For starters, he certainly knows how to dress the part. I will take that as a win right off the bat. He’s not Parolin, Tagle, McElroy or Cupich, so there’s that. His opening remarks referenced God and being missionaries of Christ. Is he for open borders? Of course he is.
Was there a coordinated campaign by liberal media outlets to get him in the Seat? It sure looks like it. Does that mean he isn’t Pope because the rules were broken? No, that is not what that means.
Look. If this man is a True Pope, the Holy Ghost is in charge now. Let’s give Him some time. It won’t take long.
Well said, Mark. Let’s give him a few days here at least.
Just made the comment to someone that this could be either really good or really bad but regardless, we will know pretty quickly.
While media campaigns could influence cardinal electors, they certainly are not binding commitments or deals with cardinal electors
People are acting like either Francis and Leo XIV were both valid, or both invalid. They’re terrified of getting a repeat.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Francis was never pope, never had the Holy Spirit, never had the Petrine Promise. Leo XIV is the valid pope, has the Holy Spirit, has the Petrine Promise.
All the liberal credentials in the world are no match for the charisms that come with the papacy. To think otherwise is to be Protestant.
