Pope Leo: You’re Not Pro-Life If You Oppose Open Borders
"I don’t know if anyone has all the truth on them"
October 1, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield

Pro-life is so complicated. Some think it means not killing babies in the womb, but when you’re liberal, then you understand that pro-life means being liberal.

Pope Leo XIV responded to controversy over the Chicago cardinal’s plans to honor a Catholic U.S. senator who supports legalized abortion, saying that the senator’s record should be considered in its totality and that Americans should search together for the truth on ethical issues.

Several U.S. bishops condemned Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich’s plans to honor U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, with a “lifetime achievement award” for his work surrounding immigration policy despite his pro-abortion voting record.

“I am not terribly familiar with the particular case. I think it’s important to look at the overall work that a senator has done during, if I’m not mistaken, in 40 years of service in the United States Senate,” the Pope told reporters on Tuesday in response to a question from EWTN News.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Catholics have a REAL BEAUTY in this guy. :3:  How does he explain the Vatican not being pro-life since it does not support open borders there? :shrug:

Of course the Pope likes open borders ... Catholic Charities makes a mint providing services to illegal immigrants ... plus the Church is desperate to get more @$$e$ back into pews in American churches to make up for those who left the Church after the Clergy Sex Abuse Scandals.

It's not personal, it's business.

Catholics have a REAL BEAUTY in this guy.

Out of 1.4 billion Catholics, they chose him.  108 of the 133 cardinals at the conclave were selected by Pope Francis.  Now this guy gets to influence the next round.  I don't know how the Catholics get out of this cycle, but I wish they would do something.

Vatican City’s immigration law, one of the strictest in Europe

Vatican citizenship is a rare status, tightly controlled and highly coveted. According to official records, only 618 individuals hold Vatican citizenship, making it the most exclusive in the world.

AGOSTO 29, 2024 20:02

(ZENIT News / Rome, 08.30.2024).- The Vatican City, though best known as the spiritual and administrative heart of the Roman Catholic Church, is also a unique sovereign state governed by its own civil laws. Despite its small size and population, this city-state is rigorously safeguarded, both physically and legally, under a set of stringent regulations that define its borders, citizenship, and residency.

A Fortress City Protected by Ancient Walls

Encircled by the imposing Leonine Walls, the Vatican City’s borders stretch approximately 3.2 kilometers, marking the boundary between the state and Italy. These walls, dating back to the 9th century, rise 14 meters high, serving as a formidable defense for the world’s smallest independent nation. Despite its size, the Vatican maintains a strong sense of sovereignty, with these ancient fortifications symbolizing its enduring independence.  .  .

Exactly.  In fact, Thomas Aquinas would argue that Catholics have a duty to follow reasonable civil laws, such as immigration restrictions, precisely because they do not impinge on matters of moral law.

No one said we were not for them living, just in their own countries, unless they want to come here legally.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In addition to his disturbing support for open borders, the Pope raised eyebrows by appearing at a climate change powwow, blessing a block of ice.

You read that correctly. He blessed a block of ice.

Horrific. The whole thing. Pope Leo blesses a block of ice and then stands there while these communist freaks do some kind of weird pagan Earth worshipping hippy ritual. The leader of the Catholic Church shouldn’t be anywhere near this nonsense. What the hell are we doing here

I agree, that is the correct interpretation of what Moses brought down from the mountain.
