Prevost more and more looks like a partisan Leftist clown. What a circus of uselessness.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is not Catholic. He was raised in a devout Protestant household as the son of a pastor and often attributes his background to his faith and service

A new height of absurdity. What next…a trip to the Great Wall…or perhaps moon exploration.

Picture looks like a promo for MIB. Nothing says hands-on leadership like a trip overseas.

I’m betting the topics of fathering children and abandoning them, women having children to increase their monthly welfare payments and the murder, burglary, theft and assault so rampant in “ the communities “ won’t come up. The new “ Wope “ only reinforces the opinion of many that the Vatican hasn’t had a true leader since John Paul II.

Historically, the Catholic clergy, religious orders, and the Papal States owned slaves. The Vatican used captured Muslim prisoners of war to man its naval galleys, and the papacy historically issued decrees that legitimized the subjugation and enslavement of Indigenous peoples and “infidels”.

If the Pope wants anyone to pay reparations, he needs to start with the Catholic Church.

Wirepoints’ Mark Glennon on AM560: Why We Need to “Relentlessly” Make the Blue State-Red State Case

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
