I wish more people did.

I was really scared when I heard it's an American. I figured the MAGA group that was seen in Rome recently had gotten their way

Maybe things will be ok though

Anyone whos actually read the Bible should hate the way Trump treats immigrants.

So it tracks that a Cardinal would hate Trump, but most Christians dont.

So what is his view on abortion and LGBT rights?

Is he just an anti-Trump Republican. Where people celebrate anti-Trump view but then you look at other views and it conservative. Or he liberal/Democrat.

I wonder if he was picked in part as a protest against Trump?

I don't know his views on everything but he is supposedly a centrist.

Par for the course when it comes to Catholics, I imagine. Those two issues have always been where they get the most conservative.

I really don't think his choice was anything to do with Trump. Trump will be President for less than four years now. The cardinals are only concerned with the state of the Church in the long term.

He was picked to preserve Francis' legacy.

I don't know his views on everything but he is supposedly a centrist.

He has standard Catholic views. He's never going to be a 'progressive' in the way that we use the word to describe US politics. His views on poverty, immigration, and climate change are going to piss off MAGA a lot.

Has MAGA already realized that in his first speech as Pope he spoke a bit in Spanish and not a single word in English?

I doubt they would pick an American to protest Trump, unless that American is super progressive (which they probably wouldn't do anyway)

It's just very difficult to think the current political climate around the globe as a result of US politics wasn't an influence. Most the rest of the world hates Trump (as do we but not so overwhelmingly a majority) and would love to undermine his influence.

If you wanted to pick a pope that was specifically a middle finger to Trump, this would be it.

So are a lot of the traditional news anchors espousing typical liberalism ideals during Trump's terms.

I honestly only care about his stance on climate change and how hard he pushes it. Then maybe dealing with global conflict. Not sure what the hell is supposed to say about AI, which is my third highest source of existential paranoia on behalf of all humanity.

Hell, Im still a registered Republican despite hating the partys guts and wanting absolutely nothing to do with them since I live in a deep red county in a traditionally red state and I dont want my vote getting accidentally shredded simply because they happen to see my name on the Democratic voter rolls.

Yeah, imagine the conundrum the Catholic Church would be in if he was a registered Democrat, especially with a record of pro-choice stances.

his social & political views (from wiki):

Prevost does not support the ordination of women to the diaconate: it "doesn't necessarily solve a problem", and "it might make a new problem".[59]

Prevost opposes euthanasia and abortion.[60]

As a bishop[when?] Prevost opposed the inclusion of curriculum regarding "teachings on gender in schools" in Peru, stating that the "promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don't exist".[61]

An acquaintance of Pope Leo XIV in Chiclayo, Jess Len ngeles, noted that he cared for Venezuelan refugees in Peru.[62][63]

Earlier, in 2012, Prevost said popular culture fostered "sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel", citing the "homosexual lifestyle" and "alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children".[61]

On Twitter, Prevost has criticized abortion, contraceptives, and the death penalty,[64] alongside expressing sympathy for George Floyd and criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance's policies on immigration.

at least he cares about doing something against global climate change:

Prevost has stated that the Catholic Church should take greater action against climate change. "Dominion over nature" should not be "tyrannical", he said in a November 2024 seminar.

I don't know why this keeps getting brought up.

1) It's the Catholic Church. Pope Francis saying he's not to judge LGBT+ people is about as liberal as they'll get on that issue.
2) I'm led to believe that LGBT issues are not an area where the US is lagging behind the general international consensus, as right-leaning as we may be as a country on the global political spectrum.

At least? You're acting like him addressing the single most threatening issue we face as a species right now is some kind of silver lining. (Also, that block of text included sympathies toward George Floyd, being against the death penalty, and directing criticism at the current administration when most US citizens in any kind of power are currently too afraid to do so.)
