Summary
Pope Francis criticized Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, calling them “a disgrace” that unfairly punish vulnerable individuals.
Speaking on an Italian talk show, Francis argued such measures fail to solve underlying issues and conflict with principles of justice and inclusion.
He also congratulated Trump on his inauguration, urging him to promote a just society free of hatred and exclusion.
U.S. Catholic leaders echoed the pope’s concerns, citing Catholic teachings on protecting human dignity and welcoming migrants, despite national security challenges.
How about you tell him it goes against the teachings of Christ? That’s supposed to mean something to his followers.
The pope is too “woke” for many Catholics, whose religion dictates that the pope is always right whether they like it or not because god. Awkward place to be in, but it doesn’t seem to stop them
While Catholics do have a lot of wacky beliefs, papal infallibility is somewhat more limited than this. It only applies when the pope makes an ex cathedra statement, so he would have to state this in a much more specific and formal manner to be considered undisputable doctrine.
I wish that would affect them. Even just to pause and reflect. They won’t. It hasn’t been about the teachings of Christ for a long time.
As if they care.
