...a practicing Catholic, yearning for another pope: "Pope Leo Scraps Church Doctrine to Appease Dems".
On the April 12 edition of 60 Minutes, the Cardinals lent their talents to a veritable infomercial for the Democratic Party. The openly leftist Blase Cupich, whom Leo appointed Cardinal, called Trump’s social media posts about the war “sickening” and “dehumanizing.” Cardinal Robert McElroy baldly mischaracterized the administration’s illegal immigrant removal, and Cardinal Joseph Tobin blasted Trump for his "graphic exploitation of sacred imagery,” admittedly an unforced error on Trump’s part.
No one mentioned abortion, which claimed more than a million unborn Americans in 2025 alone. No one mentioned the young lives destroyed by “gender affirming therapy.” No one mentioned the scores of Americans murdered by illegal immigrants. No one even mentioned Sheridan Gorman, the Catholic college student murdered last month by an illegal in Cupich’s backyard.
As someone once wrote, never does the church so closely resemble Jesus as when broken and betrayed from within.
There are, however, many priests, nuns, bishops and even a few cardinals who object to the path this pope is taking, pointing out that Leo's pronouncements on political matters, even when clothed in the language of scripture, are merely pastoral in nature and are not in the least binding on the faithful. Pray for guidance, Your Holiness; you can't excommunicate all of us, unless you're content to head up a rump Christian sect.
