On social media, Pope Leo XIV has shared criticism of Trump and Vance over policies
Elected Thursday as the Catholic Church's first global leader to hail from the United States, Pope Leo XIV is in a new job that will have many crossovers into politics 바카라 게임 웹사이트 a realm not entirely unknown to the Chicago-born priest, whose social media history includes sharing criticism of Trump administration policies and of comments by Vice President JD Vance.
President Donald Trump has wished the new pope well in his role, calling Leo's election 바카라 게임 웹사이트such an honor for our country.바카라 게임 웹사이트 But it comes days after Trump posted an artificial intelligence-generated image of himself dressed as pope amid days of official mourning for Pope Francis. That act raised eyebrows at the Vatican and was denounced by former Italian Premier Romano Prodi as indecent political interference in matters of faith.
And last month, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops announced the end of a half-century of partnerships with the federal U.S. government to serve refugees and migrant children, saying the 바카라 게임 웹사이트heartbreaking바카라 게임 웹사이트 decision followed the Trump administration바카라 게임 웹사이트s abrupt halt to funding.
The majority of Leo's posts on the X platform are related to or in support of Catholic news and church initiatives. He rarely writes original content, but a look back through his social media timeline shows numerous posts sharing viewpoints opposed to moves aimed at restricting acceptance of migrants and refugees in the U.S.
