Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, emerged as the first American Pope with a history of vocal criticism towards former President Trump's policies, particularly immigration. Using his verified social media account, he shared incisive commentary from various Catholic voices, including a poignant retweet targeting Trump's deportation strategies alongside El Salvador's President Bukele. Prevost's platform amplified discussions about the Church's stance on social justice and immigration, underscoring the moral dilemmas within the political landscape that challenge Christian values, especially relating to compassion and neighborly love.
As Trump & Bukele use Oval to ???? Feds' illicit deportation of a US resident... once an undoc-ed Salvadorean himself, now-DC auxiliary bishop Evelio [Menjivar] asks, 'Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?'.
On Feb. 3, Prevost shared a link to a National Catholic Reporter article headlined 'JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others,' taking issue with remarks Trump's VP made during a Fox News interview.
Calling refugee bans 'a dark hour of US history,' Prevost was an active commentator on US politics during Trump's first term.
