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.

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?
I don't know anyone who asks the cake server to scrape off the frosting. They just do that themselves, often because the frosting just overwhelms the cake, not for any reasons of diet or moral superiority. And asking for a smaller slice doesn't involve extra labor (oh, they love that word, don't they?) since the server can just give that already-cut-but-too-big piece to someone else, or give the other half of yours to someone else who wants a small piece.
