Ohhh Catholics that got super mad at me for saying I donβt support the American adoption industry are going to have contend with the new pope not supporting the biggest supporters of the American adoption industry either!! 
From the very first and truly beautiful homily of Pope Leo XIV π₯Ή
"Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure.
These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised or at best tolerated and pitied. Yet, precisely for this reason, they are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed. A lack of faith is often tragically accompanied by the loss of meaning in life, the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family and so many other wounds that afflict our society.
Today, too, there are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman. This is true not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians, who thus end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism."

I pray for the Catholic Church and I pray for the new pope. May he guide his flock to the fullness of Christs love. May the living god of love and hope and truth β¦οΈ the savior of the whole world and all the ages π―οΈ have mercy on all our souls

In some ways Pope Leo XIV already reminds me of Pope Benedict XVI. Canβt quite put my finger on it. Something to do with their academic approach
A guy named Bob from America is the pope now! I canβt believe it!
