The MAGA Catholic douchebags are kind of freaking out after Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday told a reporter that American right wingers aren’t really “pro-life” just because they’re anti-abortion, the AP reports. Not very long story short, Chicago’s Cardinal Blase Cupich was planning to give Dem Illinois Senator Dick Durbin a lifetime award for his work helping immigrants amid the objections from conservative bishops because abortion. Durbin already pre-declined the accolade and hometown hero Leo wasn’t even familiar with the situation when a reporter from right wing US Catholic-themed outlet EWTN asked him for comment. Still they proooobably didn’t get the answer they wanted.
“Someone who says ‘I’m against abortion but says I am in favor of the death penalty’ is not really pro-life. Someone who says that ‘I’m against abortion, but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,’ I don’t know if that’s pro-life,” said Leo, the first American successor to famous popes like Saint Peter and criminal sociopath Rodrigo Borgia.
“I don’t know if anyone has all the truth on them but I would ask first and foremost that there be greater respect for one another and that we search together both as human beings, in that case as American citizens or citizens of the state of Illinois, as well as Catholics to say we need to you know really look closely at all of these ethical issues and to find the way forward in this church. Church teaching on each one of those issues is very clear,” the Pope continued during his presser.
