But maybe Leo isn’t a fan of Exodus or Deuteronomy. Or the Bible. Maybe he is a cafeteria Catholic. Or maybe he is a closet Muslim. Or maybe he really doesn’t believe there’s a difference.
"There is a great wall protecting Vatican City. The wall is two miles long and 39 feet tall. It is made of thick, solid brick.
"Pope Leo IV ordered the construction of the massive barrier around the year 850 A.D. to shield the city-state from invaders. It was deemed crucial to keeping invaders out.
"But the fortification, stout as it is, isn’t stout enough to keep the staggering and repulsive hypocrisy emanating from Pope Leo XIV in.
"Ten Leos later, the current pope, an American, has largely shunned Biblical teaching on morality, truth -- and other Biblical concerns — to verbally harass an American president by weighing in on political matters and clearly picking sides."Against that president.
"He is effectively opposed to a wall on America’s Southern border and does not believe the U.S. has a right to control immigration. (There’s your staggering hypocrisy.) Like the pontiff before him, this leftist Leo clearly has a political agenda, one he thinks trumps any religious obligation he might have.
"The Holy See refused to join President Donald Trump’s proposed peace initiative in the Middle East, and has continued Vatican cooperation with communist China, where state-approved bishops are now enforcing restrictions against unregistered Catholics. And state-approved surgeons are removing the organs of undead Uyghurs.
"Moreover, Leo XIV has approved sainthood for a bishop who admittedly slept with young men and engaged in disturbing acts with indigenous boys.
"And he has seen to the opening of a Muslim prayer room in the Vatican’s Apostolic Library. Which is apostasy, something that used to be frowned upon in the Christian religion, perhaps because the Biblical God stated “You shall have no other gods before me,“ and “Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.” . . .
. . . "And, mind-bogglingly, he had nothing really to say about the ongoing genocide of Christians in Nigeria by Islamists. Even about the dozens upon dozens of men, women, and children who were slaughtered over Easter weekend while celebrating the Resurrection. Men, women, and children who were slaughtered by Mohammedans in various Christian communities and churches on the holiest weekend of the year. He is now touring the African continent, and has left Nigeria off his agenda. How is this possible?! Lord God, please help me to understand." . . . Full article...
UPDATE: Popes like this one are the reason there are Protestants . . . "Yet here we stand. Almost half of all Christians are Protestants. Martin Luther did not desire this split. In fact, he most likely would have abhorred it. He -- and many others -- simply wanted the Catholic Church to end its obvious corruption and return to saving souls and spreading the gospel of Jesus.
"As an ex-management consultant who understands organizations, I see the advent of Protestantism as a direct result of the failures of the organization at the top of the Catholic Church. They were the problem. And sadly, as Pope Leo just reminded us, remain to this day.
"Let’s analyze the situation. The Catholic Church is experiencing a huge wave of growth in the United State, especially among younger people. This is a good thing. There is a palatable desire for meaning in people’s lives. Far too many are spiritually lost and hunger for salve for their souls.
"You can almost feel a new, Catholic-led Great Awakening just waiting to race across the land.
"So what does Pope Leo do at this focal point of history? He jumps into the political fray and quite clearly attacks Trump and to add insult to injury, has three left-wing bishops do a hit piece on the TV show “60 Minutes.” . . .
