Not usually a fan of the Pope but I am a big fan of people reading JD Vance for filth so... maybe I am a Pope fan. It's Poping time! Pope o'clock. Full article www.thepinknews.com/2025/02/12/p...
Under the new order, ICE is now allowed to target migrants at previously designated ‘safe haven’ locations like schools and churches for arrest and deportation. JD Vance, who is Catholic, has used a medieval Catholic concept known as “ordo amoris” – meaning “the order of love” – to justify the crackdown, claiming that the idea behind ordo amoris is that there is a hierarchy of care: to family first, followed by neighbours, then community, then fellow citizens, and finally those from other lands. “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests” The Pope, however, appeared to have no time for this defence, writing in his letter: “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the ‘Good Samaritan,’ that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.” The Associated Press reports that the director of the center for religion and culture at Fordham University, David Gibson, said in a social media post that Francis’ letter “takes aim at every single absurd theological claim by JD Vance and his allies in conservative Catholicism (and the Catholic electorate).”
