Pope Francis’ Last Act Was to Give JD Vance a Lesson About Migrants
"Pope Francis, who died at 88 on Monday, used his last days on the planet to order up a stern dressing down to JD Vance on the White House’s attitude to migrants.
It was an entirely fitting final set piece from one of the few world leaders who had the courage—and political immunity—to stand up to and criticize, often in blistering terms, both presidencies of Donald Trump, explicitly calling his migration policies a “disgrace” and “not Christian.”
While that brief meeting appears to have been largely conciliatory in tone, with Vance telling Francis, “It’s good to see you in better health,” Francis’ official Easter speech later in the day seemed to rebuke the MAGA/Vance stance on immigrants and foreign aid: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants,” Francis wrote in the address."
