The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.
It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.
So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

Maybe they don't speak out because they cannot in good conscience support Harris. I could give a half dozen reasons why they might feel that way but let me just pull one out of the hat. Here she is, a few months ago: "I have studied the map... the Israelis must not go into Rafah." You may not know any but there are a good number of good people (several writers for The Dispatch come to mind) who feel they cannot in good conscience support either candidate. The fact that you cannot understand or …
It's not a question of supporting Harris or not. They can speak out against trump without endorsing her. It's a question of defending the Constitution and our country's democracy. Plain and simple.
"Plain and simple," you say. I don't know you but think I can say without being insulting that the people in question (former presidents, generals, etc) probably have more experience with difficult decisions than you do. And they have decided not to speak out. So maybe it's not as plain and simple as you think. Maybe, even, they don't think the situation is as apocalyptic as you think.
You are just making things up. Mattis and Milley are the ones who made the statements to Woodward. Calling him facist to the core. Sure but Harris said not to go to Rafah. The fact that you think that those things are remotely the same is the problem here. You’re just a troll and perfect for the Dispatch. Jonah Goldberg? Please.
