You Think Trump and Leo Are Enemies: You're Half Right (See Note)

From Totus Catholica


Pope Leo XIV publicly rebuked President Trump over Iran, immigration, and the treatment of migrants at the southern border. Trump called him weak on crime. The media loves the fight. But buried beneath the public tension is a quiet agreement that goes deeper than politics. Both men defend human life from conception to natural death. In Isaiah 45, God calls pagan King Cyrus his mashiah, his anointed one, because Cyrus protected innocent life. Romans 13 teaches that civil authority is instituted by God. Acts 5:29 reminds us to obey God rather than men. The Consistent Ethic of Life is not a menu. It is Catholic dogma. Trump and Leo agree on the foundation.

Note - Trump is not nearly as pro-life as Dominic thinks he is, considering his support for in vitro fertilisation and other things condemned by the Church.
