'Our new woke pope': Newly minted pontiff’s post slamming JD Vance lights up social media

Cardinal Dr. Robert Prevost has officially taken the name Pope Leo XIV, becoming the first American head of the Catholic Church in history. And a tweet Prevost wrote earlier this year about Vice President JD Vance is going viral.

In February, Prevost amplified an op-ed published in the National Catholic Reporter in which author Kat Armas criticized the vice president (who converted to Catholicism in 2019) over his remarks suggesting there was a hierarchy of Christian priorities. Vance told Fox News in late January: "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."

Prevost's tweet repeated the headline of the op-ed: "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others."

"[The Apostle] Paul reminds them: love starts close. It moves first toward those in front of us, ensuring widows were not abandoned while preserving the church's resources for those truly without support," Armas wrote in the op-ed. "But make no mistake — this isn't about love confined to bloodlines or geographic boundaries. It's about love rooted in responsibility, expanding outward. And it was subversive even then."

Prevost/Leo XIV's tweet lit up social media, with various journalists and commentators like Democratic strategist Matt McDermott celebrating "our new woke pope."
 
Wow! It only took a few hours to politicize the Pope. At least he didn't take the name Pope Pius, thank God.

There was never a time in history when the papacy was not political.

Well, maybe in the first two or three centuries of the Christian Era -- but there were no popes then, the Bishop of Rome was just the Bishop of Rome and had no authority outside that diocese.
 
I hear he's a fucking Chicago Democrat. Teh gays oughta look out! :)
 
Pope Leo was born in Chicago, but his family has New Orleans creole and Haitian roots. When the Provosts moved north to Chicago in the early 1940's their skin was light enough to pass for white. Not only is Leo the first American pope, he's a great example of the American melting pot.

As a young priest, the pope worked a lot with the poor in Peru, so the Peruvians have also adopted him as one of their own.

Pope Leo has already been talking with liberal German cardinals about reforming the church's policies regarding homosexuality and women. Big changes could be coming.

You don't strike me as being catholic, or religious for that matter. :)

No, I'm an atheist Jew, but I'm fascinated by the history of the Catholic Church. Under the leadership of an aggressively liberal Pontiff, the modern church could actually be a force for good.

His history of sex abuse cover ups could become a thing. We'll see. :)

...is still completely unsubstantiated at this time. The worst we know for sure is that he was adjacent to a few cases, which is probably true of just about all Church leaders.

The Catholic church has a systemic abuse problem with a long history. When something like that starts affecting people I personally know, I know it's true. The head dude always owns it. :)

Perhaps, but he's still entitled to the benefit of the doubt until there's some evidence that he actually did cover something up.

I saw he worked in Peru for 20 years, right up till 2023. He was Bishop of Chiclayo 2015-2023. He spent time in Rome before that and was ordained there. Did he also spend time in Peru before studying in Italy? If he did, that shows some great love for the country that he returned to live and work there for 20 whole years.

I always figured the first American Pope would be born after 1970 because of all the taint from priests born earlier than that.

I think the Gen X priests had high speed internet and PornHub. Lol.
