In this video, I break down the supposed feud between Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV—and explain why much of what people believe about it is simply false. More importantly, I challenge the modern understanding of “conservatism” and argue that many who claim the label today—including Trump—don’t actually meet its historical or philosophical standard.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
