I’m confused about JD Vance and Leonard Leo’s version of Catholicism. All Catholics are supposed to follow the Pope but this new sect is disregarding Pope Leo XIV’s calls to help and protect immigrants. Anybody with info or articles please post.

We Need to Have a Talk About Leonard Leo’s Version of Catholicism

Leo’s speech at the Catholic Information Center is worth listening to in its entirety.

Every 100•ish years, history repeats itself. Go read about the 1920s and how the GOP allowed businessmen to take over the government, which led to the Great Crash (1929) and the Great Depression that followed. I’m hoping we get to the part where an FDR-like figure emerges to correct the corruption.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.
