punishment for various crimes. Abortion is murdering innocent babies. Big difference.
Exodus 21: 22 If men are fighting and they injure a pregnant woman so that the child comes out, yet no harm follows, they must certainly be fined as much as the woman’s husband demands and the judges approve. 23 But if any harm follows, then you are to take life for life,… Manslaughter of unborn child brings capital punishment.
“He no playa the game, he no maka the rules” Earl Butz, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
Someone needs to educate this man. We have a legal process to be followed when coming to this country. The Bible teaches that believers should obey the laws of the land because all authority is established by God (Romans 13:1-2).
Sadly, it appears we have another ‘Frankie’ on our hands. Perhaps he should change his name to Pope Francis II.
These latest popes should tend their flock and quit rambling about Leftist talking points and politics. They are affirming my decision to leave the Church 20 years ago.
According to the Bible, God appoints rulers and kings, as stated in Romans 13:1, which emphasizes that all governing authorities are established by God. This principle suggests that even those in power, regardless of their character, are ultimately under God’s sovereignty.
