Spain fears immigration from Muslim countries because integrating these immigrants is extremely difficult. The Pope’s message about a society living in harmony with Muslims is, in practice, very difficult to achieve, because Muslims actually want to impose their own model. Aside from that, the very Augustinian message that each of us should be a driving force in history, has, I believe, resonated deeply with Spaniards during these difficult times.
Spain was Muslim for more of its history than Christian. He didn't even bring up the Jesuit when he teaches in Ireland? Woke is a Religious Term for Awakened, which is a Christian Revival Term. He gave a bunch of Secular Progressive Terms used by people who think Secularism Progressed past Religion. Using those words to Peg the Other with a Brand in the Binary Reality their Westminster Dog Show of assumed Moral Superiority lives in. They don't know anything.
Spain didn’t make colonialismo England yes.
Pope Leo for President of the USA! But if he can't, I'll settle for Mr Prevost 🙌🙏
When you start to treat the Common Man as the Unwashed Masses, you are Marx and Pavlov with a Selfish Gene Meme for the Privileged Elites.
"The unwashed masses" (or "great unwashed") is a historical idiom dating back to the 1830s. Originally coined by English novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, it was used by the elite as a derogatory term for the working-class and poor to imply they lacked proper hygiene, wealth, and formal education.
Karl Marx’s famous description of religion as the "opiate of the masses" (or opium of the people) comes from his 1843 text, Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. It is a metaphor explaining how religion soothes the pain of the oppressed but prevents them from addressing the root causes of their suffering.
Ivan Pavlov (1849–1936) was a Russian physiologist who won the 1904 Nobel Prize for his work on digestion. He is best known for discovering classical conditioning, a learning process where a biological stimulus gets paired with a previously neutral stimulus to create an automatic, involuntary response.
What you call a show, is living faith, sir.
on a side note: as an American, I never knew how beautiful Spain was….the architecture, the arts, etc….i guess i was biased for England, LOL…..i never knew about Spain!
Great pope leo❤❤❤❤
It was crowded with Iberoamericana flags , use your glasses
GOD story is man made,……HUMAN create GOD,…everyday……
Would it be so hard to actually post the video of him speaking rather than some dude on webcam telling us what he said
They show that cross with a Defeated Christ. They know is a sin…that's why they are trying to modify it bit a bit…first the arms…after the cross will lift up again…embarrassing.
God bless dear Pope Leo
8:53 Pope Francis was excellent and Pope Leo XIV has always recognized this; so why make such comments?
Apparently he is very familiar with this country and had visited it quite a lot in the course of his duties. And of course he spent a lot of time in Peru. He probably has personal reasons for wanting to spend a week in a country the size of one our larger states (Texas is about the size of France). Not spending the Fourth here on our 250th anniversary and instead being in our face about illegal migration in Europe on that day certainly earns him negative points in my book, if you want to put it in math terms.
God Bless Pope Leo XIV

Definitely not a show. A Mass, Sir. I pray for you.
I am so proud to be Catholic
Please remember that, Catolicism has always been reshaping Spanish in particular, and European Civilization.
People are going crazy over this Pope. He is just a spiritual and intellectual angel. We are blessed
Pope Leo is so popular, because people connect with him. He is very relatable.
