MAGA world isn’t happy that Pope Leo XIV seems to have criticized Trump on immigration
"President Donald Trump congratulated Pope Leo XIV on his election Thursday, calling it “an honor to realize that he is the first American Pope.” But some of the president’s supporters are less thrilled by the choice.
As soon as his election was announced, the new pope’s past social media posts were quickly unearthed, some of which appeared to be critical of Trump’s immigration policies and of Vice President JD Vance.
As Cardinal Robert Prevost, Leo had posted an article from National Catholic Reporter in February that rebutted Vance’s interpretation of a Catholic theological concept, “ordo amoris,” as a hierarchy of Christian love. Days later, he shared on X an article from America Magazine that was critical of Trump’s immigration policies and the rhetoric demonizing migrants.
His last public activity on X was in April, when he reposted an essay from Bishop Evelio Menjivar, an auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, who condemned the administration’s legally questionable immigration enforcement tactics."
