För Leo XIV has made no effort to hide his disapproval of some of their views — especially when it comes to Vance. In fact, a verified X account associated with the new pope shared a pointed article back in February, from National Catholic Reporter.
The criticism of Vice President JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, escalated over his interpretation of Jesus’ teachings, according to NBC.
”JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.”
That op-ed was a direct response to Vance’s controversial comments on Fox News back in February, when he said: ”There is a Christian concept that you love your family and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens, and then after that, prioritize the rest of the world. A lot of the far left has completely inverted that.”
By resharing that article, Leo XIV made it pretty clear where he stands — and it wasn’t next to the Vice President.
The most recent activity on Pope Leo XIV’s verified X account came in mid-April, when he shared a post from a Catholic commentator criticizing Donald Trump and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele for joking about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident.
The post included a link to an article from the Catholic Standard, where Bishop Evelio Menjivar posed a pointed question to fellow Catholics: “Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?”
These moves suggests that while American leaders may be rallying behind the new pope, he’s not afraid to push back when their views don’t align with the core teachings of the Church.
