Pope is the main tyrant running a government (vatican) disguised as a church. He could have spent time criticizing christian murders across the world but he didn't
Trumpet VS Pope
Pope Leo, well said!
TRUMP, POUTINE, NETANYAHU THOSE OLD CLOWNS SHOULD ALL RETIRE THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR CENTURY
Funny that he speaks about Trump but nothing about the historic and current PDF's in the priesthood. Empty words
WHITE house cut out all financial support to catholic humanitarian aid immediately. @!!!
trump will be gone in 3 years, pope will be with us for a long time. my money is on pope.
top 3 leaders are all like that ….
Pope believes that Christianity must capitulate to evil.
This inc the Muslim African states killing thousands of Christians? Traitor pope
😂😂😂 Trump can forget the nobel peace prise for all his shitty little life he has left. 👋👋👋🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
100 and 100 of people are being sentenced to death , where is hé ???
Cardinal Sarah would have been a better pope
its easy said iof you have good life, words will not make it,,,, so change something
There's hundreds of millions of people around the world refugees in their own countries because of the theft of the world from its people and billions living in poverty because of this and to mention all the worlds people enslaved by capitalism and the Christian religion among others, these satanic people have no connection with a loving God but an evil cruelty
Says the guy from behind ornate barricaded palisades with vaults of gold plundered from the poor and parents of abused children…
sorry but its also strange that you judge words of others,,, only cause you work in the tv and everybody sees you, you have no diea how it really is, its funny what you say, people dont take it seriously,,, yes you can report but neutral pelase and stop to achuse trumpe, he is good busineness and many people ahve got good life cause his skills, so behave intelligent and stop to put all on trump,,,
You mean like himself who’s surrounded by a big wall.
Finally a world leader with a spine, and being very direct with his rebuttal…Helps a lot that he is an American, because i dont thing Americans think other people can voice against their wanton brutish wars.
it is a positive sight when holy people speak up against people in power over wrong doings.
India… will need this voice and courage someday.
Well done sir absolute respect
Words have now been weaponised. Like everything else. History is written by those with bombs and pens.
Pope crimes he is protecting child abusers and criminals. Emanuela orlandi case.
Pope Leo 14 is doing what St John Paul II did. There should not be fear as Jesus has gone before us. There should not be fear as those who curse you, they have curse in the name of Jesus. There should not be fear as Jesus has walk through the same path 2,000 years ago, under the aggression of his own people and the Roman empire. St John Paul II brought down the evil regime of communist Poland and set them free. Pope Leo is doing the same, bringing down the evils of Lucifer in this administration and some devils even called themselves Catholics, both JD Vance and Marco Rubio. Do what you must Holy Father. You are the Vicar of Christ. We believe in you and your work because what you do is what is written in the Gospel. May the Lord Jesus protect and safeguard the Holy Father in carrying your work.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and all of the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen!
Wait till the pope get his buttons pushed then the world is going to see the real tyrant
To clarify, what Trump means is, the pope isn’t very good at committing crime unlike himself.
If all the money spent on foreign affairs went into improving lives of citizens inside the country… Besides war, they also do foreign aid to purchase influence.
This pope is the biggest fool since the pope that oversaw the holocaust with calls of peace with nazis
"The world is being ravaged by a HANDFUL of tyrants, yet is held together by a MULTITUDE of supportive brothers and sisters." Powerful sentiment.
The world has always been destroyed by the selfish desires of a few at the expense of the peaceful needs of the majority.
A huge lot of today's leaders need to be ousted or held accountable!
I hope Pope Leo takes down Trumpism same way Pope John Paul took down Comunism. What a legend!
Pope represents the best in America, he is also American and the other guy I leave it to you …
The pope does a good job fighting the stupid things the president does 😊❤
It’s no mystery why the President obsesses over the Pope—Trump doesn’t just flirt with the seven deadly sins, he treats them like a checklist to be completed and proudly displayed. Where others collect Pokémon cards or rare memorabilia, he appears intent on assembling a full moral collapse, edition after edition:
Pride (Superbia): Towering arrogance and theatrical self-worship—long considered the root of all sin.
Avarice (Avaritia): A relentless fixation on wealth, status, and personal gain, no matter the cost.
Lust (Luxuria): A pattern of excess that blurs the line between indulgence and compulsion.
Wrath (Ira): Habitual outrage, vindictiveness, and a near-performative addiction to grievance.
Gluttony (Gula): Not just excess, but a conspicuous appetite for more—attention, praise, power.
Envy (Invidia): A simmering hostility toward anyone who outshines or challenges him.
Sloth (Acedia): Less laziness than a selective indifference to duty when it conflicts with ego.
In Catholic teaching, a mortal sin is a fully conscious and deliberate rejection of the good—an act that severs the soul from grace. Persist in it without repentance, and the consequence is not merely moral decay, but ultimate separation from God.
Imagine a KING…installed…for life. A KING was has his own litteral throne, a private army, banks, presides over his own COUNTRY, lives in a high walled fortress city, surrounded by gold and wealth. This MAN is the head of a " church " that is responsible for the rape and sexuall abuse of a hundred thousand plus children,the same church that protected, hid, moved the abusers and ignored the abuse for YEARS. The same church paid out BILLIONS ( his flocks donations ) to victims. And he wants peace…for the same religion that has slaughtered and enslaved millions since recorded history. Yes…the Pope/KING is attacking the President for stopping a nation run by lunatics from getting a nuke and killing millions. And the Pope/KING just happens to be Lib Dem Biden / Harris supporter…who would have guessed.
Not christian or catholic, and i have no particular sympathy towards the vatican, but i'm glad he's here right now!
Billions of dollars spend in war .million of people are hungry.use the money to feed the hungry people.is just a simple knowledge.and let the world live in peace.
👏 Leo! 👏
I am so proud that our Pope is standing up & being heard. Our Popes in the past have been too quiet whilst the world burns.
Pope has now become a light 🕯️ to a darker world which kills innocent school children by tyrant regime like Trump administration using tomahawk missiles to strike children schools and university in middle east 😢
not 'tyrants' simply 'deranged'
Is he political appointment?? Why he criticise Trump only?? Is he not aware on 100000 Christians killed in Nigeria, South Sudan Congo etc and thousands of church burnt?? Dhimmi or second class status of Christians in Pakistan, Egypt in line witn Quran? Why he is not.protesting killing of Christian converts in Iran and another 40000 killed by the regime in Jan 2026?? Even now iran kills 100s per day…. leave what is Ceasers tk Ceassrs …
We all need to be reminded we all Sin …Even the Pope…Repent and get right with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Exodus 20:3-5
King James Version
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
from President to King then Jesus, what next?
Trump is battling to take over Christianity and make it a state owned religion! His threats and abuse of the Holy Father is part of a great battle …the Holy Father fights for Truth of Christ, Trump and his armies of darkness fight for the lie that a “flag” is greater than the True Faith of Christ. This is so sad but there is always ONLY one victor and that is God and His Son Jesus Christ. Please all you Americans and Catholics stand up for the Truth of Christ… please don’t stand on the sidelines and let your beloved country fall into darkness. Christ is universal and unites. He does not divide and conquer through blood hatred and murder. Please be the people
Of Faith Jesus called you all to be 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️
Pope Leo is the right man for this Job right now. Power to the people and to positive leaders.
